No, not the musical group. The university.
Tipoff against the mighty Terriers is imminent. Hopefully, it's the only Wyattvision (or rather, Boylevision) game we are forced to enjoy this season. Here's to an excellent TV package!
Discuss the game below.

Yeah
And the shooting disappeared.
I reiterate: Where are the guards? Where is Denis? He should chew a zone up.
Listening to K-State BB
or watching my dog go nuts, pulling every single toy out of her toy basket…which is currently more entertaining?
I like Ben Boyle
But it’s just like with Wyatt in football.
He’s busy breaking down the last play while the next one is going on, and I know more from the crowd reaction then I do from the game call.
If there's one negative about Martin's teams...
They really, really struggle against zone defenses.

Thank God for McGruder
7 for 9 on the season.
But they’re 6 of 10. What the hell is wrong with our perimeter D?
So...
…are we looking at the same song different verse? Struggle all year against the zone and get beat by inferior teams that drain threes?
Well, we haven't lost yet
I think this is about as ugly as we will play this season. Bigs haven’t figured things out and still a lot of miscommunication.
They’ll be nearly unbeatable in February, I think.
Jake = Sharpshooter

Interesting development
Wally and Denis both playing with two fouls.
Not very like Frank, but I guess Denis has earned his trust. Now Wally, I can’t explain.
I hope not

Lowe has 4
They just don’t have anyone else.
I wish I could have seen the 6’2" guard foul JHR. That would have been funny.

Upset alert in Stillwater
CU is playing much better than OSU.
Cate has thrown a pick and should have thrown at least three more.
0 for 6 on third downs, despite running it down CU’s throat in the first half.
Just had a field goal blocked.
Gotta love...
…seeing him find his confidence out there. That’s a huge weapon if he can stretch defenses like that.

By the way, everyone...

Big picture question
What’s with the slow starts? As long as we keep winning, it’s not a big deal, but we can’t keep coming out and sleepwalking in the first half, or we’re going to end up so far behind someone that we can’t make it up.

Part of me thinks they're just bored with the low-level opponents
Tomorrow against Ole Miss, that changes.
I hope...
…they can just turn it on, but I fear it’s going to take a loss before it sinks in.

Man, Sutton is a complete offensive liability right now
At some point, that’s gonna impact his minutes.
Approximately when the frosh start playing good defense.
The free throws kill me...seriously...not hard.

That’s why he’s such a good fundraiser. Never too high, never too low. Keeps an even keel, as it were. :-)
You can trust him with your money because you know he's not creative enough to embezzle.

Just end this foul-fest already!

This game is still on?

ESPNU, here we come
im ready to see it too. its not our fault their whistles will be broken. i hope they have diff refs tomorrow. this game has taken for forever.
Go 'Cats!!!
Wow again...
CU scores again. OSU is terrible without Robinson. BTW, he’s lucky to be alive after that hit last week.
How can the Cowboys come back?
You have to throw now.
Crazy scenario. We beat NU and CU beats NU after beating OSU.
We’d be sole North champion and Hawk would save his job with a 6-6 bowl bid, all while Mangino and Perkins destroy each other.
Please, God, let this happen…
HAHA
i so hope that we win in Lincoln on saturday. one we have to and two we would have done eveything everybody said we couldnt do.
Go 'Cats!!!
Yeah, all week it's been Nebraska this, Nebraska that
No one gives us a chance.
Starting to get that 2003 vibe. Desperate teams do crazy things.
we are alive.
we live to play another day. hopefully we dont start as slow as we did in the first half against Ole Miss. Go Cats.
Go 'Cats!!!
And then OSU fumbles it right back to CU
Beautiful.
I think CU is gonna win. Let the insane weekend of upsets begin.
I wish I had a .gif of #6 just falling down on that return.
Epic fail.

Thanks for the commentary
You guys really shine on your basketball commentary. Wasn’t able to listen to the game, but didn’t miss much. Anticipating great things this year, but I’m not ready to invest in BBall until after I’ve exhausted myself during football. Beat NU!
See you all tomorrow night
7:30 p.m. on ESPNU.
It’s a win-win even if we lose, because we’ll face either Dayton or Villanova in the final. Both are ranked and both will boost our RPI much more than any non-con team did last year.
A quick analysis...
If we want to continue to be successful on the season we need to average around .800 in free throw shooting. Take a look at almost any team that has made a run to the Final Four and that is the one thing that really stands out about this game…and the turnovers and lack of perimeter defense. Kudos to the multiple freshmen who hit all but one free throw to ice the game in the end.
I'm not real worried yet
We sucked at free throws last fall, too, but I don’t remember them costing us any game in the Big 12. Pretty sure we made most of them in Austin, for instance.
Not worried just an observation...
This game could have been salted early by making early free throws and we could have won by 20. Living in ACC country I can watch first hand how UNC and Duke put a lot of teams away early by making their free trips to the line count.
