Will OU be 16-0........

[soonervegas]

when Texas comes in for Big Monday? or will we drop one in Houston, Fayetteville, or Manhattan?

[8timechamps]

On paper, we should be.

My one concern is the Arkansas game. It's going to be hard to get a feel for the Razorbacks before we play them. They haven't played anyone, nor will they before we visit Fayetteville.

Their lone loss is to Missouri State. It was at MSU, and every team is going to struggle a little early in the season (I guess for us, it was Gardner-Webb). MSU did lose to Tulsa 70-67 if that helps.

It's going to be a rowdy crowd, especially if we go in ranked in the top 5 (which we should).

I don't see us having much trouble with anyone other than that. Assuming we stay healthy.

I wish we were more road tested going into Pig City.That is the game that concrens me.KSu lost their difference makers from last year so I think we should win there

[PhiDeltBeers]

Doesn't look like it.

Doesn't look like it.

huh?

[adoniijahsooner]

Doesn't look like it.

Why?

[PhiDeltBeers]

Why?

I wrote that at halftime of the Rice game....we prevailed.

I figured it out after I saw the time you posted.

Have faith my son.

Arkansas has no one to stop BGriffin. We lost 3 6'10's and a 7'0" from last year. Plus, Arkansas starts true frosh at PG and SG, and a redshirt frosh at PF. This team is a couple of big men short of being "complete" IMO and only goes about 7-8 deep on the bench this year with significant minutes. They are getting better every game, but OU should win this one.

Hopefully the series continues after this year as it's a good RPI game both fan bases can enjoy.

I think this team just likes scaring us with the close games haha. I have faith we'll be undefeated and ready to crush texass when they come to town.

We may be the better team on paper, but you know how college hoops goes...

Plus, the home court advantage is a real factor in college basketball.

I agree on the home court advantage. So far we are only averaging 13,676 at home which is disappointing. However, it should be close to the 19,600 capacity on Tuesday.

Foul trouble could really hurt us. We have 4 guards who can all shoot, so hopefully that will force OU to play mostly man giving our big guy down low a little room to work. However, he has not seen anyone the likes of Griffin this year.

OU-Arky is always a good one...I'm kinda :eek: about it.

I like the Hogs, too, so I'm hoping it's a great game. You're right on target that the Hogs don't have the inside strength to stop the Griffins, so it's going to be up to the perimeter shooting that can determine this one. I'm also thinking that Rotnei Clarke is going to have a big game, being from Oklahoma and all.

Hogs keep it very interesting, but I think the Sooners' inside game is too much. I'm thinking more along the lines of a 74-67 OU win.

[PhiDeltBeers]

I'm just glad Tim Tebow's not playing.

[josh09]

Well then we'd have no chance at all, of course.

[Frozen Sooner]

I heard that the reason you can't leave the foul line until the ball hits the rim or backboard is because Tebow would purposefully miss the second half of free throws so he could jam home the miss.

Not that the rule has stopped him, of course.

[PhiDeltBeers]

He is superman, afterall.

[PhiDeltBeers]

Really doesn't look like it now.

[sooner59]

Nope, but we can still beat them.

[Soonerus]

no

[PhiDeltBeers]

I guess that pretty much wraps things up in this thread.
