Speaking of Oklahoma State, did anyone catch the wrestler AJ Ferrari last night? 197 pounder. Total stud wrestler, but he’s a freshman and thinks he’s a pro wrestler because he’s always smack talking, posing, flexing his enormous biceps, etc. There’s an all time great heavyweight right now from Minnesota who is actually named Gable Dan Stevenson. This freshman just said “Next year I’m moving up to heavyweight so I can beat you”.
-
Cade is not playing to his strengths. He’s a jumbo PG, not a guy you want playing hero ball. Neutralizes his biggest strength.
-
This is just awful basketball by the way. Cade Cunningham is the top pick in the draft but can’t score against Oregon St.? LOL, some dude just shot an airball. His shooting form looked worse than my shot.
-
28% shooting for Oklahoma St. Not going to beat anyone doing that. Maybe Texas.
-
And the Big 12 goes 0-for-3 on the day. Meanwhile, the much-maligned Pac-12 is 6 and 0.
Hope we can do something about that tomorrow against USC.
-
@wissox yep, knock on Cade has always been he’s a streaky shooter. Crazy effort from Oregon State too. Hats off to the beavers of Tinkle.
I can’t help myself
-
Wayne Tinkle wins in Hinkle.
-
@nwhawkfan PHOF!!
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich oklahoma?
-
@approxinfinity Just meant from yesterday’s games. Oklahoma had a good effort against Missouri for sure.
-
Early impression of the Oregon/Iowa game. Race to 100
-
Iowa in 10 words or less. 4 jump shooters around 1 space eating big
-
Oregon has a 6’6 guy playing the 5. Insane to think that works
-
If you’re in the P12 conference, apparently everything works.
-
Other thoughts, Oregon likes to Dunk. It helps when Iowa can’t defend anything. Their 5 is a matchup problem due to his inside/out ability but Dave would have 4/5 inches on him. He’s basically Marcus Garrett height with 30 pounds.
-
Garza already has 12 points, he’s on pace for about 50. We’ll see if he can keep that up or if the speed of the game is going to wear him out.
-
He’s the entire offense other then some guys making open 3’s. Been Iowa all year
-
Hot Take: Chris Duarte will be drafted before Luke Garza
-
Exciting game. 70 points scored in 13 minutes. Both of these teams are bad matchups for KU
-
@BeddieKU23 Iowa in 10 words or less. No Sweet 16’s this century. Whiny Brat coach.
-
Garza has 20. there’s 4 minutes remaining in the first half
-
I was hoping to bait you into commenting
-
This is an offensive clinic. 44-44 with 2 to go before half
-
@BeddieKU23 does either team even have a defensive game plan?
-
The best defense is a good offense sort of game plan for both teams.
-
Iowa is just hoping they go cold from outside. Their zone is awful
-
None, Self would have already quit if we ever played defense like both of these teams
-
Some Iowa players were saying seriously that they were the best defensive team in the country before the tournament started. How’s that going right now?
-
Talk about blowing smoke up their own
-
Their man was even worse tbh
-
Can’t remember the last time I saw a half with 102 pts total
-
Hot Take: Iowa couldn’t guard me and 4 other bucketeers
-
There is no one on the floor that Garza can guard. That is really killing them. Also, when you make everything you look really good. This is the first time I have watched Oregon at all and they look damn good.
-
A charge was taken. Defense can now go away
-
Only 24 points scored in the 2nd half so far in 6 minutes. Or about KU’s average for the first half in 20
-
Thinking ahead if KU were to play Oregon. Marcus Garrett guards Omoruyi. Would be an absolute waste of time to put Dave on him. He’s George Niang with athleticism
-
Hot Take: Iowa as a #2 seed was the worst seeding in the entire tournament
-
Agreed. I picked them to lose to GCU. And I had Oregon going to the S16.
-
BIG Embarrassment, but I don’t mind Iowa losing. The worry is that the PAC12 is feeling all high and mighty and USC is very confident now.
-
So now we have the chance to take down two Pac-12 schools in a row. Not mention avenging the 2017 tourney loss to the Ducks.
First things first though…gotta get past the Trojans.
-
Garza was always going to get his points. The key was to stop everyone else.
Oregon D held three of their starters scoreless.
-
Well I’ll say this Oregon couldn’t possibly score like this again.
-
@nwhawkfan In the BIG tournament Wisconsin let Luka score almost at will and hung in there. Iowa only pulled away when some of the others started scoring.
-
well guessed I missed it. - -So what I’m seeing or at least sounding like is – -Illinois AND Iowa both lost yesterday?
-
One of my favorite KU games was in the Elite 8 in 2002 we played Oregon and just steam rolled them. Aaron Miles was flying all over. Oregon had Luke Recker (?) who was their big star, but we had some quality and depth on that team. Just a great game.
-
Ya I know very early but Reaves just going off for Oklahoma
-
OU delivering the best defense Gonzaga has seen all season.
-
If OU wants ANY CHANCE - -ANY CHANCE at all they can’t afford going in at half any further down then like 7 at most I would think
-
@bskeet And…water finds its level.
-
OU was took to the woodshed just as everyone else that has trying to beat them.
