*** Official Oklahoma State vs #11 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

We’re gonna lose to TCU no matter what. Probably by 20.

You’re my favorite cliffdweller.

 

[Walden4Prez]

What do you think should have happened? Make OSU smaller?

Yeah, that was the problem.

 

[exCYtable]

This team is gassed. We're hitting the front end of A LOT of free throws.
We're gassed.

If we are gonna slump, slump now and regroup for a late February/March run.

 

[CapnCy]

Lipsey needs to call a "players only" meeting

(But seriously, after today, folks need to get some of his composure)

 

[ISUChippewa]

We are soft. We are so freaking soft. Caleb Grill has lost his mind.

He was f*cking terrible today. So was Gabe. Just inexcusable.

 

[dahliaclone]

One more win is probably a tourney lock but find me a game where you're comfortable with that happening even before tonight.

Oklahoma.

 

[Marcelason78]

Two games now where Caleb lost his cool. Gotta get that out of his game.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Are we going to play our way out of making the tournament? This team can’t do anything right anymore. I don’t have any confidence in these guys anymore.

Okay calm the hell down

 

[CycloneJoe6]

I’m trying not to go full meltdown…. But my mind can’t help but think we may only have 2 wins left on the schedule

 

[Raiders70]

TCU and Iowa State both struggling right now. Not sure what to expect on Wednesday.

 

[madguy30]

We lost at home to a very average OSU team without their best player. We're just a little bit above average team now. Tired physically AND definitely mentally.

Btw... that was easily a charge on Holmes... you can't be stupid like that.

OSU is a good team and ISU is average talent playing largely above their weight.

Much better teams have lost to much worse teams at home all season and most years.

 

[RezClone]

I shouldn't be this upset. It was always going to be too much to ask for a special season. It was never gonna be 2000.

But I'm really bummed its probably gonna be a lot closer to peak Prohm ball 2018-2019, 9-9 conference

 

[CySmurf]

See a f***ing psychologist for our free-throw shooting woes. Damn.

 

[Darius Bieber]

All of our remaining road games are against Top 20 teams (KState, Texas, Baylor). Given our road woes, those are all losses.

We have TCU, WVU and Oklahoma at home. We need to win all three to still get a tournament spot…

 

[helechopper]

Scoring. Fouling. Free throws.

We suck ass at all 3 lately.

We’ll find our center again, but it seems the team has peaked too early.

 

[Die4Cy]

The boys look tired and unfocused. I still can't believe Grill coming unraveled like he did the last two games, it isn't like him at all. The Big 12 is a grind and it is chewing us up a bit at the moment.

 

[Thomasrickj]

Okay calm the hell down

Well, considering we can’t do anything on offense and can’t win at home, we are falling apart. I think TCU murders us next week and then we lose on the road next Saturday.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

You think that's it? It's not the bad turnovers, streaky shooters going bad or the defense getting worn down?

It's all of it. But the refs worked us over in Morgantown and calls favored Oklahoma St today for a home game. Not the only reasons we lost either game, but the days of letting the refs walk all over us need to be over with

 

[dahliaclone]

This was a horrible game. No doubt.

But to all you wallflowers that come here after a loss having hissyfits we aren’t missing the tournament.

 

[IcSyU]

This is the team we thought they were. Opportunity lost but .500 in conference play with this roster is a borderline miracle, especially with how stacked this conference is.
