Quick postgame notes to ISU's 82-76 loss to Oklahoma

**ChrisMWilliams** · 01-29-2011, 10:46 PM

Some quick notes before I head over to Es Tas for the postgame show that will begin shortly on 1460 KXNO and kxno.com. Call in and talk about the loss at 866-333-5966.

- Iowa State out-rebounded Oklahoma by 11 in the loss. Clones were 5-of-24 from 3-point range. Ejim led the way with 19 and 12.

- Earlier this week, I wrote that OU didn't have a player capable of going off like Mike Singletary did for Texas Tech. Steven Pledger's 38 points put a big foot in my mouth. Props to that guy.

- Tommy Mason-Griffin ironically dropped 38 on the Clones last season.

- Remember that OU led Iowa State 14-3 with 15:16 to go in the first half.

- Iowa State is 9-of-45 from 3-point range over its last two games.

Hoiberg on the team's tough start -- “It is beyond me why we come out and dig ourselves a hole like this.”

**ChrisMWilliams** · 01-29-2011, 10:57 PM

Hoiberg says he will evaluate the future of the starting lineup over the next few days.

**Psyclone Brian** · 01-29-2011, 11:07 PM

...does he have a comment about how next years team might respond?

**gocubs2118** · 01-29-2011, 11:08 PM

Did he say anything about Melvin's body language?

Does Coach have any comment on end of half play-calling? Or any explanation for offensive implosion during these times?

Shouldn't the Head coach at lease have a cue?

Hoiberg: "**** it all"

Yes, for the love of God someone at the post-game press conference ask how it is possible to lose 3 conference games in identical fashion. We need to try something different, there must be someone on the team who knows how to lob up a shot before the backboard turns red.

For one night, that was just soul-crushing. There really is no excuse for that one.

...well figure it out coach! ...because for what it's worth, you only need 2 more wins to be eligible for post season NIT.

Can people PLEASE just stay in their seats at the end of games instead of going down and standing along the rail. I feel like it creates some bad mojo.

That was hilarious watching all those people sit there in the concourse trying to decide if they were going to be a real fan and go back to there seats, or stand in the concourse during overtime and deprive our team of the support they needed. Way to go fans!!!
