Who the hell drafted the big guy 33rd? He is so raw and I see no areas that he excels in.

He's been excellent defensively and is a good rebounder. He just has no offensive game yet.

He's also clearly working himself into game shape.

Need to somehow seize the momentum back before they cut it to single digits.

Our offense has stagnated badly. We better wake our asses up or this is going to get too close for comfort.

We responded pretty well after OSU cut it to 11. Need to finish strong, though.

Can't be missing dunks. That was a five-point swing.

Oklahoma State isn't good enough defensively to complete this comeback. They have to gamble and it's giving us easy runs to the rim.

We give this lead up, and to a pitiful Cowboy team, Drew needs to have them run gassers at Iba Arena before boarding the plane.

It's never gotten under 10. We've done a pretty good job of answering their runs.

Get this 13 point lead to under 2:00, I'll be more confident.

Hell of an effort by the good guys tonight. This was a big, much-needed victory if we hope to do anything this season.

Welp, at least that 0-6 or 0-7 conference start isn't going to happen.

Powell was better tonight. There will be matchups where Nnaji will be needed, but he really wasn't against Oklahoma State.

He's the project big we added late in the recruiting cycle. One of three freshmen redshirting this season.

The difference?

First 3 conference games, Agbim and Rataj never scored in double figures both averaging around 6 a game.

Tonight? Agbim with 15 and Rataj with 19. They delivered what they were brought here to do.

(Williams unexpected production helped too)

Yessefou finally played well as well. Everybody we need to play well to meet our potential played well tonight. It was just an all-around solid team effort.

Agreed. First complete team game in quite awhile. If this had shown up in Fort Worth, we'd be 2-2, which is about where we should be after those 4 opponents.

If anything like this had shown up against ISU, that would've been a W also as ISU was very beatable that game had we not been horrific from both the field (including a lot of missed layups) and the FT line as well.
