Where's everybody at?

oumartin
11/26/2008, 09:32 PM
obviously you dent forget!

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 09:33 PM
heh.

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 09:34 PM
it's not like everyone's at the game or something.

oumartin
11/26/2008, 09:35 PM
awful start.

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 09:36 PM
couple cheap fouls on us.

UAB 3
OU 0

18:35

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 09:36 PM
This team will go as far as B Griffin can take them. That may be pretty far, because he's an absolute freak.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 09:37 PM
i'm here. we look a little sloppy with the ball so far.

Blake to the line for 2.

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 09:37 PM
wtf was the foul there? The dude came thru the lane and drew no contact that I could see.

if the refs are gonna call it tight like this, we're gonna be hosed.

oumartin
11/26/2008, 09:38 PM
team will be down 10 before they know there is even a game being played . they seem to have stayed at the hotel

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 09:38 PM
this better not be one of those games where we suck out loud and go down by double digits early.

we look like a JV team so far.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 09:39 PM
Crocker hits the 3, but i don't think we can rely on the long ball to win (against almost anyone).

oumartin
11/26/2008, 09:39 PM
man, they are pushing it

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 09:40 PM
groan. bad transition D and Tony takes a quick 3. UAB scores.

great sequence for us.

oumartin
11/26/2008, 09:40 PM
nice spin move Blake

oumartin
11/26/2008, 09:41 PM
nice willie

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 09:41 PM
i went to tuck in the baby, and just like that we're up.


i'll leave all game long if i have to.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 09:42 PM
warren with a lucky shot in the lane in traffic.

10-8 OU

I guess Crocker has the green light tonight.

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 09:42 PM
I saw on espn yesterday that B Griffin leads the nation with 19.8 rebounds/game. next was some dude with 14/game.

oumartin
11/26/2008, 09:42 PM
man, I think our next foul puts them in the bonus.

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 09:43 PM
yeah, the officials are calling things one-sidedly so far it seems. there's little that's more frustrating than that.

we have to be better to make that not matter.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 09:43 PM
I don't like this feeling i get that every team we play shoots lights high % from teh 3 line.

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 09:44 PM
By the way, did I hear on the radio this am correctly that Curry with Davidson scored zero points in their win last night?

oumartin
11/26/2008, 09:45 PM
yeah, they double teamed him the entire game. zilch points for him

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 09:46 PM
they are playing man. no zone so far.

oumartin
11/26/2008, 09:46 PM
finally they got a foul

bluedogok
11/26/2008, 09:46 PM
I HATE basketball officiating......it has made me watch it less and less over the years. So much so that I rarely even watch OU games anymore let alone any others whether it be college or NBA.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 09:47 PM
nice 15 foot J from Blake.

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 09:47 PM
good D by Blake there.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 09:47 PM
Cade is back.

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 09:48 PM
thank you for the hand check foul. if you're gonna call crap, call it even.

oumartin
11/26/2008, 09:49 PM
yes, seems officials wanna be the PTP ers nowadays

oumartin
11/26/2008, 09:50 PM
Mike Davis' owns OU :D

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 09:50 PM
yes, seems officials wanna be the PTP ers nowadays

heh.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 09:51 PM
hey, happy thanksgiving to you guys. the last of the almost real holidays.

oumartin
11/26/2008, 09:52 PM
WTF kinda foul was that?

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 09:52 PM
wtf was that foul call?

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 09:52 PM
2 possessions in a row without a shot. can't win like that.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 09:54 PM
amazingly, we're still up one.

oumartin
11/26/2008, 09:54 PM
ever get the feeling a game just isn't gonna go the way you want it.. I mean this game just has a weird feel to it

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 09:54 PM
blue shirt and blue tie, c'mon coach... "represent".

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 09:57 PM
i hate the way we turn the ball over. i know we are the greatest team ever...but we turn it over *a lot*.

oumartin
11/26/2008, 09:57 PM
well I changed it.. this just has bad feel to it.. team seems to not be into this game at all

kevpks
11/26/2008, 09:59 PM
3!!!!!!!!!!!

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 09:59 PM
team seems very uninterested, don't they?

soonervegas
11/26/2008, 10:00 PM
Something about OU and MSG never look good together.

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 10:00 PM
what a bull**** charging call.

soonervegas
11/26/2008, 10:01 PM
And UAB looks two steps quicker than us right now.

Ruuuuuufus
11/26/2008, 10:01 PM
team seems very uninterested, don't they?

yeah, especially on defense. Blake just kinda stands there when he's not in the paint.

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 10:02 PM
they are absolutely showing no respect to our perimeter shooting (for good reason)

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:03 PM
Blake beats 3 guys for an easy lay-in.

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 10:03 PM
UNBELIEVABLE these calls.

i mean, is it possible that a college basketball player might just MISS a shot without being fouled???

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:04 PM
they are absolutely showing no respect to our perimeter shooting (for good reason)

Crocker jacked a few up early. Cade had an ugly one.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:05 PM
we need to turn this 7 point losing into more like 4 instead of 10 by halftime.

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 10:05 PM
Crocker jacked a few up early. Cade had an ugly one.

yeah; they're gonna just put 4 guys around blake until we start making a few more.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:05 PM
another easy basket for UAB.

soonervegas
11/26/2008, 10:05 PM
Especially when it is a fade away....

Ruuuuuufus
11/26/2008, 10:06 PM
yeah, especially on defense. Blake just kinda stands there when he's not in the paint.

I take that back. He does it when he's in the paint also.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:10 PM
some great D there, guys.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:12 PM
we give them 3 chances on that rebound/loose ball situation...and then the foul call.

Hella Sideburns
11/26/2008, 10:13 PM
at least blake looks interested on offense

Crimson Kid
11/26/2008, 10:14 PM
Man, we can't buy a bucket from outside.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:15 PM
UAB not even in the bonus yet. they are THAT good.

KC//CRIMSON
11/26/2008, 10:16 PM
Between Crocker missing every shot, getting smoked in transition, and turn overs, we're lucky to not be down by 20.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:16 PM
we can't even start our offense inside the time line. they are getting to us with aggressive man.

StormySooner-IN
11/26/2008, 10:16 PM
in.

just turned it on...got back from work.


WTF is going on? I really want to play Purdue....

soonervegas
11/26/2008, 10:17 PM
At least johnson clipped the iron....let's take our butt chewing at half and come out firing 2nd half.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:17 PM
i'll take down 5, all things considered. could have easily been 10.

Hella Sideburns
11/26/2008, 10:17 PM
pretty quiet first half? doesnt he have 13-8?

Ruuuuuufus
11/26/2008, 10:20 PM
they are getting way too many rebounds for being such a small team.

oumartin
11/26/2008, 10:21 PM
sorry, but with my high blood pressure and knack for throwing stuff when I get mad It was best I changed the channel. glad we are only down 5.

Its best I just use this to keep up with the score

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:23 PM
losing this game would suck out loud but not the end of the world, but winning it would really be a step ahead for the program in terms of playing again in a feature game on ESPN in MSG.

KC//CRIMSON
11/26/2008, 10:23 PM
they are getting way too many rebounds for being such a small team.


what they lack in size they make up for in quickness and they're kicking some *ss.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:26 PM
we're pretty lucky they were in double bonus for a long time and only shot 7 FT's. that almost seems impossible.

aurorasooner
11/26/2008, 10:29 PM
Sure hope Capel rips us a new one in the locker room and we come and smoke them in the 2nd half just to pizz off Goatweeb. 1st time I've watched us this year and it looks like last year all over. Can't hit the broad side of a barn from the outside and everyone is just watching Blake when he has the ball. Cade looks like he's improved but Taylor G. looks about the same as last year as does Leary. WTF was that bush league push-off offensive foul?

Hella Sideburns
11/26/2008, 10:35 PM
of course they call some cheap touch foul off the ball and of course they hit a 3 out of the inbounds

Soonerus
11/26/2008, 10:35 PM
OU looks scared...

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:35 PM
great start to teh 2nd half. cheap foul on Warren, and 3 for UAB.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:36 PM
Cade Davis into the box score!

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 10:37 PM
Just got back into the thread--have a sick baby, so I just got him up to watch the rest of the first half with me.

better start to this second half.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:38 PM
UAB is really dictating this game. they have us spread out on D, and pushed way out on O.

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 10:38 PM
i like seeing Blake helping their stud up. good sportsmanship is always good karma.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:38 PM
hey HEY!

Hella Sideburns
11/26/2008, 10:38 PM
that's the way to start it out

getting better shots, hitting them and we set that little midget PG on the bench.

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 10:39 PM
nice timing for Crocker to nail one.

37-37, 17:15 left.

oumartin
11/26/2008, 10:39 PM
what is up with our defense. they just dribble down the lane

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:39 PM
are we not going to guard them when they drive the lane?

Hella Sideburns
11/26/2008, 10:39 PM
i would love to see that ********** hansbrough do that

Soonerus
11/26/2008, 10:40 PM
NBA play by Blake...

Soonerus
11/26/2008, 10:40 PM
refs SUCK...

oumartin
11/26/2008, 10:41 PM
crocker needs to quit tryin' to drive. just put up the jumper.. nothing good happens when he drives

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:41 PM
we need to take advantage RIGHT NOW of them not shooting well.

oumartin
11/26/2008, 10:41 PM
nice pass by Cade

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 10:41 PM
excellent look by Cade and great finish by BG

Soonerus
11/26/2008, 10:42 PM
Blake is awesome...

Hella Sideburns
11/26/2008, 10:42 PM
yeah mike davis, you're really keeping griffin quiet

20 and 10 with 15:37 left in the half

best player in the nation

Ruuuuuufus
11/26/2008, 10:42 PM
with the amount of BS charges UAB has taken I'm surprised we haven't even thought bout stepping in front of them on defense when they are driving.

Soonerus
11/26/2008, 10:42 PM
I think we will take control...

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:42 PM
how many fouls is that on Blake, 3?

oumartin
11/26/2008, 10:44 PM
if we are gonna commit stupid touch fouls I recommend sticking the forearm in their nose once or twice and they will quit driving to the basket.

Its a simple technique and will cut that BS out

Soonerus
11/26/2008, 10:47 PM
UAB is getting lucky...

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:48 PM
transition D, guys? we look like a Ricardo Patton team after we score. GET BACK.

oumartin
11/26/2008, 10:49 PM
man, we are tough on defense

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:49 PM
2 times in a row, easy buckets.

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 10:49 PM
Sick move/dunk by BG

Soonerus
11/26/2008, 10:49 PM
AMAZING !!!!

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:50 PM
nice play by AJ

oumartin
11/26/2008, 10:50 PM
where is Warren

Soonerus
11/26/2008, 10:51 PM
where is Warren

3 fouls

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:51 PM
nice 3 by Cade. someone other tha Blake needs to start shooting the ball. we real hesitant.

oumartin
11/26/2008, 10:52 PM
I'd put him in and let him go until he got 4!

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:53 PM
I'd put him in and let him go until he got 4!

i think you'll see him about the 8 minute mark.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:54 PM
Taylor, my man.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:55 PM
how many looseball rb's are they going to turn into points?

oumartin
11/26/2008, 10:55 PM
I texted coach capel and had him go ahead and put him in

Soonerus
11/26/2008, 10:56 PM
I bet UAB end up about .500 for the year..

Soonerus
11/26/2008, 10:57 PM
Davis is probably texting during the game...being from Indiana and such...

oumartin
11/26/2008, 10:57 PM
well more than anything they are just out hustling OU. OU just seems to be in a daze out there.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 10:58 PM
I bet UAB end up about .500 for the year..

naw, they are pretty good.

Soonerus
11/26/2008, 11:00 PM
naw, they are pretty good.

It is not like either one of will remember this point at the end of the year...

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 11:00 PM
jesus Taylor, can't miss them both

Mudskipper
11/26/2008, 11:00 PM

I think our players are texting during the game.....

King Crimson

you don't speak for me. i will remember.

Soonerus
11/26/2008, 11:01 PM
Zebra's are starting to even the calls out...

Soonerus
11/26/2008, 11:02 PM

I'll bet you don't...

King Crimson

Oklahoma: 5-11 from the stripe.

oumartin

CADE

Soonerus
11/26/2008, 11:04 PM
Cade !!!!!

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 11:04 PM
yes, cade!

King Crimson

Mudskipper

this camerawork is making me dizzy

oumartin
11/26/2008, 11:05 PM
seems every team OU plays has someone that can't miss a three

Soonerus
11/26/2008, 11:07 PM
seems every team OU plays has someone that can't miss a three

jinx...

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 11:07 PM
seems every team OU plays has someone that can't miss a three

i've metioned that a couple times. another turnover.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 11:08 PM
OMG, we reboung the miss and turn it into a UAB hoop.

oumartin
11/26/2008, 11:08 PM
how was that an OU foul on the other end.. they came over AJ's back and they call croker with a foul

Soonerus
11/26/2008, 11:09 PM
refs are poor...

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 11:09 PM
big ft's from Blake

Hella Sideburns
11/26/2008, 11:10 PM
how was that an OU foul on the other end.. they came over AJ's back and they call croker with a foul

i'm still puzzled over that one

at first i thought it was an over the back on UAB, too

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 11:10 PM
make both of these Taylor.

Soonerus
11/26/2008, 11:11 PM
It is time to start playing...

oumartin
11/26/2008, 11:11 PM
FINALLY a break

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 11:11 PM
Austin Johnson dunk and one.

Mudskipper
11/26/2008, 11:13 PM
biggest lead of the game?

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 11:13 PM
Crocker!

we look like we are afraid to foul on D

oumartin
11/26/2008, 11:14 PM
One thing about this team win or lose they just don't seem to get rattled.

Mike Davis cryin' for a foul just makes me laugh..

Soonerus
11/26/2008, 11:14 PM
showtime....

oumartin
11/26/2008, 11:16 PM
Shane MacMahon in the house

King Crimson

8 point lead. 2:42.

play smart

Soonerus
11/26/2008, 11:18 PM
UAB's will is broken...

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 11:18 PM
UAB getting a little chippy.

Hella Sideburns
11/26/2008, 11:18 PM
big run here at the end to (hopefully) put it away

i once saw an episode of law and order where a guy that looked just like mike davis played a child molester

Soonerus
11/26/2008, 11:18 PM
Capel needs to lose the pencil thin mustache...

Ruuuuuufus
11/26/2008, 11:19 PM
surprised we haven't seen any of Willis tonight.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 11:19 PM
we win this game on D in the second half. and at the line.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 11:20 PM
and good to have Cade Davis back.

KC//CRIMSON
11/26/2008, 11:21 PM
Good team effort in the second half, but Cade saved our *ss.

Soonerus
11/26/2008, 11:21 PM
Blake best player ever at OU ???

did you just say Defense?

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 11:21 PM

yep

King Crimson

9 straight makes. 12 point game.

nobody will be as good in college as Wayman

Soonerus
11/26/2008, 11:23 PM
Go Sooners !!!!

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 11:24 PM
Sooners did a great job of fighting off the blahs and bringing some energy to the second half.

And KC, you're right about the free throws. This was a team that was not good there last year; hopefully this continues to get better because games will be decided there this year.

oumartin
11/26/2008, 11:24 PM
official telling Davis that they tried to screw us with the calls but just couldn't be too obvious..

Ruuuuuufus
11/26/2008, 11:24 PM
first game in a while I can remember Austin not getting a carrying call on him.

Hella Sideburns
11/26/2008, 11:24 PM
bring on purdue!

besides being just a big win in general, getting to play purdue will end up being a nice kick up to our SOS

OKC-SLC
11/26/2008, 11:24 PM
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. See you Friday for Purdue.

Soonerus
11/26/2008, 11:24 PM

Blake is at least on par...and I went to most of Wayman's game..

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 11:25 PM
alan hopkins is really short. even Mike Davis dwarfed him at halftime.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 11:27 PM
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. See you Friday for Purdue.

back at ya SLC.

this is a good W for us.

Mudskipper
11/26/2008, 11:28 PM
hope they bring more energy against Purdue, but it is good to see them push through and get the win.....

I missed watching Blake fly through the air like I have gotten used to seeing the past few games....

KC//CRIMSON
11/26/2008, 11:28 PM
alan hopkins is really short. even Mike Davis dwarfed him at halftime.


No kidding, looked like he was trying to interview Griffin's groin.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 11:29 PM
coach really tightened the bench tonight. Leary played maybe a minute. no Willis.

with Cade back.

King Crimson
11/26/2008, 11:34 PM
No kidding, looked like he was trying to interview Griffin's groin.

what do you think, 5'4"?

the top of his head was at Mike Davis' neck.

It seemed like at the first, they were a bit overwhelmed to just be playing in Madison Square Garden. Glad to see they finally settled in and played their game.

I think Cade Davis will be the big "X factor" for us this year. Blake will always get his 30 and 20, but having someone who can knock in the 3 was huge tonight, and will be huge all year.

Good 2nd half for the sooners. Lavin said this had the feel of a sweet 16 game, ill say UAB is a round of 32 level opponent and we handled them in the 2nd half at a neutral site. All positives in the 2nd half. We get a true sweet 16 opponent Friday....and in closing

(Cough) Blakes as good as Wayman (Cough)
