ISU vs. Mizzu postgame thread

On a sunnier note, Diante really matured tonight. He play the best game of his short career so far. Like the announcers said on the game, he is going to be a very good point guard in the future. To bad we lost, but they can take some things out of that game.

How about we just say ISU in general

we suck... but good game by Diante

2 or 3 dumb plays when the game was on the line and that's what happens.

DG had a GREAT game. Wes pulled a disappearing act.

And we got a GIFT a bit before that at the other end.

No a charge was called and it is never a shooting foul. Change of possession in a 1 possession game in double OT, inexcusible.:sad:

I was thinking the same thing.

The big question is why was Peterson bringing the ball up the court instead of Garrett on the flop posession? I just don't get it. This was a well officiated game with the exception of Mizzou and ISU's final posessions that counted.

ISUfan- they did not reverse the foul call, it was player control, therefore there were not any freethrows. The call still sucks!!

Hannah not playing helps to keep us close too

This is true but we also were basically mugged the last two minutes in regulation, Garrett in particular.

DG was a man among boys out there tonight - completely at another level. On the road in pressure situations - continuing to make plays for us.

We lose huge without him.

I really like our future now at the PG position with him. He's consistently been pretty good for us for a few weeks now. It's no accident or aberration - we're seeing what he can and will do.

Was it my imagination or did Haluska spend most of the 1st overtime on the bench?

0-7 on the road in Big 12 play, Ouch! Long ways to go to be competitive in this conference!

This loss hurts after being up by 12 in the second half. Had a period of time where Mizzou turned up the defensive pressure and our guys couldn't handle the full court press. That 5 minute stretch at about the 10 minute mark in the second half was what lost the game for us.
