Dear Misery,

Remember football when we took away your national title hopes twice? Remember when you were finally going to be on top of the conference that you've had so much bad luck in? Remember?

Oh, you say this is a basketball thread and a basketball season now. Right you are...

Remember when you had that Dukie coach that took you to the Elite Eight? Remember how excited you were that you would finally have something to show for your program? Remember all that talent? Remember how Kareem Rush was on one of the national teams - for "All Hair" ???

I remember that season well - because WE WENT TO THE FINAL FOUR, beyonces :D And HOW did we get to that level, you ask? WE BEAT YOU. We destroyed your best season in recent history. We ruined your dream, and we intend to ruin any hope you have left in this season TONIGHT.

I remember the recent days when Mizzou would be a preseason top 5 team and finish out of the tournament. I remember them getting a #3 preseason ranking and immediately thinking "Mizzou is highly overrated."

Actually, I think they were a 12 seed during that Elite 8 run. They were lucky to get that far before having their hopes and dreams crushed.

Dude our card has been punched, this is about seeding. we could be a 5 seed in the NCAA with a win today and a decent showing in the CT.

I think there is a VERY, VERY slim chance we could fall out. Very slim, but possible:

--Lose Today
--Have either Baylor OR A+M win, dropping us to the #5 seed (or if they both win, we drop to $6)
--Lose in the 1st round to Colorado or ISU

If we lose today and STILL get the #4 seed, then we're in no matter what. But if we lose and have to play in the play-in game AND lose that game, I think we might be a bit on the bubble.

Losses to Mizzou/ISU or CU back-to-back would probably drop us well into the 40's in the RPI and the committe may frown on that kind of a finish.

Slim, but maybe not a lock quite yet.

I am hoping the Tiggers hot shooting from the outside will go cold

If OU doesn't come out with some intensity in the second half I will be amazed

Which Sooner will take charge in the second half? Will the whole team play better defense? Come on Coach Capel and the Crimson Crew! (now that's alliteration folks :) )

3/8/2008, 04:37 PM
I never really understand how much I hate Mizzou until we are actually into the game, whether it is football or basketball or whatever. Did I say hate? Yes, cuz that's what I meant.

bri
3/8/2008, 04:38 PM
I don't know how to feel right now. Mizzou pretty much outplayed us the entire first half - rebounding, forcing turnovers, shooting 50%. And yet, as bad as we looked, we're only down two. If we can start holding them to one shot on defense and establish more consistent scoring, we should be fine.

Emphasis on "if" and "should be".

OUmillenium
3/8/2008, 04:39 PM
Mark it down, we will be much better on D in the 2nd half.

And we will not take as many wild shots.

I loved Godbold's steal and behind the back save. AJ's steal and dunk were also sweet.

Hey, it's about time we have a player get star treatment.

I mean, hey, I'd prefer that referees call games the same for everyone, but they don't. And if they're going to call it differently for some people than others, I'd rather be on the up side of that for once. Anyone remember Ryan Minor coming off an All-American season getting called for BS foul after BS foul at home vs. Mississippi State? I remember the dude just sitting on the floor after he got bowled over by Dontae Jones just staring at the ref in disbelief.

Anyhow, I can't remember the last time an OU player started getting the Jordan rules.

Keep the pedal down. It sure would be nice to go into the Big 12 tourney with a bit of cushion on our NCAA hopes-I've seen too many good midmajors get upset in conference tourneys to ever feel confident about an unranked team from a major getting in.

I liked the move earlier to have him and AJ in the game at the same time while Mizzou was pressing. Other than that, minutes seem about right.

To finish the game, DG throws the ball up and it deflects off of the scoreboard and drills a mizzou player, LOL!!!

OK, count me as officially sold on Capel's ability to coach. This is a game that I think we'd have lost under Sampson-who I still think is a very fine coach, don't get me wrong. However, I can remember too many games-particularly against Missouri-where we ****ed away double-digit second half leads.

Great game by the players and coaches. Lots of adversity in the latter half of this season but they have overcome.

Godbold played one of his best games ever today. Many timely plays were made on his part.

LL gave it his usual grit and was solid late. Playing with pain.

Crocker was hot early, AJ was great late. Blake also battled pain and produced. Like Fran calling him the Bionic Man. Good stuff.

I predicted 21-10,9-7 in conference IF we stayed heakthy.Toreach that after losing Clark and having Blake,L2 miss games and play injured is just UN-FREAKING-BELIEVABLE.Capel is a basketball demi-god.

Coach Capel has improved on last years performance.

NCAA Men's BB is tough and very competitive.

I'm really happy for him and this year's squad at the 20-10 regular season.

The one thing I think hasn't changed from the Sampson Days is...it continues to be painful to watch our team play. We haven't had a Superstar Player in a long time. We continue to have solid teams...just not one that has 1 or 2 next level players on it.

I'm going to try and watch every Tourney Game we play and will be cheering us on.

Hopefully we'll keep everyone healthy and win the whole enchilada.

Hard to please aren't we? :rolleyes:

If not for two awful injuries, Blake Griffin could have rivaled Beasley for player of the year.

Next year if the team gets on the same page early OU could be top ten material and make a deep run in the tourney.

Hell why wait until next year when you can do it now?

When Augustin plays well, Texas is nearly unbeatable. Kst has lost 10 times with Beasley, thats how I would choose my POY but thats me
