Its going to be so nice to have people that can check him. Massively Overperforms when he plays against ISU. Shutting him down would be 1A in my defensive game plan. Don’t let him face the basket.

Good idea for strategy -- but seems un-Likekele.
Not a must win, we can lose and still be fine for tourney hopes.
Might be a must win for confidence though.
Hope they play pissed off

I was surprised/dismayed when I noticed Likekele is a junior. One of those guys that seems like has been around forever. And he could play 2 more years still
As brutal as the TCU and TTU games were, I still love watching this team. I'm not sure what they outcome is going to be, but they are going to play their asses off.
They need to be like TTU at Lubbock and just make the decision that they are going to relentlessly attack the rim for 40 minutes. If that means some TOs and offensive fouls, so be it.

I feel like one of them, ANY of them, is due for a big game.
I'm probably reading too much into it, but seems like since Kunc got slapped with the flop warnings, he's been tentative, hesitant -- I realize that came on D and shouldn't affect offense, maybe there's bleed-over in his intensity.
Probably means they rally together with him out and play extra hard and physical. This one is gonna be ugly
Agree, OSU has good bigs who block shots so I don't think we get anything inside so unless we got 2 or 3 guys knocking down outside shots we lose. Also, not a must win since it's on the road but a few weeks ago it looked like a win.
Earlier in the season they were much easier to watch but now the offense is so hard to watch and the fact we've not made many (if any) changes to the offense is disappointing.
I was hoping for an evolution with a bunch of back cutting to open up space on the outside, but that hasn’t happened.
I’m reluctant to get upset with the offensive strategy as of today. We’re barely into the conference season and our offense has only really been ineffective in 3 games, TTU 2x and TCU. We beat TTU one of those times.
The TCU game we just shot SO poorly that it’s hard for me to simply single out the offense as something that needs to be thrown out.
This is something that I’d like to see. I’m okay with our actions, but we have to attack more out of it.
Also taking care of the basketball will be an issue no matter what offense we run.
Vegas has the points and score right, they just have the teams backwards.
