*** Official Oklahoma vs #23 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[ZRF]

Yes. We overplay and start to chase the ball like a youth soccer team. If you can spread the floor and withstand the initial pressure there are lots of opportunities to get open shots against us. And everyone in the league shoots better than us which makes it a problem. We are the least skilled offensive team in the league.

They shoot better because there are a lot of open shots.

Do we even have a guy in double digit points???? Mercy, we can't score

 

[Inthesystem]

Predict the excuse. “Low talent level this is what you get.” ******* pathetic display in Hilton. Unacceptable.

You can’t kick a donkey in the ass and make it a racehorse.

The frustrating thing is that this team is playing bad in an unfixaable type of way. It’s not like we’re doing things schematically wrong, or just cold. Teams have been flat better than us for about a month now. I don’t want to hold it against their roster, but it feels like we got about as much out of this team as we could.

What’s the schematic? I can’t figure out what our offense is.

First half of the year we looked like the team who wanted it more every single time. That is not the case the last few weeks.

Hideous second half.

 

[Drew0311]

We are getting torched by a guy that averages 6 points a game. Groves isn't even that good. Holmes has completely lost his game.

 

[ZRF]

Quit bodying guys. Jesus ******* Christ I'm tired of that.

You can when you’re racing against another donkey like Oklahoma

 

[cyclones500]

Gotta get something rolling, get some turnovers and quick points, get the crowd into it.

 

[jspeels]

Yes, we aren’t playing well…but the bail out OU foul call is ridiculous!

 

[ZRF]

Maybe the best play Holmes has had all game. Great Hussle

 

[Old87]

How many more missed attempts of our guards driving into the paint do we need to see before we change the game plan?

 

[CYEATHAWK]

They have scored 23 points since being up 14-3 early in the game..............against 3-12 OU.

 

[SCarolinaCy]

Nice cut by Grill. He needs to be able to finish.

Players put too much energy into driving the basket with nothing left when they get to the basket.

 

[cyfanbr]

Gabe has been shooting some terrible shots. Keep the ball moving…

You can’t kick a donkey in the ass and make it a racehorse.

But you can teach a donkey to do more than pooping all over your yard...

 

[fsanford]

What is wrong with Holmes? Just an embarrassing mental and physical collapse.

TJ has a short bench and even with big leads he does not spread out minutes which can be frustrating

 

[Prone2Clone]

Not enough time for this team to come back, I'm afraid.

 

[Bubbahotep]

The team on the court has no chance of coming back, they are mentally gone.
