Really? As others have stated, he had great looks on a lot of the shots he took and just missed more than usual. I can't believe how some people are so quick to react to one game's worth of shooting from someone, geez.

Mostly we were up 8, then a couple of bad shots, a turnover and 3 straight OSU 3's led to the 1 point halftime deficit.
Two of those 3s were bad shots for OSU, they just happened to hit them. Its a make/miss game some times.
Yes, the leading scorer in the Big XII should be thinking "pass first" when he's wide open. Really?
Totally. We're there some lapses? Sure. But its amazing how quickly some people seem to forget that basketball is a game of runs and sustaining runs, when it happens against ISU.
Solo came into the game, and the offense kinda came off the tracks, coupled with OSU hitting 3s lead to a 9-0 run. I hope Young can get his legs back under him and gel with the team, we certainly will have our best team if he's able to play good minutes in February, but not surprised Prohm didn't put him back in, in the second half.
Okie St. hit three 3 pointers from about 30 feet to erase an eight point deficit. We did have a bad TO out of a time out in that span.
Yeah it was really a matter of we went cold and they got hot. I didn't take much from it as far as breakdowns in defense goes. They hit some deep threes in that stretch too.
Thought it was a good first conference game given the circumstances, i.e. still getting guys back into the flow. Thought there were really good stretches of offense and then really poor ones with a lot of one on one play. I imagine Wigginton starts from here on out.
Lard looked better.
THT looked like a freshman for one of the few times this year.
Thought Talley would have played more.

Interestingly, the Jacobson/Lard/Young combo added up to 40 minutes, which tells me that they all played at the 5. I expect that Jacobson will slide in some minutes at the 4 to expand out the available minutes to this group, but the usage last night might mean that this doesn't happen as much as we thought it would.
So, what do you call 36.3% from the floor? Scorching? When you can shoot that crappy and still win on the road, I don't think it matters what body type you are.
We guarded the perimeter better than we guarded drives to the rack.
We as a fan base love to rag on the best players.
While I do agree that he was taking good shots, there were at least a few he could have passed it for a “great” shot.
I haven’t read through all of this, but we held them to 27 in the second half.
If it weren’t for the 3 minute stretch at the end of the half where they hit some bombs, they’d have scored 50 points. Good effort on that end last night

"Chucker" wasn't derived from a single game. Having more options will help. We are still in an adjustment period.
Shayok is shooting 50% from the floor this season and putting up 20 ppg. This is an absurd take
Playing a lot on a bad team does not say much good for you. Most teams that turn their fortunes around do so by turning over much their roster/rotation.
I like Zoran and glad he is a Cyclone -- he is solid bench depth with a high floor, even if his ceiling is limited because he is kind of limited offensively. He is a senior, though, so you kind of know what you are getting compared to a younger player.
I love Lewis -- I think the potential there is still obvious. I still hope/think he morphs into a good bench gunner as a junior and senior. He might never have a full-time starting job or play more than 20-25 minutes per night, but I can see him coming in next year, scoring 12 real fast to put some pressure on a defense, and then tagging back out.
Which is so dumb considering not only has he been terrific on the offensive side he's also a plus defender as well
