OSU hasn’t beaten TCU in Fort Worth since 2017.

Need this one bad with ISU coming to GIA pissed off this weekend.

Agree. And preferably drama free, lol, but it is on the road so I’ll take anything. I can’t remember the stat but has it been a couple seasons since we’ve had a Big 12 road win?

I have hopes that we can finish January 4-4 in conference.

I’ll take the team that plays better defense.

We are past due for a conference road win and for a win in Fort Worth. But remember Horned Frogs are not Frogs. Don’t let them deceive you, They are Lizards! Not Amphibians, Reptiles! They are Frauds and we need to expose them for who they are.

Jamie Dixon’s teams generally play a high level of defense. This will be a case of their good defense against our good offense and our “less than good” defense against a lesser offense.

I often wonder would have happened if Dixon had taken the job at OSU way back when he interviewed for it, I believe when Ford was hired.

This post is gold. Great lizard analysis.

I have to think if the opposing front line is 6-8, 6-7 this has to Fallah’s game to dominate.

7 total fouls in the first half. Who wants to bet we see the refs call everything in the second half?

This is 1000% on Lutz. We just choked that game away and just stopped playing, waiting for the time to run out. Awful.

This was TERRIBLE.

What a choke. Embarrassing.

PG Clary should be benched for not letting Roy or Miller touch the ball in their 2nd to last possession. Tie game. Dribble dribble dribble dribble spin around shot. Unacceptable. PASS THE F’N BALL! As the point guard he apparently has no awareness of who the best scorers/shooters are. It happens too often. Terrible PG play at the end.

This right here is the reason fans don’t show up. Had the game in the bag and just completely blew it. Why are we holding 3 timeouts for the last 90 seconds of the game once the lead is already slipping?

I need to try and understand what happened in the last five minutes of that game. Why TF did we slow it down so much? We were just sleeping walking the entire time.

I’m incredulous right now.

This and Miller literally being wide open at the foul line but not even looking to score. He hasn’t been the same player since conference play started.

Easy to get lethargic when you know Clary is going to hog the ball and toss up some dumb shot.

It’s true, Clary was selfish and dumb late. I truly don’t understand what our offensive plan was late game.

Lutz said that slowing the game down at the end was intentional to have some set plays and get a good shot. I simply cannot believe that this included Clary being the only one to touch the ball, dribble it out to the last second, and then jack a 3. Out of a timeout, no less!
