SleestakSooner
12/20/2007, 10:22 PM
Anyone who has been watching college hoops in the last five years should know Gonzaga is going to play tough defense and make it really difficult to get shots in the paint. They are one really good program with a great coach.

Having said that, the Sooners are doing well and I like the effort Blake is showing. If he can start getting more shots to fall in close he will be hard to beat.

PhiDeltBeers
12/20/2007, 10:24 PM
If our offense was as good as our defense, we would be a team to reckon with. Unfortunately...not the case.

Awesome. Totally awesome. When they come to play, these guys are pretty dang good! Pargo killed us, but AJ did some great D near the end that really sealed the win.

L2 is a freaking stud! Where did that come from?! I remember last year he would dominate the little guys and then disappear against the good ones, but that doesn't seem to be a problem this year. He's been up against some really great big men and beaten them.

I'm not a good x's and o's guy, but it also seemed like we had a much better and well-executed game plan. I know towards the end Gonzaga started watching Pargo do his thing, which is never a good sign. Did Capel outcoach the opposition in this one? I'd like to think so. :D

AJ deserves some big time props for his defense in the clutch. He also hit some big shots down the stretch. But this is a guy that, for whatever reason (health?), has been inconsistent. Had a huge game and shut down the guy nobody could stop up to that point in this game, including an in your face block to seal the win.

This is a very good win. Gonzaga isn't as good as they have been in years past, but they still have a solid team with some big time talent. BOOMER SOONER!

Agreed. Last year, seeing him on the floor made me extremely nervous. This year, I feel like we are more under control with him in the game. I still haven't made up my mind about Longar. It seems that for every one great play he makes, there are two bonehead plays. He needs to get more consistent and quit being so fancy. Still, I can't believe how far he has come. He is very close to being an All Big XII type of player.

Big win for OU - upstaging their last big win. I'll admit it has been only a year and a half for Capel, but having your two biggest wins as the Sooner coach come in back to back games is impressive. Hopefully they can continue to build on this. I thought they played the best I've seen offensively in the second half, but their defense struggled. Admittedly, this is in large part due to Gonzaga stepping it up in the second half as well, but clearly this OU team is not bad and yet they have plenty of room to get even better. Hopefully the fans start to feed on this as well and maybe even *gasp* show up!

One of the complaints I've heard is that they have little or no identity. I think they are creating one - centered around Longar and Blake. This is the most excited I've been about OU basketball since Capel got here.

Great game! These last two wins have been HUGE for the team. L^2 is really coming along and is becoming a nice player. Also, for the second straight game, the crowd seemed electric which is a great boost for the team. I hope they can keep it up.

True story:

My husband (NormanPride) thought that OU would be crushed by the overtalented shoot-happy Zags and wanted to watch Shrek the Third (we have Netflix, ok?)

I insisted that we give our boys a chance and watch until at least when the clock had 15:00 left in the first half. That way, we'd be able to tell if Capel had a game plan or not.

Well, it was tied. OU was keeping it close. Oh, and they weren't wearing gray uniforms, just silver trim ones (which look sharp, so those are ok). Plus, the amount of Zags fans wearing bright orange was amusing.

So, we watched the rest of the game and it was well worth it. We didn't see Shrek 3 in theatres because we heard it wasn't as good. It can wait a little longer.

YAY, CAPELBALL!!! :D

I felt this was going to be a tough match-up going in. And in the first half it was a tough match-up. We really couldn't score and there was a long time when we couldn't defend Pargo. But we really stepped it up at the end of the game and our juniors and seniors really sealed the deal near the end. I can go down a long list of plays made by our juniors and seniors but the biggest difference was Austin Johnson IMO. He had 2 big 3's that opened up a lot in the 2nd half. And he really sealed the deal the last minute against Pargo. He defended Pargo well on the one possession that led to a missed jumper and he blocked Pargo's 3 and forced a turnover which he made the final free throw. Big win for the program right now. We haven't had a good win under Capel outside of maybe the Arkansas game. And we beat a very solid Gonzaga team. Hopefully this win builds momentum for the rest of the year.

Someone must have reminded Blake that grabbing rebounds is his job. This game Capel was the better coach.

I loved how the kids were able to switch gears when the Zags went to the zone. JC's use of the timeout when we had closed the gap to a one point game and had the ball with just under 2 left. We ran a set play to Longar in the paint and he gives us the lead back with an easy little hook shot over his man one on one.

This was the Sooners most complete game with plenty of lead changes and momentum swings. The seniors played like seniors and really would not give up.

I believe this team has found it's identity. Longar's positive influence shows each time he does something none of us expected and the team visibly rallies around him.

Now let's go give the Mountaineers a good game.

BOOMER!

COMPLAINT: Blake is not a clutch player. He only made one of the two critical free throws at the end. David Godbold, a senior, also missed one.

If there's ever a time to NOT shaq freethrows, it's the end of the game when the win's on the line :mad:

Agreed, passing the ball to Blake 18 feet from the basket at the end was NOT the right move. Coach should have made sure the only way Blake got the ball was if he was wide open in the paint. Godbold's miss didn't bother me as much since he made the second one that iced the game and there were only 0.2 seconds left if I remember correctly.

I am not saying this team doesn't need to improve. But the improvement we have seen in just a few games has been vast and the big MO is on the Sooners side right now.

Especially after one of the worst OU games in a LOOOOOOOOOONG time. It's nice to see them bounce back like that.

Blake is not a good free-throw shooter. If he normally shot 85% and missed one-of-two, I might say he's not clutch. But he's just not a good free-throw shooter. Longar played great in crunch time, but if he would've missed a three-pointer as the shot clock was expiring, I wouldn't have thought he wasn't clutch.

The way that game was going back and forth, once it got down to around 5 or 6 minutes remaining, you knew every possession was important...clutch. Blake made a few good plays coming down that stretch. When was that acrobatic tip-in he had? That was pretty amazing. The free-throws would've been nice, but I really wasn't expecting both of 'em.

Jiminy Christmas, you are hard to please. I surely hope your are joking.

Blake's just a friggin' freshman, and FT's are his weakness.

15 pts, 14 boards against the #20 team on national TV as a true freshman is not clutch?

It's hard to complain in a win, but I was really worried when Godbold and Blake Griffin missed those free throws.

Blake played well but it was the juniors and seniors that were clutch and the big difference in this one. AJ probably made the biggest difference at the end of the game with his 2 defensive stops.
