I'm surprised we are only a 6 point favorite.

Any opinions?

Through almost first 7 minutes of first half, Jared Butler with no shots. Guess who is leading?
Self Made Bear

BS on that charging.

I really appreciate Vital & what he does for this team, but seriously, does anybody else in P5 b-ball miss more layups & point blank shots?
BluesBear

Patience. Just have some

Good lord what a terrible start on the offensive end.
BluesBear

We just aren't hitting the open shots. This isn't a good Cowboys team.
BluesBear

Keep them fresh coach. Bears down 4
Jacques Strap

Road games are hard. Just win!

At least as usual we're playing tough defense thus far.

Eh Vital gets a little out of control with his drives.
DanaDane

This is not a very good Ok State team. If someone takes the lid off our rim, we should blow them out.

The flop call is slowly and quietly being done away with.
Johnny Bear

0 fer from beyond the arc.
DanaDane

What are we shooting? About 25% from the field so far?
BellCountyBear

Good lord we can't hit a 3 today.
Jacques Strap

4/15
0/6 from 3
Illinois Bear

Can't throw the ball in the ocean so far, including point blank layups. Okie Lite not missing from 3.
HoustonBear15

Ok. State is playing some stifling defense and we don't have anyone besides Butler who can regularly create their own shot.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I always wonder why more teams don't play a 1-3--1 on us when Vital's in the game.
Johnny Bear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
11 points in 11:05 Minutes of play.
Jacques Strap
How long do you want to ignore this user?
OSU is 4/8 from 3
DanaDane

Butler! Finally
Johnny Bear

Finally a three from Butler

I bet we start seeing more of this extended zone. It really troubles us.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
So Ok State is shooting 50% from 3 and we're shooting 12%

I can hear the "overrated" chants warming up.

4-0 run for the Bears! It's a start.
DanaDane

Unless we start shooting more consistently to start games, I fear we are gonna be one of those #1, #2 or #3 seeds who could get knocked off early in the NCAA's by a hot shooting team that gets ahead. We can come back and recover against mediocre teams like this but we could shoot ourselves out of contention against a really good team.
Johnny Bear

OSU is clearly one of the two weakest teams in the B12 along with KSU. Lotta game left for us to snap out of it (especially on the offensive end) But this would be a terrible loss even given it's on the road if we don't.
