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

[Final42b]

I can’t wait for Oklahoma to leave the big 12

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.

Having George that high doesn't always work, but it led to some good feeds in this game.

And the bleeding intensifies.

We’re going to lose Tuesday as well. It’s gonna be ok.

 

[NoCreativity]

Ok, I had to leave for a family function when we were up 43-34. So we gave up 45 points in the last 17 minutes? Wtf!!!!

 

[AuH2O]

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

Definitely seemed like our guys got gassed like they had not in past games. OU moved the ball enough and made our guys work on O and it caught up to ISU in the end.

 

[cyclones500]

I thought the offense was effective (relatively speaking) most of the game, but when we lost the lead went into complete panic mode AND that happened to coincide with OU shredding our defense (which was its usual dependable self for the most part).

 

[AllInForISU]

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.

I guess I don’t know where you are thinking they get 10 FTs in the game (and think they would make them all). They didn’t force the issue for the refs. They settled for too many contested midrange shots instead of taking it hard to the rack.

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

And it appears teams like TCU and OSU can't be slept on.

 

[HFCS]

Can anybody agree that Gibson drew ten fts and Brockington didn’t create enough contact for one? IB and Hunter were the most aggressive dangerous offensive players in the game and both 0-0.

This thing was a joke. They need to forget it and move on but fans can discuss reality.

 

[dirtyninety]

We were talking about the last 10 mins. In which case their offense was very good and efficient, probably helped by fatigue on ISUs part.

fatigue and lack of morale from all the valid above mentioned. Wish I had A Bridge Too Far gif where Rundstedt is quizing FM Model about the western front in Belgium....

 

[stateofmind]

Love that Tyrese knows the classic quotes about winning in Lawrence. “Just another gym”.

I don't think it was the deciding factor, but the light contact fouls they called in the last 3 mins on OU was there to call the entire night.

 

[larrysarmy]

17 guaranteed games left. Get 7 wins and we should be in the tourney. We are limited and arguably in the toughest stretch in our conference season. We could lose the next 4 and likely fall out of the rankings (which may not be a bad thing), reset and go find 7 wins.

Ah, so it's YOUR fault!

So what you’re saying is, this was your fault.

 

[MattCampbell]

GK can’t start the next game. It would be ok if he was getting 8-10 pts but there were multiple instances where he made a bad offensive play, and then came down and made a bad defensive play. I feel bad for the kid but something is going on and tre or Caleb deserve those minutes.

I agree. It was very strange. Not much consistency

This by a bunch. How many times did ISU make OU really get out of position in the lane to create the contact?

ISU was not able to guard on ball as well either which looked to result the calls on them. OU went right at them.

 

[BeneventiCy28]

Oklahoma is a must destroy at home now. I will lose my voice at that one.

This, this, this x1,000. I won’t forget this game come Feb 19th

 

[clonedude]

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

Yeah…. you gotta love fat ugly guys sitting at home typing on their keyboards making fun of a kid’s looks, and then that same kid takes over the last 5 mins of the game and wins it for OU.

Paybacks are a b**ch!
