Looks like Nixon is a better 1 than 2. Who would have thunk.

I think the announcers alluded to this too, but ISU looks like a functioning basketball team. Like dudes are playing their roles and holding their **** together out there. Also, it’s fun to see Lewis get some run, dude deserves it.

Lewis deserves a little PT, but you can see why he’s been on the bench. Can’t believe he’s a Junior.

Im not sure I'm buying the argument that 70% of the butts that used to be in seats at OU and OSU games lost all interest in college basketball because of the Thunder.

If you look it seemed the trend started down when the Thunder moved to OKC. When the Thunder started making playoffs, and got Durant, OU basketball attendance took some sharp drops.

But I also think attendance in college hoops is down overall, so you might be right not just the NBA thing.

Does it look like half the guys don't know how to pass the ball in asafe location to their teammate? It is really odd. Seems like a fundamental skill to have , especially for the guards.
I think OU just has a decent scout on us, paired with the fact there are several guys adjusting to new roles tonight. It's a good thing shots are falling tonight

Has OSU ever filled GIA after they expanded. I remember that place holding about 9000 and it was always full.

I don't know but if there were an NBA team in Des Moines would people stop going to ISU games? I highly doubt it.

Just weird, really.

OU and OSU fans just suck. That is all.

If a pro football team made it to OKC, they woukd not have empty football stadiums. Bball has just been something to fill time (maybe) for their fans.

He hasn't been perfect but he's been very efficient on offense, and can only think of one moment where he looked awful on defense so far, getting isolated on their PG
