OSU will win a few at home but like that we weathered the barage of 3s from them. they likely wont hit contested 3s like that very often so getting out of there with a W is great. Definitely need to be much sharper on Saturday just to have a shot at KU. I truly wish we'd find a way to exploit our mismatches better in THT and Shayock in midrange post ups.
Well, I am glad you let it flow after holding it for long
My starting 5 that I want against Kansas:
NWB
Wiggi
Hali
Shayok
Lard
NWB
Wiggi
Hali
Shayok
Lard
Whew! It wasn't always pretty, but it's a Big 12 road win! Lots of learning points tonight: Need to clean up our offensive efficiency and perimeter defense.
Take aways of the game:
1. Lindell needs to be on the floor. Period.
2. Lard needs to max out for this team to play their best.
3. Jacobsen looked good in the non-conf but I think he’ll be exposed as a solid #2 off the bench in B12 play.
4. Haliburton is clutch. Reminds me of Naz with those threes. We need to see more of those from him.
5. Shayok seemed like he was having an off night. Needs to slow down with the threes, but can’t really blame him for taking open shots.
6. THT had a rough night, but he still should start over NWB.

We looked good with the extra passes and D is better. We're not a good shooting team: 37% FG and 33% trey. Gotta have those improve.
Tried watching without a beer, didn't you? Dangerous.
A win is a win is a win. Not our best offensive performance but when we decided in the 2nd half to guard the 3 point line we were good on defense.
I’d even say well below average, which is really good since we were able to pick a road win up playing well below our average. Think that says a lot.
Good character building game. Better ISU teams have folded on the road to worse teams when shooting bad in a dead arena
Good win, considering Shayok had a bad game and THT was out for a good chunk. Wigginton was outstanding.
Encouraged to see more playing time and contributions from Cam, which makes me think he's getting back on track.
Was a pretty "runny" game, glad we stayed tough and put together some runs of our own. More importantly, withstood the last OSU push around 3 min. to go (61-58) and closed the game out with some key FT's and rebounds.
Beat KU.

Time to start working on photoshopping Bill Self in a prison jumpsuit for the sign I want to make.
I’ll take a road win anyway you can get it.
Also ahead for a majority of the game with exception to OSU hitting 3s since that's what they do best.
