Got to go to the passer when they are getting trapped. Too many people just standing around when they need to help the guy out and get open.

SleestakSooner

these lazy skip passes are killing me.

Longar needs to get in there and do some damage inside while they double Blake.

Not looking good now but at least they started calling some fouls on those pressing fools.

OKC-SLC
3/23/2008, 05:03 PM
and definitely need to shoot free throws better than usual. we leave WAY too many points out on the court because of our poor FT shooting.

IronSooner

As overaggressive as they're being we've got to get them in foul trouble soon. This is nuts. And maybe shoot more 2's

We're playing horrible... the refs arent really helping but these guys need to step it up

birddog
3/23/2008, 05:10 PM
well, we had a good 8 minutes. they're just overmatched out there. griffin isn't even in position to get rebounds because he's handling the damn ball and we're rushing shots before he's past midcourt.

fellas, that's what they want you to do.

OKC-SLC
3/23/2008, 05:11 PM
it's frustrating that we can't seem to get the ball inside despite the fact that they have men on our perimeter guys all the time.

i don't pretend to know how to do it, but if a guy is in Goldbold's and Crocker's face behind the arc, there should be 3 on 3 inside. That seems favorable to me.

SleestakSooner
3/23/2008, 05:11 PM

Come on Sooners, don't go out like this!

They throw it near the backboard and it goes in and Blake won't try to go at them. I just wish they would show some fight and not let them go in for dunks and layups, you're getting embarrassed, you might as well show some fight.

OKC-SLC

unbelievable.

it is a very bad matchup for us, that's for sure. we simply do not have the horses.

To be quite honest, I was a little surprised we made the tourney, definitely surprised at the 6 seed, and thrilled that we won our first game. That's more than I could have asked for.

While I never expected to win a 2nd tourney game, I certainly want to be competitive and not get blown out. Hopefully we can pull within 10 and at least have a go at it in the 2nd.

Memphis' free throw shooting is going to be the bane of their existence before this tournament is out.

And UNC looks...well...unstoppable.

I think a fair number of people here in Memphis really do believe they're going to make the finals. I don't see how. They eke out too many games and can't shoot FTs to save their lives.

UNC is really, really good.

Poor guard play!! If Crocker is going to be anything other than a role player off the bench next season he has got to be able to handle the ball!! With our guards Caple should be coach of the year!

Too bad Pitino was too chicken to decide the game one-on-one with Jeff.I agree with Capel,Iliked OUr chances in that matchup.

We have to get worlds better in the backcourt this offseason, from a fundamental standpoint. 'Cause if I was an opposing coach, I'd just tell my guys to press and trap and press some more. We don't value the ball for sh*t.

Warren will help in that regard, hell it might be best to let Blake play point. He is the best ball handler on the team as of now. But I am sure Capel will be stressing that well before next season begins.

Disappointing game but props to Capel; we are still at least 2 guards away from being able to compete with a legit top 15 program but i think he did one helluva job to even win 1 game in the tourney

Scottie Reynolds would look nice in the backcourt about now. :mad:

So what's the consensus.....Capel going to South Carolina or staying?

You don't need a good ball handler against a press; you need people who can make good decisions with the ball and deliver a crisp pass to the open man. Still, it is a luxury to have a big who can bring the ball up for us. :D

He'll be trading in one football school for another if he goes.;)

Seriously, he's building something special at OU. Why leave for an uncertain situation?
