*** Official #25 IOWA STATE vs Oklahoma Game(Day) Thread ***

Calls were still rough, but at least possible to play through this year. 17-0 free throw disparity with a minute left last year.

The Sooners can't get OUt soon enough! For my liking.

 

[alarson]

That's brutal. Have fun in the SEC, OU.

Even if that many actually showed up it'd be atrocious

 

[HoustonClone]

Lipsey is our best player right now and I don't think it's close. Other players might have better moments of play but I don't think anyone else consistently performs at the level he has this year. I'm curious what other people think though.

He's consistent, opportunistic, and seems like he makes the other guys play within themselves. Kind of a glue guy and he keeps getting better.

 

[HFCS]

Sure but missing the one on Gabe’s shot is completely inexcusable. We can’t be this fan base who complains about officiating all of the time and then not acknowledge when we finally get some love from them. We would have been going livid, and rightly so, if that happened to us. That was KU in Phog Allen type of stuff.

That was a break. Not the same level as 17 free throws to zero free throws like @ou last year, but a break. The side of the backboard call wasn’t any worse than last game when they called Grill out of bounds and his foot was 2 feet from the line.

Meanwhile I'm watching Baylor destroy TCU in Waco and am thinking 'how is this the same team...these guys look awesome'. Our defense really messes teams up. And I know that they have one of their starts back tonight which obviously helps.

Big 12 basketball is some straight rugged ****.

Looks like if you can limit TCU from running you have a chance.

Honestly, Gabe starting rather than coming off the bench has seemed to make a difference. I know it’s only been a couple games, but we really haven’t had Gabe do well 2 games in a row

Uh, you watching Grill at all?

Four year reducer of my stress like Monte hopefully.

Idk if anyone has mentioned this…but LMAO

Honestly that seems generous based on the views I saw of the crowd

Caleb would like a word with you.

Glad noone was hurt on that.

Then. HAhahaahahaaha!

Are you saying Gabe didn't do well tonight?

 

[Cyclonepride]

He was visibly frustrated/pouting quite a bit.

Yeah, he was basically pushing Gabe off and drew a foul on Gabe as he pushed back.

My point is across a game with hundreds of plays, more than one will be missed and more than one can affect the outcome of the game. I complained about none of the missed calls

 

[singsing]

While I think Jones does some good things for the team, I hope we see Osun turning a corner and playing 20mins a game.

More King too

 

[ForbinsAscynt]

I got busy at work and missed the game! Hopefully espn puts up the replay

 

[dahliaclone]

JFC I just remembered we have won these two huge games without Jaz!

You'll enjoy it much more knowing the end result. I was a pacing motherfuckerr the last 5 minutes.

 

[Gary_ISU]

Well I would too if I missed by 5 degrees. You sure the guy didn’t get a pinky on it?

There was no up close replay of the ball leaving Gabe’s hands just replays of the ball hitting behind the backboard. In real time, it didn’t look like a block. Cortes was running at Gabe with his hand up but I don’t think got ball.

 

[Acer88]

Wasn’t it a lower body thing? I remember him leaving a game and riding on a bike in the tunnel most of the second half.

He turned an ankle
