Made the Cyclone D look foolish. Heck of a shooting night. Good luck till you See ISU again. I hate the die by the three saying, but when our guys go cold they really go cold. Wish we had the toughness to get it done in the lane. Couldn't match OU on the physical aspects of the game today at all.

Really pleased with how they responded after the Texas debacle. Free throw shooting was just ridiculous. Lon is building a legitimate team, thankful to have him

Did the fans leave at halftime to party? Lot of empty seats in the second half.

Senior day with one home game left pretty much sums up their fanbase

Hoping to get OU again in the 4-5 game in Kansas City. Each team dominated the other at home, so I'm guessing a neutral court game will be a really good one.

Plus at this point ISU will either be the 4, 5, or 6 seed, and if we fall to the 6, we'll have to play either OSU or KSU in our first game. Don't want that.

Why can your fans still not fill the gym?

Only time we consistently filled the stands ever at Oklahoma was when Billy Tubbs was running and gunning. OU fans aren't diehard hoop fans. We're making the tournament and if we start out with some momentum next season the attendance # will go up.

For Oklahoma fans its Football, Recruiting, Spring Football and then Hoops

is 34-34 the best ft shooting ever against ISU? I'm sure there's a more ridiculous all time record, but I can't remember a team hitting better than that in a game I watched.

Can't really complain about it, was well called early then ISU just fouled a lot trying to get back into it. ISU was outplayed in other areas, but ft shooting made it a blowout instead of a likely closer OU win.

They played a really good game. They really should be complamented on their free-throw shooting.

Once we got down by 10 and were not hitting from 3, we were screwed against them. They have the size inside and the basketball IQ to actually use it, plus even if we did fould, they were just nailing everything from line.

They really are a very solid team. I am not a big fan of having to play them in the 4/5 game. Our tourney chances could come down to it (most likely will unless we win the next 2 which is even harder IMHO).

Once Sam Freaking Grooms started hitting 18 foot jumpers we were doomed. After watching OU play in Ames I can't believe we were capable of losing to them but alas, we are. Our defense has gotten just putrid. Wednesday is a must win.
