OFFICIAL: Iowa State @ Oklahoma State Game(day) Thread

Can't tell what happened because it froze up, but all I can say is a smart basketball doesn't play like there's a 5 second shot clock when they're up 9 in the 2nd half on the road.

Even in wins, this team relies too much on the (extremely quick) 3 as it is. WAY too much. It's pretty frustrating too watch.

I agree, or just in general. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Will Clyburn too on the last possession....we could have taken the clock down to about 10 seconds left but he decided to shoot it with 25 seconds when there was barely an offense set up.

Refs did a **** job, but we could have won the game even so.

They were in the double bonus at that point. We were not. When you're not in the bonus you need to be in shooting position to shoot free throws. They said Babb didn't have posession of the ball, therefore wasn't in shooting position, and we didn't have enough fouls at that point to be in the bonus. It was a good reversal honestly, but how badly we got jobbed it would have been nice to finally get one our way...

Shouldn't that foul have been the 7th and put us into the bonus?

We were in the bonus.

Team is really talented but just can't close out games...frustrating.

So the foul to put them into the bonus cannot be a player control is what you are saying?

Ejim's little give away under their basket didn't help matters any.

He was hacked across the ******* arm. Derpy derp derp.

 

[marothisu]

We blew plenty of opportunities and should have played better defense. But the play of the game was when we were up by 4 and Ejim made that monster block, only to have an OSU player role into him undercutting him, at which time the ref decided it was Ejim fault that he landed on the guy. It gave OSU the ball back for foul shots and kept them within scoring distance.

Again, we really ****** that game away, but the refs were terrible again down the stretch.

No kidding. I don't know what that foul was...Ejim blocked and fell on another guy and they called a foul on him for merely landing on a player who slid in after ejim was already in the air. I don't know what universe that's a foul in...it's a no call. Absolutely insane.

 

[Cy Hard]

This guy won the game tonight.

 

[UraMallas]

Honestly, I wouldn't want that kind of win

Why can't that ever happen at Hilton. So he didn't have possession, but you can't change the call 2 minutes later. Come out and beat Baylor and don't get 15+ TO's...

Honestly, I wouldn't want that kind of win.

 

[Cychl82]

Between the foul called on ejim after the block...then a loose ball foul called but then they called it player control foul...this was the biggest load of bull I've seen in a real long time. That was absolutely unreal

 

[clonedude]

Will we ever get that kind of home cooking? I mean it's OSU for ******'s sake...

Not with Fred as our coach. Nothing against Fred, but I swear the Big 12 officials know that Fred won't complain about anything, so they screw him over. And I'm serious about that.

It's too late when there's only 2 secs left in the game to get upset about the refs screwing your guys over. Fred is just not going to get any calls with his laid back attitude. Refs know he won't get upset and the other coach will.

 

[HouClone]

They won on their court, we'll get them on ours. We have a tough schedule and will be close to make the NCAA tourney. We've got a great home court though, thanks to our fans.

I think God hates me. I'm an ISU fan and a Minnesota sports fan. I'll die at 60 from a weak, broken heart.

 

[CychoCyclone]

I feel dirty, like I just got f**ked in the a*s.....

 

[MIClone]

The foul on Babb was the 7th foul, which put us in the Bonus. I don't understand why we weren't shooting. It wasn't a charge. It was more like a foul on a rebound, as others have pointed out.

Hoiberg complains plenty when he knows the call is ****. Did you not see him on the push tyrus got? He was furious. Did you not see him about taking away the FTs from Babb and also about the clock?

Yup, he needs to stand up tonight and speak. MAN UP FRED.

 

[Sloup]

The Cowboys got away with so much reaching tonight. Couldn't believe it when they showed they only had 5 fouls going into the final seconds of the game.
