Cade Cunningham Highlights vs Iowa State – YouTube
O State hosted the worst team in the Big 12 per the Iowa State Cyclones and it went as it should have gone with the Cowboys coasting to an easy win.
These aren’t Fred Hoiberg’s Cyclones, but any Big 12 win this season is one you put in your pocket. Iowa State was a collective 4-28 in its previous thirty-two true road games so this a win O State had to have.
You always have to consider the level of the opponent, but Cade was excellent in this game. He looked like someone in the talk for the NPOTY award.
There was space much like he’ll see next year in the NBA and his overall game flowed for all to see. This is the Cade Cunningham I’m pretty sure we’ll see as his maturity and game evolve.
O State still has three conference games against the best two teams in the conference in Baylor and OU—with two of those being at home…so I’m very interested to see Cade play those games since he sat the first game versus Baylor because of Covid protocol.
I actually think both SGA and Bazely are somewhat soft—I’d love to see something with Cade and Dort plus whatever the Thunder could package for Bazely and SGA. I like Roby and Maledon. But I don’t like Maledon as a starter.
I’d love to see a private poll of NBA general managers choice if they had to pick between Ja Morant in Memphis and SGA. I’d personally take Ja Morant.
Nice win for O State and a game which I hope kick starts Cade turning it loose a bit with his overall game.
OU’s game with Texas has been kicked back to Thursday now due to the most recent snow storm of Tuesday night.
In a sidenote basketball footnote… my fourth or fifth tier storyline Oklahoma City Thunder lost at home to Portland by a 115-104 count when Damian Lillard finally got serios about the game in the final four minutes.
That’s one ‘graph on the Thunder on my blog. Right now they’re borderline two ‘graph worthy. We’ll leave multiple ‘graph’ stories to the Cupcake beat writers at Daily Thunder. It’s a good thing I have a sense of humor. Those kids are adorable.
