They were up by 10 with 14 minutes left and lost by 13. They will get support, but that’s a collapse, no way around it. 2 games in a row with huge scoring droughts

Their offense looked bad when the bearded groves sat on the bench. Similar to ours when IB sits. They were hitting on all cylinders when he was in. We were hitting on all cylinders in the first half. Just ran out of gas
We also doubled like usual, but it recoveries were very slow. Just not the usual good D at the end. It happens. And it leads to easy shots, which they made a lot of.
Not sure why people think this. Our best looks came off this most of the night. George was making great passes out of this action tonight.
I think they correctly called the flop technical. What I'm curious about, though, is why count the basket? The flop was before he made his move to shoot.
I'm curious how the rule works. Should the shot have been waved off instead of a 4 point momentum swinging possession?

you must have misread my post then. I said it looked beautiful the last ten.
While they were racking up the huge ft disparity it was ISU that was the beautiful offense. Just a **** game but it’s a part of college basketball more than any other widely followed sport.
The team hit a wall today but the question is do they hit the wall if they are up by 20 or does that cause OU to throw in the towel.
I expected to lose today. I was super thrilled with how we were playing early but I’m not going to freak out that we didn’t beat a marginal top 25 team on the road. A team that almost beat Baylor on the road earlier this week. Some of you need some sort of medication to control your emotions.
The absolutely earned the wins. They outplayed the opponents with an early established identity. The question was will it last because the limitations talent wise were pretty evident. We're about to see how that goes.
Bolded: I've been asking what ISU can do when they just need a bucket and since a contested jumper is going to be tough to rely on, they need to figure out who they can post up or whatever to create a high % shot.
Side note: Cortes was their best player in the second half and will be a thorn in ours and the rest of the B12's side. Kid can really play.
Only take i have from this is that losing on the road in the Big 12 is ok. We're going to do it a lot. So will everyone else.
What im not ok with is choking games away. Get your **** together and use this as a wake up call. Otherwise youll be staring at 1-5 in conference soon enough

They seemed to adjust to it at half and then we need to do something else besides jack tough shots
That cortez kid got away with like 4-5 passes that were actually terribly dumb passes that ISU turns into TO in 9 of 10 games. They just happened to hit today when the ISU D was just off tonight
it was the best half of offense I’ve ever seen from any team that got zero fts in the half and first 39 minutes of a game.
Usually a 0, 1, or 2 ft half means your offense sucked and lacked any energy.
**** happens in college basketball. Things snowball and momentum is wild in CBB. It’s why it’s awesome. Time to flush it and get ready to play loose in AFH.
Just think about the last 5 mins of that game…. how many horrible 18 foot guarded jumpers we were throwing up there versus all the layups OU was getting off great hard cuts to the basket….. it was insane.
Cortes was carving us up like crazy…. dude can ball.
I will say though…. it’s just ridiculous how hard it is to win on the road in the Big 12 nowadays. It really isn’t fair. All home teams won today except TCU against Baylor, but they nearly pulled it off.
Playing on the road is supposed to be more difficult because of having to travel, sleep in a strange bed, and deal with opposing fans, etc….. that’s normal…. but you shouldn’t also have to battle slanted officiating too…. that’s not right. If officials are being persuaded by home crowds to make calls in their favor, they need to find a different line of work.

Agree and the negative comments about him here are kind of gross
