Bedlam basketball at Paycom

[Poke Skywalker]

Both the men’s and women’s coaches and the AD should have stuck to the no bedlam stance. Now they are paying for it. Nothing but negative publicity today for OSU athletics with a bunch of “Bedlam Sweep” headlines, tweets, etc. There’s very little gain from it. If you win they’d just ignore it and talk CFP. Also got to think those NIL donors are probably a little extra agitated with these losses as well.

It seems like we always lose to OU in basketball. No point in scheduling it because we could be ranked #1 and still find a way to lose

Most every sport with sole exception being wrestling. Exactly why I would never play them in any sport unless required in post season.

No way. Cowboys don’t run and hide from gooners.

Apparently, we did today. Two losses by a combined 31 points.

This is crazy to me. So we just don't play OU anymore because we all don't like losing to them?

We're 5-5 in our last 10 in MBB. Tons of talent is coming in. Cancelling a series that attracts around 10K fans in December because we played poorly is pretty weak

 

[Tulley]

Ok Gonzaga is on the other 2 who knows. Just a bad L for us. We have not played anyone and this loss makes us look like a fraud

I’m still hopeful about this season but right now we are a fraud. They haven’t bought into playing D. They better figure it out quickly.

There’s just far more downside to OSU playing this game. There’s other games that could be played without that. We could play Arkansas in Tulsa and draw the same or bigger crowd.

Being afraid of the gooners is far far worse than losing to them.

Here's what you do: You get better.

It’s not afraid, just saying your irrelevant to us

Oh no doubt we are frauds. We can’t beat a middle of the road sec team

It's one bad game. It's not a season.

We missed several high-percentage scoring opportunities and have significant room for improvement. We should've easily won this game.. too many missed shots there were basically given to us

Side note: Boynton has energized Michigan. He recruited nearly the entire roster himself, and the head coach has cited his recruiting ability as the key reason for hiring

Edit: Michigan is ranked 2nd.

We're doing ok without him.

Yea but a bad game against an average team. What happens when we play good teams in the big 12?

Good teams get beat by average teams sometimes. But I agree. This was a terrible loss against a hated opponent. But there's a lot of basketball to be played yet.

Recruiting and coaching are two different skills. Boynton could recruit but was poor at building a roster with the skills for the well rounded team needed for success. In addition he coaching skills were not up to par. That said by all known metrics to me he is a good man.

You think they should go ahead and play those games and see what happens or just go ahead and pack it up?

Some times teams improve, and they shoot better, and they get healthier. The sky isn't falling after one loss.

What's your point?

 

[Okcpokefan]

I hate it. I feel like every time this program gets some momentum to potentially start filling up GIA again and we lay an egg in a bigger game.

Long season...lots of ball to play...but very frustrating. We play in the best league in the country by far. You have to beat a middle of the road SEC team.

Really hope Parsah can take the next few games to get healthy for conference play because we have no post offense without him and we got dominated in the interior on D. Disappointed in the international guys behind him they did not rise to the occasion.

Also, today stung even harder than usual because of the atrocious athletic products we have had to watch the last few years in football and MBB. Felt like the cowboy fans needed this win. But if this team can play defense and be less selfish on offense they can be a very good team. Playing in the Big 12 isn’t easy though so if they don’t figure it out it will be tough sledding.
