Pickens has been dead for 4 years. That is a long leash or lease?

That was a huge play in the game. We were really struggling to get off good shots at that point and just a great look from Tre to BRE.
Throw Bill Self in there. Be nice to do whatever you wanted with immunity.
Houston plays their butt off on defense but so physical and ISU did a great job of forcing the contact and being aggressive and making the refs call the fouls.
They have some good shooters at guard but I don’t if that is enough offense for them to win the league
Also, have no idea how Dunn didn’t get a flagrant 2

No idea how Sampson has the gall to chalk this result up to officiating. That was one of the dirtiest/roughest teams I've ever seen us play. Maybe Cryer just had an off night and that made them look worse than they usually are but I wasn't impressed, without #21 hitting a bunch of long contested bailout threes that wouldn't have been a close game last night. I was more impressed with OU last weekend. This ain't the AAC.
If one of our players pulled an airborne player to the ground by the throat/mouth while playing at Houston or at Adidas Fieldhouse, pretty sure I know what the result would be. F*** that guy, f*** Houston, and f*** Kelvin Sampson, the lot of them.

His flyby handshakes after the game were not impressive
I’m still miffed by the refs not going to the monitor to see if it was a flagrant 2 or not. It looked dang nasty on TV. Every angle looked bad. Big Energy just calmly sank both FTs though.
What responses are due for someone who is picking apart the team on a night where they beat the #2 team in the country?
Did Sampson really blame the refs? Wow! His team is one of the most physical teams I have seen. It’s like Huggins old WVU teams. Push and grab until it’s called. And one of their guys should have gotten a flagrant 2
Welcome to the big boy basketball conference
With a team that really hadn't beaten anyone yet.
Now we just hope they hold on for Saturday but last night's game was a monster deal for this team and historically at Iowa State.
I put Self in a different category though. Yes, his recruiting tactics are sketchy at best. But ultimately he’s been very complimentary of other teams in the league and he doesn’t come off as an ******* on the court. I’ll take that over Sampson any day if I were other players or coaches in the league.
I actually kept pretty calm during the last few moments which is unusual even if I initially expected a loss.
Progress.
Cryer did have an off night but a lot of that credit goes to our defense on him. I disagree that OU looked better. Again, let’s see OU away from home against a true road team. Remember for how awful we played in Norman we still had a lead with under five to play. They are a good team for sure, but I don’t judge a team until I see them in a true road environment. Houston defensively was absolutely nasty, and their offense will be fine. Credit our defense to make them that uncomfortable.
When Big Rob had hit 4-4 and Tamin 3-7 (43%), I was worried that we were entering a different dimension.
Tamin was money down the stretch but I was worried we were leaving too many points on the table where we had a small margin of error.
Can we PLEASE hit more than 3 3's in a conference game??!!
OU imo is a tougher match up for ISU especially on the perimeter. They seemed to have more length.
ISU also wasn't very sharp either but OU played like they had something to prove too.
