Agree. I don't think I've ever felt so bad after a team , that WASN'T named Iowa State, lost a game , as I did after that one. Felt OU just plain deserved to win it. Thought I could just sit back and watch and enjoy, but found myself cheering at the TV toward the end and bummed when OU didn't win it. As for us, we don't have anyone that could have stayed on Hield one-on-one like Mason did last night, yet he still got 46. If KU avoids injury or some unforeseen slump, I don't see anyone keeping them from another conference title. Want to buy in that we could knock them off, but OU is a great team that played a great game, and KU still found a way to win.

Wow!! What a game! Every time it looked like one team might get a lead and hold it the other team responded. Hield made a good decision to come back because he has improved and is playing his way into the first round.
Or the two goaltending missed calls against buddyNice of someone to notice...since the refs didn't.
OU played a great game, but with better shot selection and less turnovers, that game doesn't go into overtime. We may not have A guy that could stay on Hield like Mason did last night, but as a team, we held him to half that.

one of the most fair officiated games I have seen at AFH. Yes, there were missed calls, bad calls and questionable calls. And all of those calls where spread throughout the game and evenly distributed to the teams.
Great game to watch, one of the best I can remember in 10-15 years.

Fair point, but he shot a better percentage against them than against us. One game sample sizes, of course, but it's hard to deduce that we can't cover him like they did based on the evidence we have so far.
Greene is kinda a mess on defense? Self really couldn't even play him because he's so bad. He got his ankles broken on a mediocre crossover and went flying.
Does anyone else think the sideline at Allen Fieldhouse is ridiculously skinny? Heild was standing as far back as he could to throw the ball in and the defender was basically touching him. There is about two feet at most between the sideline and the table.
I honestly thought the officials did a horrible job, but it went both ways and I dont think either team had an advantage. Hollywood Higgins is gonna Higgins.
I still think our Cyclones will be the best team in the conference at the end of the year. We have a new coach. He's still tinkering with the rotations and we still went into Norman and nearly pulled it out.
Nope. Still using MS-DOS here.
You may be on record as having no problem with booing. You are also on the record stating that Kansas fans don't boo.
Anyway, great game last night. Assuming things go as expected in the Big 12 tourney, the nine games between these 3 teams should be a real treat. A lot would have to fall correctly but it could even be 12 games this year. These 3 teams are pretty special.
I'm not sure that Vitale was correct when talking about the job that KU was doing on Hield last night. Just because the defender stuck with him for a couple of times late in the game when Hield was obviously gassed and barely moving without the ball doesn't mean that the defender stayed with him. Thomas didn't do too bad of a job on Hield.
Also, I have to agree about watching the game. I thought I could just sit back and enjoy but found myself rooting for OU every time they came back.
It seemed Frank Mason was able to stay on Hield a little tighter than Thomas, but I agree that Thomas didn't do a bad job at all on Hield. Our defensive scheme on Hield was different from KU's where we had Thomas guard Hield tight on the perimeter and had help defense come in if Hield had Thomas beat to the hoop. Buddy Hield is one of the toughest guys I have ever seen to defend.
I started watching halfway though second half. Spangler wasn't even setting good screens, made sticking to heild a little easier, IMO.
I'm trying to think, but he may be the best offensive player I can remember in the conference since Mitch Richmond?
