Oh man this is going to be a tough loss if we lose it at the FT line.

Jerrells at the line for two

BU can go up by one if he makes both

It was not a foul, Referee Whitehead called it......another reason why I don't watch much basketball anymore. They call too much crap they think they see.

[PDXsooner]

[OU_Sooners75]

[stoops the eternal pimp]

There was a tip in attempt that hit rim but not that close.

BU 90
OU 91

SOONERS WIN!!!

[badger]

Holy ****
holy ****

[silverwheels]

We gave the game away and they gave it right back. We were lucky as all get out to win that one, but I'll take it.

[Hella Sideburns]

yes yes yes yes yes

3-2 down the stretch and we're in the tournament.

[Frozen Sooner]

Holy carck.

[OKC-SLC]

leave it to Curtis Shaw to make that chicken**** call.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

He missed both of them

[rufnek05]

baylor is a lot better than i thought, they are going to be tough in the big 12 tourney.

[Ground_Attack]

I'm hyperventilating!

[sooner518]

ummm wow i am going to have a heart attack after that one

[SoonerBOI]

HUGE WIN!

[william_brasky]

We gave the game away and they gave it right back. We were lucky as all get out to win that one, but I'll take it.

yeah, we shouldn't have won that game.

I ain't complainin' though. That may be the game that gets us in the tourney.

[OU_Sooners75]

Apparently he did.

Dont ever doubt my power again. :D :eek: :cool:

[King Crimson]

un ****ing believable

[SleestakSooner]

My girlfriend is yelling at me to stop screaming :)

Great game, so glad da bears didn't pull that **** off, they definately didn't deserve a win.

[Frozen Sooner]

No, machine, I really am posting holy carck again.

[colleyvillesooner]

awesome. Game of the year.

[Frozen Sooner]

Seriously.

Holy carck.

[birddog]

i couldn't bear to watch ot after we went down 5.

my 34 year old ticker can't take it anymore. :(

[sooner2b09]

What is it with us and overtime wins.

Seriously?

I need something to calm me down!

Holy crap!

[King Crimson]

talk about winning two crazy ball games in a row

[SOONER STEAKER]

WOW waht a game. I only wish I was in the LNC to watch and expereience the excitement. Crowd sounded really loud!!

[Blue]

We almost gave it away. What a win. Huge clutch shooting by our guards.

[Frozen Sooner]

You know what two words describe that game?

Holy carck.

[Rock Hard Corn Frog]

Piece of cake!:D


Tony Crocker you have stones the size of bowling balls!

That was as clutch as anyone EVAR in an OU uniform.

[silverwheels]

Two games in a row...this is crazy.

[cheezyq]

The wife just used the d-fib paddles to revive me. What'd I miss?

Unbelievable.

[NormanPride]

I think we're out of buzzer-beaters now. :D

[birddog]

did jerrells do something to foul up the game for baylor at the end?

[King Crimson]

the delay b/ween the yahoo boxscore and the ESPN 360 stream was killing me.

[Frozen Sooner]

did jerrells do something to foul up the game for baylor at the end?

Yes. Missed two free throws with 1 second left.

[OU_Sooners75]

nvm

[birddog]

well, that's a bummer.

[Rock Hard Corn Frog]

the delay b/ween the yahoo boxscore and the ESPN 360 stream was killing me.


Hell on ESPN.com Keith Clark hit a lay-up at the buzzer to lead OU to a 77-73 win.

[NormanPride]

Hopefully the longer break will keep us from letting down too much against texass. I would have thought we lose this game due to let down from Tech, but MAN! Balls of STEEL!

[King Crimson]

new avatar!

this is a song about super hero named Tony!

[NormanPride]

well, that's a bummer.
Why?

[silverwheels]

I'm still in disbelief.

[birddog]

Why?

sarcasm-o-meter is broken? :D

[Flying Scotsman]

Tony Tony Tony, has done it again!!

(Some kind of song lyrics I heard once)

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Ok...I ve spekked all the in gamers..some probably more than once...YAY!

[Frozen Sooner]

Tony Tony Tony, has done it again!!

(Some kind of song lyrics I heard once)

I wonder if Jerrell's are still around now that he has no loot?

[SleestakSooner]

I picked a bad season to quit smoking!

Cardiac Sooners do it again! Crocker's 4-point-play was even more incredible than the 3 by Godbold last game!

[Straz1999]

God, I wish I could have seen this game. It's like 7 am over here and all i can see is the gamecast from ESPN.com. UUUUHGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!! I sure miss being home.

[King Crimson]

i just as soon NOT see Baylor in the conference tournament.

[Straz1999]

It was stupid too because it said the final score was OU winning 77-73 and then it showed overtime on the chart with Baylor up by 5. I was like, WTF is going on?????????????

[william_brasky]

Ok...I ve spekked all the in gamers..some probably more than once...YAY!

thanks STEP, I hit ya right back with whatever I have.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

i just as soon NOT see Baylor in the conference tournament.

I would like a nice 15-20 point win to not have to sweat it to the end

[birddog]

i just as soon NOT see Baylor in the conference tournament.
or tech, texass, a&m, ku, or ksu.

[SoonerStormchaser]

For once, I'm GLAD this game wasn't on in San Antonio...I don't think my blood pressure could've handled this yet again.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

gotta give it up to jerrells tonight though..played big until 1 second left...

[NormanPride]

sarcasm-o-meter is broken? :D

Heh. Do we hate him for some specific reason?

[Frozen Sooner]

gotta give it up to jerrells tonight though..played big until 1 second left...

Yeah, Jerrells was pretty automatic.

He just wasn't clutch.

(Get it? Heh.)

[Hella Sideburns]

what happens in the texas game?

Someone is going to have to figure out a way to hit a 5-pointer.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

he had excellent shooters roll on those last 2 FTs

[Frozen Sooner]

Heh. I'm digging the signatures, KC and STEP.

[Frozen Sooner]

Griffin dunks it. James clotheslines him. Griffin hits the first, intentionally misses the second, gets his own board, dunks.

missed ft's.

[jdsooner]

UNBELIEVABLE!!

[Sooner98]

Wow.

Just got back from the game, and I'd say, off the top of my head, that's probably the best game at Lloyd Noble I've ever been to. The only other one that comes to mind, would be the KU game in 95 where Abercrombie hit the 3 to win.

All kinds of kudos to Baylor - over the last five minutes of regulation, and the five minutes of overtime, they looked like the best team we've played all year. They've got probably best or second best group of guards in the Big 12.

[birddog]

did they allow fans to drop down to the lower level?

[cheezyq]

Sitting in a hotel room in Boise. This game is not on the TV. This makes me sad

Thanks for the updates. I cant wait to see that slam. Perhaps on Sportscenter later tonight??

Ha. Only for 15 seconds, despite how great the game was. Spent more time on hockey than the OU/BU game.

[okienole3]

did they allow fans to drop down to the lower level?

I doubt it. The yellow shirt gestapo has got to go. In my section, right next to the tunnel, they have been instructed not to let anyone down those stairs during the last minute or two of the game. So, there was one guy whose wife and kids were a few rows down in their seats and YSG dude wouldn't let him back to his seat during that last minute. Then, to make things worse, when the game went to overtime, people were getting up to go to the bathroom and those mindless fools were telling people that if they left the section they wouldn't be let back down. WTF? Finally, the blue shirt gestapo explained that if they had tickets to that section then they could go down. It is something new every week with those people. Thanks Joe C. First, Top Daug, now the YSG.

[birddog]

sounds like a pain in the arse to go to a game.

[meoveryouxinfinity]

just saw the Griffin dunk on the teaser for ESPN's top 10... so TUNE IN!

[OUstud]

Yeah, I mean it's nice to know we're safe from all harm thanks to the high school dropouts in collared shirts, but do we really need one per section? Or 10 standing on the court following the game?

[meoveryouxinfinity]

ESPN top 10:
Blake Griffin dunk #4
Blake Griffin dunk #2
Tony Crocker 4 point play #1

Awesome :)

[sooner518]

Wow we got 3 of the Top 10 plays. #4, 2 and 1. BG had some sick dunks and that oop off the backboard from AJ was awesome!

[OKC-SLC]

that oop off the backboard from AJ was awesome!
man, I missed that. I got home just at the give-and-go dunk late in the game.

[AllAboutThe'O']

I think I need to return home from my parents' house every time the Sooners play.
I returned home from the parents on Dec. 29 in time to see OU outlast West Virginia in double overtime. Same thing happens again today; come back and see the rest of the game, one of the wildest finishes I've ever seen.

[Frozen Sooner]

Nice. Three OU plays in the top 10.

[Jeopardude]

Dear Baylor benchwarmer who waved his arms up and down before and during Jerrells's free throw attempts,

I know you thought it was funny at the time that trying to get the crowd loud would do nothing and your teammate would make them, but you were dead wrong.

Now you have a long trip to think about your ego being slapped down and how much of a fool you looked. And, even worse, your destination on your long trip is Waco where you'll have to live.

:D :texan:

[stoopified]

HUGE WIN.

[King Crimson]

still feeling pretty good about this one.

[piusbovis]

Last time I was that nervous was the first half of the big XII championship game and the last time I felt that good was the second half of the big XII championship game.

This is the first year I've been watching OU basketball and I get the feeling I'm being spoiled, watching Blake Griffin slam down a monster dunk at least once a game.

[cheezyq]

Perhaps they should start hunting down the opposing fans that keep yelling during our players' FTs. That's the most annoying thing about our home games to me (aside from lack of attendance). Hunt those idiots down and kick em' out.

[tommieharris91]

This is the first year I've been watching OU basketball and I get the feeling I'm being spoiled, watching Blake Griffin slam down a monster dunk at least once a game.

You are when it comes to how good of a player Blake is. I don't think OU has ever produced a #1 NBA Draft pick. He is definitely good enough to be the first if he stays at least 1 year.

[tommieharris91]

Well, now I am going to start reading this thread. I never thought I would see a basketball game thread as long as some of the shorter football game threads.

So, the game was probably the best basketball game I have ever been to. All kinds of twists, close, drama with ejections and lead changes, an overtime. The crowd was great when we needed to be, and I have never heard the LNC get as loud as it did for Crocker's final 3 and FT and Jerrell's misses. It was a fun time, and coming off of the win @TTech this one feels just as good, if not better.

I might be weird in saying I have enjoyed all of the close games OU has played lately, but these close games just make them more and more interesting to me. When we win it just feels that much better that we won an exciting, dramatic game. When we lose those types of games, it just feels that much worse. The crowds at LNC seem to play off of this kind of game and respond by becoming more active and louder, and that just makes going to watch this team play much more enjoyable, knowing that, when the game is coming down to the wire, you know this team will find some way to pull the game out no matter the adversity (especially true now that we are healthy).

This brings me to another point: is Baylor one of the most unclutch teams around? Everytime I have watched them play since their 5OT win @ATM, they seem to either blow large leads late in games, or make a frantic comebacks only to have it fall short because of some mental error or lack of execution. I have seen that team come back from a 14-point deficit against OU at home, only to stop scoring completely the rest of that game. I have seen that team lose a 15-point lead @texass. I have seen that team cut a 12-point deficit to 1 against texass, only to have a senior call a timeout when they don't have any. Lastly, I have seen that team get a chance to force a 2nd OT or win the game if they just make even 1 FT with 1 second left, but miss both of them. It's no real wonder that they have lost 6 of their last 7 when they seem to have a load of brainfarts every game.

[Boomer.....]

They were pretty clutch late in the second half and the start of the OT. Baylor couldn't miss a shot. It took everything we had to win that game.

[OUmillenium]

Big congrats to the team!

And a big thumbs down to Joe C. for the dork on the mike and the Yellow Shirt Crew I have been hearing about.

[tommieharris91]

They were pretty clutch late in the second half and the start of the OT. Baylor couldn't miss a shot. It took everything we had to win that game.

I understand that, but every time I have watched Baylor, they are always either falling short in a comeback or blowing a sizeable lead.

[Frozen Sooner]

You are when it comes to how good of a player Blake is. I don't think OU has ever produced a #1 NBA Draft pick. He is definitely good enough to be the first if he stays at least 1 year.

Blake's a lottery pick, but I don't think he's a #1 overall.

If he comes out this year, that slot's already filled by Michael Beasley.

If he comes out next year, we'll see.

[King Crimson]

i think Gordon would go ahead of Blake this year as well. possibly a couple others.

i'd be surprised if we don't see Blake next year in C and C. but, who the heck knows.

[Frozen Sooner]

i think Gordon would go ahead of Blake this year as well. possibly a couple others.

i'd be surprised if we don't see Blake next year in C and C. but, who the heck knows.

I think Love as well.

Plus, I don't think Blake is the 6'10" he's listed at, which is going to hurt his draft stock a little.

[King Crimson]

@#%~!@#%@!

post #198. at the point of this post, the ESPN 360 thing was WAY behind and i was waiting for the yahoo box to refresh (which was close to real time i think--maybe about 30 seconds slow)....i thought we had lost.

STEP's posts were about a minute ahead, i thought that was it.

[tommieharris91]

Blake's a lottery pick, but I don't think he's a #1 overall.

If he comes out this year, that slot's already filled by Michael Beasley.

If he comes out next year, we'll see.

A few '09 draft projections have Blake going #1 overall, but that is still pretty far away.

[badger]

Somebody needs to post a video of the last segment of that game IN ITS ENTIRETY asap. kplzthx.

MUST include:
- insane 3 pointer-turned-4 point play
- phantom phoul call with one second left.
- thousands strong join heart and song in baylor free throw praise
- baylor benchwarmer mocking thousands strong's heart and song
- baylor missing free throw #1 and #2.
- OU REBOUNDING...
- OU WINS!
- Capel goes nuts
- Crowd goes nuts.

To the one who can post or provide a link, huge major spekin' plzkthx

[Frozen Sooner]

Phantom foul?

Jerrell got mugged, badger.

[Youngsooner]

During the WV game, I thought man that was a good game, then saw the Tech game saturday and thought wow Godbold is the man, best game this year. then i watched this game and wow... blew my mind, i was running around screaming afterwards. Intense game

[NormanPride]

Phantom foul?

Jerrell got mugged, badger.

To our defense, we couldn't find the game on in Tulsa, so we had to settle for highlights on SportsCenter. :( There, the foul looked questionable because it all happened so fast.

[colleyvillesooner]

It was no phantom call, but I wouldn't have called it a mugging.

[Frozen Sooner]

Heh. I think Godbold's thought process was to make sure that Jerrell didn't hit a layup to win the game. Good foul.
