*** Official Oklahoma State vs #11 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[Malone]

Kunc has played pretty well

Got me there.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Agree, quite frankly don't have a good feeling on how the end of this regular season is going to go.

Lose and Big 12 regular season champ is out the window. But still plenty to play for

 

[Cydewayz]

Time to just let Lipsey try to get to the hoop ..make some....get fouled....best chance for some FTs with the clock stopped

 

[madguy30]

We just aren’t very good.

It's a good team that plays beyond their abilities and their limitations show out against the OSUs.

Not the auto-conference champ that some seem to think they are though.

 

[SCarolinaCy]

2 things can be true at the same time. There is no reason for Kunc to be body checked with no call. There is no reason for Grill to make a pristine strip and get called for a foul. Refs are not good. But that isn't why ISU is losing.

 

[CloneLawman]

Lead us, Lipsey.

And a freshman shall lead them all.

I think we're kinda hitting the proverbial "wall". We play so hard on defense all the time, and we've had no Williams all year, no King first half of the season, no Kunc for a month.... guys are looking a bit tired.

 

[Prone2Clone]

We're in serious trouble. It's possible we blew too many windows of opportunity.

We can't defend the 3 at all, and our 5s are stalling the offense (and the offensive flow is bad enough as it is).

Points in the first half where they usually stretch things out at Hilton…they didn’t stretch things out.

 

[Pharmacy99]

Not happening. Bad matchup as many have said. Really frustrating.

Wow, what a timing for isuno1fan to chime in

We’re getting tired playing that hard defense. Always running out of gas.

 

[madguy30]

We’ve just had the look of a team who thought all they had to do was show up at Hilton and we’d win.

I think fans thought this.

They have the look of a team that struggles to beat teams with the speed and height of OSU. They're still playing their asses off.

 

[Walden4Prez]

OSU has essentially played a terrible game, that tells you the ******* we are.

 

[mjhavlo76]

We’re gonna get kicked in the nuts again… SMH

 

[Cyinthenorth]

One problem is Oklahoma State plays our game and if they aren't better at it than we are, they are pretty darn close.

They are just playing harder than us right now and hitting shots better than us. Scary part is we are lucky because they have doubled our turnovers

They are normally a trash shooting team, but they've shot very well both times against us now

 

[madguy30]

why do we look so slow and tired?

Because everyone should play more.

 

[Darius Bieber]

OSU has essentially played a terrible game, that tells you the ******* we are.

And without one of their best players, who killed us last game.

 

[67CY]

I wished the rest of the team wanted to win like our freshman does. I think he is the only one that understands what it takes to win. You would think the rest with all their experience would, but not sure about that

 

[CloniesForLife]

Ok state has been a tough matchup for us the last couple years. Lots of ugly games

 

[ISUAlum2002]

7 out of 14 on FTs. Ridiculous.

Free throws free throws free throws.
