I'm not even going to touch of the end of the game, all I can say about that is LOL.

This is a game we obviously should have won, but turnovers and no interior defense killed us. Particularly giving up so many Top 10 dunks after we had built up a lead. No excuse, shouldn't have been close at the end.

I am really concerned with how this team finishes (or doesn't) halves.

The good news is that we can be a really hot team and beat anybody on any given night, but our defense concerns me. We just need to focus on winning the games we are supposed to win and just win baby come tournament time.

I would like to hear from the Babb haters that think he needs to come off the bench.

I really can't recall ANYONE ever saying that on this board. Don't get me wrong we have some stupid people on here but no one really thinks that do they?

Nice guy coach that sits on the bench and doesn't fire up the players or refs.

Undisciplined, stupid basketball.

That was the biggest cluster-**** of officiating that I've seen in a loooooong time.

Well, we lost it the last 2 minutes. Take away the miracle half court shot and we win. This is 2nd or 3rd game that literally 1 play lost it for us. The NCAA tourney is slipping away. Its not a bad loss @OSU but were now 6th in the Big 12 and I'm not sure we will beat Baylor this saturday.

Those refs need to lose there jobs. It's one thing to give the home team advantage, but to blatantly screw a team by not letting them shoot free throws or calling a foul 3 seconds after this supposed foul happens is another. ISU was screwed.

The over the back that OSU shot free throws to take the lead showed just as much possession as Babb had at end.

All I'm going to say is Hoiberg desperately needs to manage his timeouts better. Something I have been screaming about for 3 years!

They way the last 3 games have gone at stillwater makes me wonder if we will ever win down there. I can't believe how heartbreaking of losses they have been. I still can't believe we haven't won there since 88.

We are terrible at late game situations, but its hard to be good when you're getting ****ed by the refs.
How did we get ****ed by the refs? Yes, they took a hell of a lot of unnecessary time towards the end but I thought they did a much better job in the second half.
