    The official OU/ISU Postgame Thread

    Non bashing, but serious question about McDermott's Coaching tonight. Iowa State clearly had nobody that could guard Mason Griffin one on one. Several guys tried and all were clearly overmatched. So, why wouldn't he try something different? Every time the kid got the ball, run somebody at...

    ***Iowa State @ Oklahoma Game Thread***

    And that is this team in a nutshell. Let 24 seconds go off the shot clock, then foul, and foul their hottest shooter. Either McD is not coaching them up, or these guys have ZERO basketball IQ.

    ***Iowa State @ Oklahoma Game Thread***

    Iowa State screwed again on the block/charge double foul call. That is complete BS -- it HAS to be one or the other, or just don't call a foul on either player if the refs can not come to an agreement.

    ***Iowa State @ Oklahoma Game Thread***

    At halftime, Iowa State has more turnovers than field goals. Very impressive!!! Not even worth getting ****** off about it anymore.

    OU ISU Predictions

    So true. My pick for tomorrow night is Cade Davis. Shooting 31% from three on the season. He will hit 5-6 tomorrow night. But Warren will go off for about 30+. Gallon will probably have a big night as well. And if Gilstrap is not healthy, it could be ugly early.

    *Official* KU @ ISU Postgame Thread

    I think this team might finish worse than I thought. Looking at the remaining schedule, I see two, maybe three wins. Colorado at home, Nebraska at home --one of A&M, Mizzou or OSU. I think they will finish 11th or 12th in conference. I am at a loss as to what can be done. Have been a big...

    ISU vs Texas Tech predictions

    Tech 71 Clones 64 Two conference road wins in a row for the Clones? Just can't let myself get that carried away yet. :skeptical:

    Best game attended at Hilton?

    Good memory. I think you are right. I also believe that Skiles had just gotten busted for pot possession -- needless to say the Cyclone crowd wasn't too kind with that information. Believe every time he touched the ball the crowd chanted "jailbird." Those teams with Grayer, Hornacek and the...

    Best game attended at Hilton?

    Don't remember the year, but Okie State came to town as the number 2 ranked team in the country. Clones down 18 at half. Justus Thigpen got so hot in the second half.....crowd was crazy. Clones won in OT. Win over Scott Skiles led Michigan State team was another very good one. If I...

    *Offical ISU @ Nebraska Game Thread*

    They had a foul to give. Definitely should have fouled on the dribble and make Nebraska in-bound the ball again. I think McDermott even made that comment in his locker room talk. The debate is whether you foul again and send them to the line. I personally think it is risky and prefer to make...

    ISU vs Nebraska Predictions

    Agree with all of your points. Despite that, I think the Clones come out flat and lose 68-60. I think it will be a sloppy game. No rhythm to either offense. And I think 0-5 in conference is a very real possibility. If that happens, I will likely avoid this board for the remainder of the...

    There are several potential big wins in the Big 12 that could catapult the Clones into the tournament, starting with one tomorrow. That being said, I think it is highly unlikely that they make the NCAA tournament, not to mention the NIT. I said at the beginning of the season that 16-18 wins...

    Crossroads 2

    Why not the free throw area? He is a good enough passer that if the double team comes from there, he could hit cutters. It also would seem to allow Gilstrap more room to roam around the basket, as a lot of times he seems to have more of a mismatch in the post than Brackins. Does that hurt...

    GET PUMPED VIKING FANS!

    If Wade Phillips uses the same game plan against the Vikings as against the Eagles, then he is an idiot. Of course he won't. You don't think he has ever devised a game plan against a team that can throw and run? And, the Vikings without EJ Henderson in the middle lost quite a bit on the...

    Official Cowboys vs. Vikings rollcall.....

    Quite frankly, I think the Cowboys are better with Felix Jones and Tashard Choice getting the majority of the carries. Barber hasn't been right the whole season. Nice to have him as an option, but the running attack was great last night. Hope Romo can handle the pressure of playing in the...

    Expectations - Your thoughts.

    Devil's advocate. What is the progress you have seen this year? They lost at home to UNI and on a neutral court to Northwestern. Hammered on the road against Cal. I guess they have soundly beaten teams in their wins, so that could be some progress. But, quite honestly, a big part of my...

    2 Things can happen...

    I agree totally with this thought. And I am not in any way trying to say that McDermott needs to "tread carefully." Sometimes I wonder if he is tough enough. However, I still maintain that I don't care what has happened, a head coach should not be singling out any 19 your old kid to the media...

    2 Things can happen...

    Haven't actually heard McDermott's comments. That being said, if he even remotely singled out Colvin, I disagree with it. If he has a problem with Colvin on or off the court, he handles it in his office, behind closed doors. I don't even think he should call the kid out in front of his...
