Oklahoma State saved its worst for last. While statistics from a few other games may reveal uglier numbers on the key categories ?points, rebounds, turnovers, shooting ?it's hard to argue the Cowboys were cumulatively worse, at a worse time, than they were Thursday, bounced out of the NCAA Tournament in a 68-55 loss to Oregon at HP Pavilion. ��It's the worst, because we don't get to play no more,?Nash said. ��We've got to go home and watch it on TV now. We've got to watch Oregon and all the teams that we played and we beat and we didn't beat. ��That just hurts me a lot, seeing that I can't play any more in my sophomore year. It hurts a lot.? Hurts, too, to stumble so badly on the big stage, in the program's much-anticipated return to March Madness following a two-year absence. The Cowboys committed three turnovers before ever attempting a shot and accumulated 10 by halftime, when they trailed 37-26. They were battered on the boards, 44-32, and allowed the Ducks to turn 14 offensive rebounds into 12 second-chance points. And it's not like Oregon caught the Cowboys by surprise. ��We gave them 21 extra possessions in the first half, between our turnovers and extra shots,?said OSU coach Travis Ford. ��And those were our two No. 1 keys: No. 1A and 1B. ��At this time of the season, you can't let a team play to their strengths. And we let them do that.? Let them. That stings. ��They were as physical as we expected, we just didn't come out and match their physicality and intensity,?said Marcus Smart, the Cowboys' captain of toughness. ��And that's very disappointing, because this team, we decided to establish our identity as one of the toughest teams in the Big 12 and the country. ��So to say that, that the other team came out and out-(muscled) us, that's embarrassing.? The Cowboys didn't shoot it well, either, finishing at 40.4 percent from the field. Any hopes at a rally were foiled by a 29.4 percent effort after intermission. And from the foul line Air Jordan Ray Allen, OSU went 8-for-15, with three misses coming on the front end of 1-and-1 opportunities. ��It felt like everything that could go wrong, went wrong,?Smart said. ��And you can't have games like that, especially at this time, in the NCAA Tournament. You're supposed to get those games out of the way. ��And unfortunately, we had one of those games tonight air jordans spizike.? Markel Brown led the Cowboys with 16 points in defeat. Smart added 14, but struggled shooting, making just 5 of 13 field-goal tries and 4 of 8 free throws. Damyean Dotson led the Ducks with 17 points and Arsalan Kazemi grabbed 17 rebounds, keying Oregon's domination on the boards. The Cowboys never posed a serious threat in the second half, failing to cut the lead to single digits at any time. OSU's season ends at 24-9, with highlights for sure, yet a final lowlight that won't be easy to shake. ��It's extremely tough,?said Cowboys forward Michael Cobbins air jordan aero flight. ��We had a great team here. We had a great season. And we all wanted to continue going on this journey and making the best of it. So it's extremely tough getting cut short like this. ��But this is just fuel for next year.?
