The trends the last few years that have kept ISU from being consistently solid are not playing very strong defense, and having issues with blocking out for defensive rebounding.
I'm not quite sure how people keep thinking ISU is Final Four material, or are projecting things like 2-3 seeds before February, when these trends continue.
Those are the reasons that they're getting beat by OU right now.
Unless something drastically changes in the next 11 game minutes and the rest of these road games (plus some tougher games in Ames), ISU might be looking at 10-11 losses on the year. I would assume they make the tourney, but it's right back to the 8-10 seed range.

This. We're defending the first shot just fine. If we could just a single goddamn defensive rebound, we'd be winning by about 20 right now.
After the made three number 9 I said to myself "great now even if were cold were just gonna start jacking them" and here we are.
Man it would be nice to have Ejim to rebound
Defense and rebounding win on the road and neither have been good

DeJean Jones is one of the few guys on our team that isn't rebounding like a 3rd grade girl. He's the least of our problems this game.
