Seems like a game we should win, but not the way we're playing lately. Could be a get right game, but I'm not comfortable predicting that. WVU traveling for the 2nd time in 3 days, should at least tip the scales in our favor a bit. They are desperate for a win though. Beating us could punch their ticket to the dance. We are just trying to tread water at this point.
I put another 50 dollars against ISU. As much as it pains me to say it, I'm up 500 dollars betting against ISU during this stretch. And if we win, I'm glad to lose 50
Somehow, someway they need to figure out a way to make a basket. Not sure what happened with OU, but early in the game the Clones were getting a lot of great looks close in and just couldn't make them. Seems like they spent most of the second half chucking up 3s or off balance shots.
These guys need to relax and just play with their high energy and effort. Early year when there was no expectations, rankings, picked bottom of conference, they played loose and the results were positive. As the pressure has built, they've tensed and began to force things. Have some fun, play some ball, and kick their ass!
We aren't going to win a half-court slugfest, unfortunately. We need to generate offense off of steals/transition. Ramp up the defensive effort, get some easy ones to go and see if that loosens the lid on the basket.
