This is a huge thing that I think we've been missing. We just weren't deflecting passes as much or being as active as earlier in the year.

Not really numbers that will attract NBA scouts....
Really nice second half effort by the guys. I thought THT played within himself for the most part. An aggressive Shayok is what we need the rest of the year. And how about that defensive performance?
Defensive intensity sparked it. Offensive production sealed it.
Defense was great tonight and the second half was the best since maybe Kansas.
Those back to back shot clock violations were awesome.

Nice to get a win again. I’m not doing cartwheels yet though. OU is a bad team.
Pull one out at Texas and I’m starting to believe again.

Seems like Lard is finally starting to get things together a bit. It would be great to see him come out and just dominate one of these games.
They did get off-track several times with extended discussion of topics not directly related to the game, sometimes during live-ball action.
I know the first half wasn't great, but I thought it was significantly different than the first halves against TCU, Baylor, and TCU. Our defense wasn't great in the first half, but Oklahoma made some contested shots. When Oklahoma went on some runs, we didn't let them turn into terrible runs. Nick's 8 rebounds were huge. Everyone was diving on the floor and attempting to get rebounds. Lindell played well and had a nose for the ball.
We played well enough.....against a dog in the Big 12.OU isn't a good test....But, all things considered, did i expect our team to be as good as they are this year? No. So... I am happy where we are but a bit disappointed we didn't capitalize on the regular season.

I thought he was good on offense, but not great on defense.
Ehhh.....obviously you should beat Oklahoma at home. It would have been a significantly worse home loss than TCU or Baylor (and those were bad). But they had won two straight. They are sort of still in the mix for the NCAA. They have a very good coach.
I thought this was really positive:
“Shayok texted Prohm before the game letting him know he was prepared to do whatever it takes to win from here on out.”
''I just wanted to make sure I have no regrets leaving Iowa State. I'm going to leave it all out there for sure,'' Shayok said.

I notice a few comments downplaying the win a bit, due to the quality of opponent. Sure, OU is a team Iowa State should expect to beat at Hilton, and is close to falling off the bubble. Conversely, Oklahoma was coming off wins at TCU and vs. UT.
OU is by no means a world beater, but after we've been in a slump I was going to be happy with just about any win. We came out in the second half (granted shooting well from 3 helps), but played well especially on the defensive end and closed out an inferior opponent. Workmanlike effort from our guys, time to prep for a tough Texas team!
It's called coincidence. Why not do the same analysis with our wins and see where Wiggs sat. Also , you could look at the same losses and do the same math for a few other players.
Defense was decent in the first half, they just shot well.
