What happened to our pass and weave offense? Now it's just a bunch of dribbling with a weak screen and jack up a 3.

Get this to under 8 at the next TV timeout and we got a real shot

Critical possession here. OSU has countered our mini-runs to keep this a double digit lead. If we can force a miss and get this into single digits, the pressure will start to build on them.

Yeah - maybe we can cut it to a single digit loss if we're lucky.

Or maybe we go on a huge run, starts with the defense. Gotta be relentless on D the rest of the way

Hey Johnny...why don't you go marching home? We need positive energy here, not nervous nellie

No way we should lose this game, but stuff happens. Everyone including the coach needs to suck it up and realize todays effort doesn't even qualify for a sixteen seed. Even if they pull this off in the next 10 minutes their performance left a lot to be desired. And a home game.

Damn Flag cannot buy a basket.

This team is just to limited offensively. That and the guards are either on fire or ice cold there's no in between. That's a bad recipe for a jump shooting team.

Flagler & Akinjo -- 1 of 16 from the floor -- 3 points.
Add in Bonner and it's 1 of 18

Cryer - 5-11 with 4 3's for 14 points

Better ball movement last possession

Mayer's got 4 inches on the guy defending him. So naturally let's settle for the fade away baseline jumper

You could see that steal from ok st coming the entire time he brought the ball up.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Has limited self awareness anytime he's dribbling in the open court. I don't get it.

Find a way to win

Well he's the #1 pick in this summers draft…

Every baller runs the wolf drill from like 6th grade on, it's basically how you develop the instinct. Stay low, use body to shield. He's quite frequently straight up and just aloof

This! I knew after ISU this team could shoot but I always had that feeling of what happens when we go ice cold. Now I know.

He'd be good on last years team where he works his way into the line up. He's not a starter yet.

Double dribble?
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Akinjo must be in pretty bad pain and just not functional. He hasn't been in in 6 minutes.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
MAYER!!!!!!!!


Down to 3!!!!!!!!!!
DanaDane

ONE POINT GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
