So they're blaming Marcus Smart for trying to play 5 on 1 bb and being selfish? Not a team player? Where have we heard that before!

eyegasm there

They make a ton more sense than we do here. They also do not degrade almost immediately to personal attacks or ridiculous statements meant to inflame others.

The Stillwater game was flukish. As we have been saying (those who were not disparaging our kids and coaches).

Smart us a great player- but not 39 points great.

We do have strong guard play- that played collectively poorly at OSU.

Neither duplicated and we got a nice win. They are really good. We are really good. Play them again- anyone's game.

Well said
Exactly right

This is the thread that exposes them. Especially before tipoff.

I'm happy we have (mostly) high IQ basketball fans.

Do they have a "Hire Bruce Pearl" thread yet?

Look at the football forum. That's where the action is. They don't have a huge basketball fanbase.

I think we have a new one.

not really. In their Memphis game thread, one OSU fan claimed that Memphis isn't 'nearly as talented as OSU'.
They blamed the loss on OSU players going to DisneyWorld

Not saying it is right for people to flame but the feeling a fan gets after a losing a battle compared to getting embarrassed is apples to oranges.

This post is very interesting... I also realized Memphis fans are one of a kind... We are diehard fanatics here!!.. We have opened like 30 plus threads after the win and the Memphis vs OSU Thread is like 60 pages long compared to the OSU forum... DAMN!

Quote:Purdue, Butler and Memphis all got into his head. Once someone's in his head, he gets out of control. Ford has to see it and get control of it. Instead, I think he welcomes it and views it as some sort of spark for the team. It seems to me it does more harm than good.

Agree 100%, and that thread must be about as bad as it gets over there based on this post around the bottom of the first page:

Quote:These meltdown threads grow old......... I suppose everyone thought we were going to go undefeated and win every game by 20 plus points.

That was a "meltdown" thread over there.

Perhaps we could erase some of the lines in the sand around here.

I read their entire game thread. It is basically rated G compared to the stuff that gets spewed in our game threads!!!

We have a much higher ceiling for improvement (bench and young post players)... They are in mid season form...

Another game we would win by double digit on a neutral court.

just saying.....

That board is G rated and sane when compared to this one.

They have like 20 fans on their basketball forum. Hard to have a meltdown when nobody at your school cares about bball.
