***Official OSU vs ISU Gameday Thread***

Tonight marks the start of the schedule going in our favor. It also marks the first visit by the OSU athletic team that was directly affected by November's tragedy. My seat is in the parquet section behind the visiting team bench and I think tonight it is going to be emotional night because we all know Kurt and Miranda are gone, but tonight to see the OSU bench and not see those two on the sidelines will be tough. Maybe it's because ISU has a male coach in Bill, but one of my favorite Big 12 visiting coaches was Kurt and also Gary Blair. Loved the games when he would break out the bright orange blazer.

The schedule is favorable, but not easy. Coaches thinks we could actually win EVERY single game on the schedule...but the team has to continue to battle and improve. Getting the confidence at home with some victories this week will be a critical step in that direction.

OSU is not an easy team to beat. This should give us pause if we think they will be a pushover.
They beat...Texas (at home)...Oklahoma (at home)...Mizzou (there)...and...ATM (at home). They will be dangerous and we can expect another Big 12 style game tonight. No easy ones this year!

We are also a team that is going to be a tough out as well. I think how tough our schedule has been will benefit us down the stretch. Also it appears that Hallie and Lauren have got their grooves back and if we can get that production to continue I like our chances.

Doug Gottlieb was from OSU?
Okay, we need to win tonight then.

Video fine here.

Both teams have taken a lot of shots, but not many are falling.

 

[mred]

OSU up 8-7 at the first break. ISU only has 2 FG, but HC has a pair of FT and a three.

 

[mred]

Harris in. A rare lineup without either senior guard

 

[mred]

12-11 ISU at 2nd break. Not great shooting for either team. Not a really sloppy game, just shots not falling.

 

[BoxsterCy]

Finally got CZ up and running after having to login in and out four times.

 

[mred]

I will say ISU's missed shots look better than OSU's. A lot of shots just barely off the mark for ISU, yet they are up 15-13 and HC is shooting 2 after the break. 7:35 left in the half.

7:35 left, 15-13 ISU

I wonder if we ever practice in Hilton anymore? It seems like we don't shoot well at home, sometimes.

 

[fccy]

Yes, but I don't know how often. There was a practice on a Sunday after a men's game (can't remember which one).

Lets get to half and than start over in the 2nd. wow, shooting is brutal!

 

[mred]

The pace has been so fast with so few fouls/turnovers that the officials just stopped play after a made basket for a media timeout. 1 minute left. 26-26.

 

[mred]

The teams have combined to shoot around 30%
