Well, let's see what we are made of. Coming off of a tough loss this should test our mettle and see if we can bounce back at home.

Shots not falling so far. 7-4 Baylor.

Sounds fairly loud and looks like a good student crowd.

1/24/2012, 08:25 PM
Certainly hope not...

badger

If only baylor could miss more threes this would not be a 10 point deficit

We cant afford to be having scoreless possessions and expect to stay in this game.

badger
1/24/2012, 08:30 PM
Well if we cant score at least we're not letting them score. Good guys down 8 with 8 left in the first half

badger
1/24/2012, 08:33 PM
Arrrrrgh

1/24/2012, 08:34 PM
we are so outsized...and not deep at all...

ok, so our zone offense is to have the guards stand around....do an elementary hi/lo post...
got to penetrate...

badger
1/24/2012, 08:36 PM
Not to jinx us, but baylors shots are no longer falling. Ou down 6 with just under 6 left.

But it can change, so keep up the defensive pressure guys!

Ou down 4 now

Sooner95
1/24/2012, 08:36 PM
nice little run here. Down by 4..

We are outsized for sure. But I like what Kruger has our guys doing against the zone.

Soonerjeepman
1/24/2012, 08:42 PM
**** 5/6 to start the game...6/10 now...wow..from the 3

Soonerjeepman
1/24/2012, 08:43 PM
ok...not sayin I'm smarter than Kruger...but why are our guards lining up directly in front of the D...got to move...good cut by Osby...

Soonerjeepman
1/24/2012, 08:44 PM
good pump fake Pledg...c'mon guys...

Boomer.....
1/24/2012, 08:45 PM
Back within 5 with under 2 minutes left in the first half.

badger
1/24/2012, 08:45 PM
I love their effort and romero being aggressive. Ou down 5 with two minute left in the first

badger
1/24/2012, 08:47 PM
Baylor so talented but undisciplined. Its like i'm watching a bad nba team

Sooner95
1/24/2012, 08:49 PM
Yea, that's what will probably keep them from advancing in the tourney..

Sooner95
1/24/2012, 08:50 PM
Nice first half. We're playing them tough. 35-30

badger
1/24/2012, 08:50 PM
I like the crowd's energy

Soonerjeepman
1/24/2012, 08:50 PM
ok...better...need to come out strong D and hit some shots...bu ball after half..

Boomer.....

It looks like the yellow shirts are not there and people are filling the lower bowl. Hopefully they will start doing that.

Regardless of the outcome of this game it is obvious how good of a coach Kruger is. He has the boys playing disciplined, smart basketball. Our defense has gotten steadily better as the season has gone on. Very excited about the future of the program!

Motel 6 ads lol. We used to stay at motel 6 when parents would take us on endless car ride vacations. Some people fly their families to disneyworld. We loaded up the plymouth horizon, dad would never drive faster than 55 on the interstate, and we would constantly have to stop in random spots so he could look at birds.

This boring car ride was made possible by the cheapest lodging known to man, motel 6. Can we stay at a place with a pool? Nooooo we are gonna find a motel 6. And when we get there, no watching anything except the weather channel. Wanna watch nickelodeon? Too bad... unless its nick at nite.

Dad still has the nasty habit of grabbing the remote when he visits. Even during sooner football games :mad:

What was i talking about? Oh yeah, motel 6. My dad snores!!!!

badger
1/24/2012, 09:02 PM
Phillips 66 ad lol... notice how you can see the good schools' hats but not the minor ones. Baylor? I think they show it briefly at the beginning. Oklahoma state? We'll stick it somewhere behind the big boys :D

badger
1/24/2012, 09:04 PM
Did you know that endless pools can be enjoyed in your backyard OR home? I think i'm gonna not get one of those no matter how many dozen times i see that ad

badger
1/24/2012, 09:06 PM
Hi its me max at blue tax. This computer generated ad cost us five cents to make. I laugh like the pillsbury dough boy. Why do my lawyers and crowd have no faces? Hoo hoo hoo!

badger
1/24/2012, 09:07 PM
Ok halftime over, no more ad analysis!

Ruh roh... the students now have skinny balloons!!! :D

Soonerjeepman
1/24/2012, 09:07 PM
We are outsized for sure. But I like what Kruger has our guys doing against the zone.

really? the first 15 min we stood around and passed the ball around the perimeter...without the guards cutting, screening or moving at all.....

Soonerjeepman
1/24/2012, 09:09 PM
nice run

badger
1/24/2012, 09:10 PM
Be loud for the rest of us at home, crowd! Wish i could be there

Soonerjeepman
1/24/2012, 09:11 PM
lol Badge...I like the new cable commercials...frustration..eye patch...be tough...get beat up...and the new one with the little girl...slaps teachers tray...hangs out with thugs...get married to thug...give you a baby with a dog collar...not sure if you get them down there...

I think Fitz and Osby wworking to find openings in the paint was a sound strategy. If we had been settling for long jumpers by our guards it woulda been a different story.

Soonerjeepman
1/24/2012, 09:13 PM
jeeze clark....that's the one thing about clark..once he hits a few he thinks he can hit them all...

Boomer.....
1/24/2012, 09:15 PM
He has been shooting great. He just rushed that last one.

badger
1/24/2012, 09:18 PM
I think you get different ads on yours. You must not be watching the local broadcast channel, heh.

Baylor has soooo much talent... that is soooo undisciplined that they wll all be in foul trouble and we can free throw this game into a five hour boringfest!!!!

badger
1/24/2012, 09:21 PM

I totally agree....but I think our guards need to move more though...that's what we did when I coached..

badger
1/24/2012, 09:24 PM
Even though we are headed for a loss likely, i love that romero is channeling blake griffinhere

Soonerjeepman
1/24/2012, 09:26 PM
c'mon boys....

Soonerjeepman
1/24/2012, 09:28 PM
I only hope the other cat that came from Wyoming turns out as good....all we heard last yr was how great a player Osby was...proving it now

...I've heard the announcers in other games say the same thing about the Wyoming guy...

badger
1/24/2012, 09:29 PM
I really want to be wrong. I vBet about 6k vCash on ou beating baylor.

Baylor is so athletic and talented... but they are also so sloppy and lost.

Its like they're coached by felton j. The third lol.

Soonerjeepman
1/24/2012, 09:29 PM
ok...see what happens...our subs against the starters of bu....

Soonerjeepman
1/24/2012, 09:30 PM
can you imagine Krug or Self with this talent...wow..

badger
1/24/2012, 09:31 PM
I think baylor wins this somehow some way, but i am holding out hope that awesome defense, rebounding, shot selection and baylor ineptitude will lead us to victory.

Anyone know what baylor's foul situation is?

Soonerjeepman
1/24/2012, 09:35 PM
nope...know we just got called for a bs foul..twice from the ref way up top..

I agree though..we get close but both halves we gave up 5/6 bucket to bu..not a good way to start..

oh and the commercials I talked about are not on tonight...it was during the patriots game on sunday...

SoonerInFortSmith
1/24/2012, 09:37 PM
Speaking of fouls they are calling stupid touch fouls on the Sooners now. Great

badger
1/24/2012, 09:37 PM
I wish billy tubbs was calling this game so he could give awesome ref commentary like he does for womens games :)

Soonerjeepman
1/24/2012, 09:38 PM
c'mon....MOVE...find the short corner...

badger
1/24/2012, 09:40 PM
Never give up guys. Leave that to us fans hehe. :)

Love the crowd tonite though. You'd think we we on the verge of beating a top ten team or something lol

Soonerjeepman
1/24/2012, 09:40 PM
guards need to get deeper on the wing...

maybe Grooms hitting will draw them out..

badger
1/24/2012, 09:42 PM
The baylor coach is cracking me up. He is going hyper like travis ford with about the same results.

Ou by 2 with four and a half left

Soonerjeepman
1/24/2012, 09:44 PM
wow...guess no push off...hmmm...ok..

badger
1/24/2012, 09:46 PM
Ouu down 6 with four mins left and baylor about to get a free throw.

Baylor sooo fast... and taller... soooo unfair. Their brainless coach must be an aau runner to get a team this talented despite his incompetence.

badger
1/24/2012, 09:48 PM
Ou now in bonus down 7. About two mins left.

1/24/2012, 09:50 PM

1/24/2012, 09:50 PM
Quincy acy fouls out... or not? Shoot they reversed the call :(

Soonerjeepman
1/24/2012, 09:50 PM
honestly thought we fouled before the shot...no charge..

badger
1/24/2012, 09:53 PM
Cam clark fouls out. Crowd really angry now

Soonerjeepman
1/24/2012, 09:55 PM
well...again, we just don't have the bench or overall talent...I do think next yr we'll be much more improved...all 5 starters back...the 6'10 transfer, 2 6'5 wings and 2 6'7 SF....

Eielson
1/24/2012, 10:05 PM
We're good enough to beat anybody at home.

badger
1/24/2012, 10:07 PM
Still proud of this team, even though I'm practically vBroke and back on vWelfare now since we lost above and beyond the point spread.

I like the effort and hustle and energy and aggressive-not-passive moving of the ball and shots and rebounding.

I'd totally stand next to the court and high five em all afteward. Good job guys. You'll get em next time.

Soonerjeepman
1/24/2012, 10:40 PM
agreed...much more enjoyable to watch this yr...but for Eieison...have to politely disagree...we hustle and work hard but there is a reason we are not in the top 20..

I went to the game as a Baylor fan, but there is no way that I can ever root against Oklahoma. So I just cheered both teams. It was obvious that Baylor had the talent advantage, but I liked how the scrappy OU team out hustled Baylor at times and got the crowd into it. Good game for both teams!

Next Baylor invasion is this Thursday! Ahem...Sic'em you might need to warn people again.

badger
1/25/2012, 08:18 AM
Did you all prepare your anuses? I forgot to remind you.

A top ten team nearly loses to an unranked team that hasn't been to the postseason in several years? Yeah, our anuses are just fine, thank you very much. Yours on the other hand, must have been wearing protective gear when we only trailed by two with a four minutes left

You'll know we're better if all 5 starters this year aren't starting next year. Sorry, reality is cruel.

Pledge is an awesome shooter.

Romero is an aggressive rebounder and dunker.

Grooms is a pretty good point guard.

The other two spots I might agree with you, but those three I think will be solid Big 12-quality starters next year

Anyone know who those pathetic refs were tonight? I had never seen any of them before. It's like they came from another conference. They were the worst I have seen in some time.

The better team won the game, but you had the feeling that the refs were there to make sure of it.

Eielson
1/25/2012, 10:30 PM
We don't need any new starters to go to the Sweet 16. We just need a couple more contributors off the bench...and looking at our transfer and our incoming freshmen, I think we'll get them.

It would also help if Clark played up to his potential.

Maybe that didn't come across right. I didn't mean that all 5 starters should be replaced. But hopefully a couple get beat out. Osby is an outstanding player. He reminds me a lot of Ace McGhee. Pledge is a nice player. On a top notch team he'd probably be providing scoring off the bench. Grooms is a good pg, but he's a distributor. When you're a pg that can't score you need to have scorere to distribute it to. We just don't have that right now.

sorry to disagree...it's because we are not that good....can we win a game or 2 we are not SUPPOSE to win..sure....I LOVE this teams' attitude and work ethic, hustle..you name it...reminds me of some of KS's teams...not long on talent but big on heart and hussle...but with that said I think they are still learning that...next year we'll be a much improved team with a few other players...

I'm not talking about the talent or how good a team we are. All I said is that we can beat any team if we're playing at home. We just brought in two top 10 teams, and although they both pulled it out, I don't think either one of them is anxious to come back. We've also convincingly beaten K-State, Arkansas, and any ever other team that has come here.
