I’m surprised Cam didn’t get T’d up with the shushing of the crowd, TBH.

If he was shushing a crowd of thousands of people, he probably would have been. He shushed approximately 3 people so they let it slide.

Those dead environments seemed to be kryptonite to some of those Hoiberg teams. I've always thought we played better in road games with a good crowd, our teams are used to playing with the noise, even if its a team cheering against them.

This is why Cam celebrating a posterizing dunk is so important. It just give the team a boost of energy on the road. I don't see why people take issue with Cam's edge. Great teams need a player like that to set the tone.

Agreed. Aside from maybe the KU game at Hilton we have yet to see this team firing on all cylinders. If they're peaking in March then watch out.

@Ole Miss was about as firing on all cylinders as you can get.

I like re-reading game threads to see the roller coaster of emotions going on.

I could have done without the pre-school slap-fight that was woven throughout, but otherwise, this was an entertaining read.

As long as he doesn't cost us points with a T I am all for it. We also need him to control himself enough to not foul out as much. We need that energy. He did great with it against OU.

People bitched about Cam’s lack of emotion. Now they ***** about his emotion on the court. I’ll let you figure out the common denominator.

When OU tied it late the announcer says something along the line of "The arena has come alive!" Meanwhile in the background on TV there is about 8-9 people sitting in the stands. I'm sure it was absolutely deafening in there...

Were the announcers even there or are they back in a studio, I swear it looks like a blue screen shot every time they talk with the crowd behind them.

Favorite part about last night was that it seemed like, even though we were struggling, someone would take over and carry the team for awhile. Early on, THT was the only one getting it going, then Wigginton took over, Tyrese got a bit more aggressive in the 2nd half and hit a coupe huge shots, then down the stretch, Lard and Shayok did their thing. Throughout the game, Jacobsen answered the bell when he was called on and hit some important shots. It wasn't pretty and it definitely wasn't everyone hitting on all cylinders but all of the rotation guys took their turn stepping up.

We've been lucky to watch some really exciting Cyclone teams the last decade but this one might be the most fun to watch.

Can you imagine those 2 dunks in Hilton. The roof would have blown off

I think I blew the roof off of my house, woke up the wife and 1 year old, wife wasn't happy but she a big Cam fan so I was forgiven this morning when I showed her the highlight.

Bump for gifs of the first Lard dunk. DAMN!

Too long of an explanation but on Jalen and Jakolby a few years ago Jakolby asked Jalen how he avoided getting posterized in the NBA and Jalen just sang the 'Get out the way' a bit to say he basically didn't even try to defend someone getting crazy on a dunk.

Anyway, OU basically did that. Don't blame them.
