Oklahoma State Post Game Thread

They aren't going to win them all by 20. Karaban probably needs a transfusion. We got nothing out of Alleyne or Diarra. Very little out of Clingan or Newton and still won by 10. Jackson with a great floor game again. Take the W. This is a good team with answers.

We milked a 19 point lead burning clock. Need to relax a bit. Karaban and Clingan are still learning. The one thing is that there probably will be losses and we have to be realistic about this team. Lots of talent out there and they’re not gonna lay down for us.

Sanogo passing...why does he insist on holding onto the ball when other players are wide open? I counted at least 5 times where he should have passed out but either turned it over or took a terrible shot.

He's gotta look at other players sometimes.

I'll take the 10 point win but this easily could have been 15+.

BTW....0 assists for the big guy.

It's still clearly a problem for him, something that needs to be fixed.
 
Hurley seems to want to practice running clock at the end of games and I’m not mad at it. We’ll need it eventually. Definitely something to work on.

Great we get to have in game practice like this against really good teams. Okie State played great today.

Sanogo good first half, just as awful 2nd half both ends. Black hole needs to change its painful to watch him dribble more than once and forget he has teammates.

He’s getting better but regressed in 2nd half. Karaban was open for layups at least twice.

Overall Sanogo played well.
 
Tonight was just more proof that as a team they can get it done. We have a talented team with not just depth but breadth of skill. Was tonight their best game, maybe not but it was still a convincing win that I was never concerned about.

I think that was our C+ game.

The second half was not very good but it was never in doubt.

To me that looked like a double digit win over a power conference team that will almost certainly be in the tournament. They played probably a C+ game and there was never a second where I didn’t think they’d win. I’ll take it.

That was my exact thought - we played our C+ game and still won by 10 without the game ever being in question against a quality B12 team.

Gives them a lot to work on, but still moving up.

I am confused about the announcers for tonight‘s game. They were discussing basketball and the game itself. Shouldn’t they have been talking about trees, or rivers, or concerts? So weird.

Only in the Pacific Northwest does that happen with a certain announcer.

I think the next step for this team is what JC would refer to as developing their killer instict. He often said one of the hardest things for a team to learn is to not take your foot off a team's neck when you have them down. Even in Portland, they let teams back in and sooner or later that will bite you if you keep doing it. Just thias long as it's in a regular season game and not a tourny game, I think we all could live with that.
Still, after their performance in the PKI, I don't think many would have been surprised by a little bit of a let down. They were a little flat at times, but still, they ground out a win... against a pretty good team.
