OT If OK - Fred's team v. OSU

Don't know if anyone is watching, but I've been occasionally glancing at this game tonight. OSU was up 4 with about 3 to go have gone a 6-0 to up 10 with just over a minute left. This is joke basketball. If OU played either of them with the defense they brought against us, they would destroy them. Our defense would destroy them more. Nothing like we see game in, game out. Just really bad basketball. No ball pressure. No double-team traps.

FOOTBALL TJ Tampa's NFL Combine day is today

Coverage will start on the NFL Network at 2:00 central time.

Tampa seems to be moving up the boards, especially Mel Kiper's, where he's now a first-rounder.

Really good stuff here, definitely worth a listen.

NIL for Jaylin

Watched Hannah Belanger’s old team tonight.

They took on Southwest Baptist in Bolivar and lost 74-88. They were 15-5 in conference last year, but have just 5 wins this year with one to play.

Audi’s HS teammate, Molly Joyce, had 24 for Truman State.

Little Jeff Horner is the TSU men’s coach and has six players from Iowa. Looks like he is taking a page from TJ as his guys play a very smothering D. Held SBU to 18 in the first half.

Interesting analysis of our team in The Athletic today.


6. Iowa State (22-6)
Last week: 7
One number to know: 27.7
For anyone brave enough to watch Iowa State’s Wednesday night win over Oklahoma — or who had their eyelids taped open in front of that rock fight, like some sort of punishment — this number should not come as a crazy surprise. But that 27.7 represents the number of 2-point attempts opponents average against the Cyclones — which, shocker, is the fewest any team in the country allows. We love the heat maps at CBB A
nalytics, and these two depicting where opponents shoot against Iowa State are just gold:

TJ Otzelberger’s team gives up some stuff at the rim, but otherwise, that is exactly as frosty a defense as you’d like. Of course, that number isn’t so low strictly because the Cyclones force bad shots; they’re also just tough to get 2s off against, given the way they turn you over. ISU is second nationally in defensive turnover percentage, per KenPom, forcing turnovers on just over a quarter of their opponents’ possessions on average. The Cyclones’ eight steals vs. Oklahoma on Wednesday actually decreased their season-long average of 10.6 takeaways per game. No, the offense is not always brilliant. But in terms of gritty, mucky NCAA Tournament games, against teams you’ve sometimes only had one day to prepare for? You can do a lot worse than being elite at steals and not allowing 2s. — Marks
