Goerges was huge today. Once we have the depth to allow him to rebound he could be an AA caliber player.
Noone else on this team I would rather have shoot that shot. Niang is as clutch a player I ever remember seeing.
Yeah I would actually argue that this was DeAndre's worst game as a Cyclone..the fact that he still contributed with 9 assists is great even though he really struggled with the rest of his offensive game.
Lots of butthurt on Boomer's board about the loss. One poster claimed that OU is clearly the better team on a neutral court. +5 point game in Norman, -6 point game in Ames. Don't understand how that makes OU "clearly the better team on a neutral court".
Yeah, there's no way Kane only had one turnover in this game. I can remember probably at least 3 times today where he bull rushed down the lane and either lost the ball or got rejected. I don't know how they determine turnovers, but he cost us on quite a few possessions today.
We still need him big time though, so I hope he can keep his head up and not get too down on himself. He looked lifeless on the bench today, which is understandable somewhat since he was having a poor night and he wanted to be on the floor, but he's got to support his teammates and keep his head up.
...was watching the game solo, and asked 'Why?' as soon as he squared up. I still don't like it, but was glad it went in.
In other news...what kinds of ISU accolades does Ejim get if he hits 1,000 rebounds (it's mathematically possible), along with the way his stats have been his last two years of a 4 year career that also included great academics?
We should have swept OU. Give credit to Kruger though, he gets those guys to play harder and own us on the boards.
Ejim is definitely going to be hard to replace. He just does it all for us. Plus he's a great guy and student as well.
I'm hoping Nader can be our "Ejim" next year.
I find myself scratching my head a lot while watching BIG12 games. It seems like every 5 minutes the game is being called a different way. I enjoyed watching the first 10 minutes of that game, refs allowed them to play.
On a positive note, good win and lets best OSU on Monday night!

This made me chuckle on Georges' last three pointer:
Jeff Borzello @jeffborzello
22 seconds on the shot clock, one minute left, Iowa State up by three -- and Georges Niang launches a 22-footer. Swish.
By the way, Borzello covers college basketball for CBS Sports.

Of course I'm happy with the win, that's probably why I said I was.
But I'm looking to the future and the potential that this team has this year to make some noise in the tourney. And if they want to do that, then they need to clean some things up, that's all.
I said it was a great win against a very good OU team. But it's already time to move on from that. If you are content with sloppy play down the stretch, then so be it, but I'm not, and I'm sure Fred probably isn't either.
Best take away from today I saw was Matt Thomas remembering how to dribble. Either moving it up floor or taking it to the hoop. Combine that with improved shooting and he becomes very dangerous down the stretch.
