Curious to see how much energy we have this soon after taking on Texas.
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier

Energy level is a big concern and Stillwater is a tough play and OSU is coming off a loss. They will punch us in the mouth and we will have to respond or it will be another bad road loss like our Kansas games. Need both Flagler and Cryer to carry the offense with no Keyonte and need someone else to step up to pick up the slack, maybe Bridges can blow up again.

Bridges, Flo vs Boone and cisse likely decides this one. With George we had a HUGE advantage at the guard position, without him that advantage is much smaller. Bigs are gonna have to bring their big boy pants to this one against Boone and Cisse. They're a bad shooting team. Don't allow a ton of ORBs and limit our TOs and will have a chance to win this one

Funny thing is, that can also help us.

Even though they are home, the Cowboys have lost a tough game and have to play again right away.

Some teams are able to get their focus quick and play hard. Some let the loss beat them again.

If we come out ready tomorrow, we can take charge early and maybe that will produce our 11th win to start the week.

Cowboys had a nice run of like 6 straight but they're on a 4 game losing streak and aside from that nice run they've been rather bad this year. They have a ton of bad OOC loses as well. Not having Anderson is catching up to them. Doubt they'll have much of a crowd tomm either

This is a MUST win for them. Joey Brackets has them as last team in..Even West Virginia with a worse record is higher than them on Bracketology.

Good, let's ruin their post season dreams

OSU has had a very strong defense all season but over the past several games they've given up some huge point totals. 100 to TCU, 85 to WV, and 87 to KU.

I don't expect a big crowd, but our bench will have to step up and score some points.

We saw an attempt to play EJ and Josh O on the floor last week. Had to play zone but didn't go well. It will be interesting to see Bonner and EJ on the floor together and see how our defense looks in those stretches.

I'm hoping the tremendous game Bonner played last Saturday wasn't just some one time flash in the pan fluke as he's obviously needed now with KG out. I know it's unrealistic and unfair to expect that kind of game from him every time he steps on the floor, but on the other hand I also hope he doesn't immediately regress back to the TO prone non-scorer he has previously been when facing B12 level competition.

Is this game on espn? I have basic cable with spectrum and for some reason espn is not showing on my menu. I cancelled espn+ a few days ago but that should not affect the main espn channel. So I have espn2 but not espn. Crazy.

Yep, regular ole ESPN.
