He went for a steal when he should've stayed home. Ends up a dunk.

Ain't that the truth. They look like Kansas, who will hand us our @$$ come Saturday

Flagler with more than 50% of our points.
IowaBear

Honest question has Matt strung together multiple good games like 3-4? Honestly feels like 1 game he's great the next he's brutally bad

Flagler is the only one who apparently came to play tonight

We need to go up tempo. That seems to work best for us.

This is just not a very good team. Easily frustrated and thrown off their game.
Oso del lago

Haha MM with the assist on the osu dunk

Akinjo????

Absurd.

We can try but we're playing with 7 guys basically

Every time, he's horrible at last possession shots.

Up tempo? More like foot needs to go up some butts in the locker room.
IowaBear

They're just better then us period. We may win but they're better which is sad considering they're 13-13. In no way shape or form should okie st hang damm near 40 in one half. They're horrendous offensively
Big_Pumpin
How long do you want to ignore this user?
We suck. Akinjo couldn't take me off the dribble. MM is embarrassing. The whole team is lost on defense.

rileyroo
How long do you want to ignore this user?
So, we just dribble at half court and then start driving with 4 seconds left in the half. Brilliant.
Hotsauce

Flag unconscious.
Jack Bauer

Flagler keeping us in it almost on his own.
davesburgerbarn
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Akinjo seems to lay an egg almost every other game, especially in the first half of games
Baylorbear09
How long do you want to ignore this user?
But yet we run the same play with him at end of half possession and don't start the play with 5 or less left on clock.
IowaBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
That's James Akinjo for you.
BUAL
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I feel it in my gut (could be what I ate for dinner). We come out and kick their ass in the second half.

Correction: This is not last year's team. 3 guys getting paid, another on an NFL roster.
DanaDane

Flagler 6-7 from the field (86%)

Rest of the team: 6-24 from the field (25%)
Oso del lago

Somebody besides 10 needs to get hot.
IowaBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I wish I felt that. But I think they'll pull away and win by 15-20. We can't match their intensity and Akinjo and MM are no shows yet again.
BUAL
How long do you want to ignore this user?
James and Matt come out on fire.

If you had told me in December that Bonner and Turner were on the court, I'd assume we were up by 35 against whoever we were playing.

Had you told me in December we were going to get swept by the likes of a .500 Oklahoma State team that doesn't even have the motivation of post season to play for I would've told you you are out of your mind.
GruntTuff

Kansas should beat us by 20, but who knows??

Sochan and who else?? Flagler at 80%??

I might not start Akinjo and Mayer. Maybe teach them a lesson….or see if they spit the bit.

Time to find out.

We haven't seen it in a while but with a short bench and players with their hands on their knees; might want to go zone
