Nah he's a lotto pick just ask draft specialist BUCANDOIT

Our offense is predictable, operates too far out, our passing has been poop, and shooting has been poor. We would be down 30 to a good team.

That was a terrible half capped off by the 129th Chip and Joanna Gaines mention/showcase….who gives a **** about our HGTV "celebrity" fans?

We'd have no hope of coming back in the 2nd half against a really good team. Luckily Ok State throws up some bricks from outside, so if we can just improve the transition D and finally start hitting some outside shots, there's a chance.
DanaDane

We're shooting 27% from the floor and 15% from 3 (2 of 13). Surely the law of probabilities comes into play in the 2nd half and we move more toward the mean?
DanaDane

Akinjo, Cryer and Flagler are a combined 2 of 15 from the floor.

Only down by 12… let's go!

Some of you need to find a team youcan support. Maybe someday we can get z decent coa h and the program can meet your expectations.

Btw what does CSD need to do to prove his ability to you?

CSD has got to reboot this team. The slide needs to stop. Get the right guys in the floor. MM needs to go back to 6th man role. Missing Sochan ain't the main problem.

As crappy as MM has played… he's our leading scorer. He has less TOs than KB per the box score.

He's over dribbling, no more threes off the bounce. He's not been strong with the ball.

No one on our team has more than 1 assist. That's unusual.

They unfairly gave Brown the TO on the horrendous pass that should have gone to Mayer.

I realize we don't have Sochan, but still , right now I can't wrap my head around the fact that we completely suffocated Villanova on the defensive end and yet the likes of OSU who is at best a borderline middle of the pack B12 team is carving up our man to man D like a Christmas turkey. Hope to see a steady dose of zone in the second half. I don't believe that's what we have to do to just give ourselves a prayer, but that's where we're at.

OU/TCU going to OT. Hill with layup with .2 left

Yes. Thought it was strange when it went up as a Brown TO.

Someone tell me why an 8-7 team is smashing the fyuck shyte out of a 15-1 Natty Champ on our floor? It is a simple question.


Our guards are 1-12.


Then they need to be slapped until they wake up.

For all of media generated hype around Brown......I'm sorry but IMO he really has not stood out in any game this season. Highlight reel dunks do not impress me, everyone can do those. And it seems those are the only things he's noted for for now.

He looks like a freshmen still growing into the college level game.

Ok. Goal 1 accomplished. Back to 10.


Next goal -- get it to single digits.
