Sam Houston State Bearkats @ Oklahoma State Cowboys game thread

(That's not a misspelling of "bearcats")

Tonight, I hope to see Anthony Roy become a more integral part of the offense that creates good shots and lanes to the basket.

GO POKES!!!

Looks like a pretty good crowd for a winter Tuesday night.

 

[zone2poke]

So many turnovers.

Oklahoma State University: The Code Calls?

What happened to: The Answer is Orange?

 

[zone2poke]

I think Manzer or someone else said Lefty Lefteris can really hit the three in practice. It's just not happening game time.

Miller pulls up lame. It could be an ankle. I hope it's not an achilles.

 

[Stargazer]

Maybe Lutz

bearkats are a solid mid major. Dog fight tonight. Also if Mantzoukas can’t hit threes then that’s a problem because he takes forever to go up with the ball when he’s under the basket.

The student in the “Nutz for Lutz” Peanut costume is doing his part

Really nice job of Anthony Roy looking for the open man. He taken it all on himself a couple of times, and had some success. But he's mostly in the system tonight. I like what I'm seeing.

Po'Boigh King is keeping the Kats in the game with his threes. We need to get out on that guy.

Kats caught IColeman asleep on the inbounds.

 

[Tulley]

I was really hoping we would see more drives with kicks to the corner this year….something SH has been doing constantly with success tonight.

 

[LA-Poke]

Place a body on that king guy 24/7....why is there any separation

 

[zone2poke]

Lutz is chewing Roy's ear off about not getting out to the shooter.

A quick look at the box score reveals the same recurring problem I am seeing over and over again with this team. With 1:34 in the first half and OSU down 41-37, they are 13-21 on 2 point shots (61.9 percent) and 2-12 from 3 (16.7 percent). If they would get the ball down low and take higher percentage shots they would be up by a dozen. They insist on jacking 3s when the 3s aren't falling.

 

[LA-Poke]

Stop with the double teaming, they are hitting 3's, we are not guarding the 3's

That is a frustrating thing through all levels. High School just wants to jack 3's. My son's sixth grade coach has plays for 5&6th graders to jack 3's. They really don't have an offense to run a post game. Drives me bonkers

Down 44-37 at half

Threes threes threes. The Kats are shooting well.
