Oklahoma State Post Game Thread

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.

Or mullets

For a mediocre game overall, it was pretty impressive the entire second half was basically double digits against a pretty decent OKS team (according to kenpom).

Up to 4th in Kenpom

Ain’t gonna win every game by 20. Good grinding win.

 

[Austin316]

We probably would be in OT with last years team… we won by 10 with the largest lead being 19.

A win against a B12 team by double-digits is a good win in my book. Albeit any win is a good win.

 

[MexicoHusky]

Good game. Our stars lead the way this time. Which is cool. It was looking like life and basketball would be a walk in the park for Clingan. Glad OKSt took it too him. He needed it.

 

[Yanksrock615]

Literally every team in the country takes their foot off the pedal when they have big lead, it’s human nature. They went on like a 20-0 run, we won by 10. Let’s all relax, this team is filthy.

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.

 

[BigFanCT]

Was there. Great team. Student section. Oof.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Can we finally put to bed the Jackson as point guard discussion? He's definitely our lead dog

There are folks on this board that will die on that hill. Guaranteed.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

We found a way to barely cover the 9pt line.

One constant is Vegas and the sharps always seem to get it right.

Now 8-1 ATS I believe.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Need Diarra to start eating into Alleyne’s minutes

 

[Yanksrock615]

Student section was bad?

 

[jibsey]

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.

Missed 11 free throws. If they don't get better it's gonna cost UCONN a game.

73% from the line is fine.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

We shot 24/33 (72.5%)?

Our previous 2 games, we shot 20/25 & 21/24. FTs are not really a valid concern.

 

[USNavyDog]

A game where having Samson Johnson would have been nice.

Will Sampson ever be back this year from his foot injury. Hopefully, we will return.

 

[Dove]

He's thinking future transfer portal lead

Post/Handle!!

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.

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

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.

 

[mauconnfan]

The three returnees carried the team tonight.
The transfers and freshmen weren’t ready for this level of competition…with the exception of Joey C.

Weren’t ready for this level of competition? OSU wasn’t as good as any of the teams they played against in Portland OR.

 

[mauconnfan]

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.
