I remember Buzz's first year. We sucked in nonconference play - but I think we started to get things together in conference play to end up better than .500.

Maybe we will see something similar here (fingers crossed)

Will check back once football season wraps up.

Gig'em!
you are sad. That team lost to Fairfield and Harvard. This Oklahoma State team had the best portal class in the Big 12 according to On3.

These last few minutes have been a lot better

The Good News: We won't meet a lot of teams like OSU this year with a high octane offense, good at turning TOs into points with a good transition game.

The Bad News: The film is out on how to beat us. Easily.

Okie Lite looks like the most underrated Big 12 team to me. They will be a tourney team IMO

The announcers saying we struggle man to man is odd that shouldn't be the case for any decent basketball team. I wonder why that is

Isaacs just has to be better than he's been in this game.

Its also a different time. The portal wasn't a thing then. You only got what you inherited and high school kids you brought. That's why rebuilds that took several years were an actual thing

We aren't anywhere close to as bad as that team was in non-con. That said if you pay for as much transfer talent as we did with proven D1 hoopers you have to at least somewhat produce. It's one game but this team has a LONG easy to go

Agee also needs to play better and whine less.

We just don't have very many good individual defenders. Been saying since before the season started that this team is probably going to be pretty bad defensively.

Hasn't been particularly good in any of the three games. I have faith he'll start to figure it out as time goes on. Just no shot in a game like this with him playing so poorly though.

Yeah it's not a huge deal yet, he's working his way back from a long time off and he's a rhythm player anyway kinda like Taylor so he's gonna have bad games but this has been terrible.

These officials have an awfully high opinion of themselves. Feels like the whole 2nd half they are in the players' ears telling them why they made a call that isn't consistently called most of the year. You want to be an instructor, then get into coaching. I'm not even contesting the calls, but reeks of high and mighty to me. They even entered Ok State's huddle before last TV timeout to talk to a player.

It's Pat Adams, telling players what to do is his favorite thing in the world

Great hustle by Holloway.

My favorite player, it's official

Griffen has also been awful, just not as dramatically as Isaacs.

Also, what little I've seen of this game, we don't have a glass cleaner. We jack the three and everyone is standing around watching to see if we make it.

We keep allowing layups and uncontested 3's

Open layup after open layup. Bad rebounds.

Bucky Ball worked against inferior opponents. Going to be tough against SEC teams SMH

I do think this team needs some time to gel and we'll have to figure out which groupings of players can be successful together, but I'm a little disappointed in the lack of basketball instincts in passing/receiving of the ball and spacing during rebounding. Those feel like areas that a team with lots of college experience should not be lacking in.

This game couldn't be more opposite to what we've been watching the last few years.... Except for the shooting percentage. Very used to that piece.

Hill and Holloway shouldn't be in the game together.

We play no half court defense. When we don't shoot lights out and score 90+ we won't have a chance in any game if this is the effort we bring defensively

We have a lot of experience but none of it together and we're playing a different kind of ball. It's just going to take time to get used to each other at game speed. No amount of practice can simulate it.

I'm not trying to just completely write this off but I'm not surprised at all that this game isn't close.

A game that will tell us a lot more is UCF on Friday.

The transition and inside defenses have been disappointing.

UCF has a terrible defense...so we have that going for us.

We probably won't be underwater by 6-7 on TOs and about -14+ on points off TOs.

Thank God I decided to run errands instead of watch this train wreck. A great football team makes this an easier pill to swallow.
