*** Official Oklahoma State vs #11 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[cyfanbr]

Had to watch the game on delay, but think part of our struggles lately is that Gabe has not been great offensively. Not saying he is the reason we are losing, but if he was playing closer to his average then I think we might have won today or at WV. Gabe’s stats for past few games.

Tonight 6 pts on 2/12 FGs
@WV 8pts on 1/6 FGs
KU 8pts on 3/7 FGs

Suddenly, the 7 vs 10 game on Wednesday night in Kansas City is frightening close and we don’t have the tie breaker over OkState.

OK, I am calling the shot here and now . . . . we beat KSU in the Rotten Apple . . . Little Apple . . . . Little *******. Whatever, that place is called.

I feel better about Austin than I did about Tech or tonight.

I HATE playing okie state. They just aren’t a good matchup. Obviously.

Just watching tonight, which ISU player had any kind of consistent advantage?

Either Grill or Gabe need to step up again down the stretch. Preferably both.

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

Gabe's good offensive start in Big 12 play is one of the reasons we were winning games. He has struggled lately as teams have taken him out of his rhythm and Grill has not responded well lately.

He hasn’t struggled, he has been invisible offensively the last two games. He can’t disappear, this team needs him to hunt his shot.

 

[dahliaclone]

Hope you are right (about the wins) but losses matter too. I think momentum also matters although not as much as it used to

Just for comparison. Wisconsin is “in” on most brackets.

They are 6-8 in and not great league with bad losses.

They have one win over a ranked team.

Their NET ranking ******* 73!!!!

We are fine.

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

It’s going to be so critical to get an explosive off guard after this season. Jaren has been mostly good, but we just don’t have guys that can get buckets on their own.

Teams knowing that Lipsey is zero threat from outside is killing us. He has to find that shot next year.

 

[dahliaclone]

Oh and fyi to all you hissyfitters. Texas tech is up five late against Kansas state.

This. League. Is. Brutal.

It looked like he did about all he could tonight to find anything and it just wouldn't go.

Bad vibes in Hilton tonight. Felt off all game. Flush it and move on.

Might have been a night to get a T. Can you challenge calls now? Why did we lose the timeout late in the game?

Tech was favored and at home.

 

[dahliaclone]

Tech was favored and at home.

I’m aware

 

[CascadiaClone]

I feel like ****

 

[Clonefan32]

Every year there are about 4 teams that don’t experience rough spells. Everyone else has to deal with losing streaks. It’s a long season in an impossibly hard league. They are exceeding expectations from preseason and still have pieces to make a run.

 

[Halincandenza]

That was a great defensive game plan by OSU and they are a really good defensive team.
Not sure though why they didn’t adjust to how OSU was guarding them

 

[Inthesystem]

I don’t think Grill is all the way back from his injury.

 

[awd4cy]

Not sure where you get the idea the crowd wasn’t into it. You clearly weren’t there

I was there. For 95% of the game they weren’t. I can’t blame the crowd. I wanted to gouge my eyes out.

 

[CyclonesRock]

For everyone on the ledge....remember, this is THE BEST LEAGUE IN THE COUNTRY, and it's not even close. The defending National Champ Kansas Jayhawks lost 3 straight not that long ago and prior to their win today had dropped 4 out of 5. We will be fine.
