How much effort is Lon putting into this Sooner basketball experiment?

SS.com tweet: Lon signing 1,000 hats for a Saturday giveaway (https://twitter.com/#!/SoonerSportscom/status/165137580386553856/photo/1)

I wish I could go to the game. Will be cheering lots from Tulsa :)

[Bourbon St Sooner]

Damn, wish I could go!

Ia State's been playing over their heads. Time for reality to strike.

We can sweep all the state schools in this dysfunctional conference!

:stunned: <<<< doesn't count

[badger]

So apparently the coaches not only signed the hats, but designed them too. Cool! Check out Sherri interview on it here:

[Boomer.....]

I wish I could go and get one of the hats. :(

[StoopTroup]

I wish I could get Sherri to sign something personal for me. :D

Key home game tonight. We need to come out fired up!

[Soonerjeepman]

If we can hold at home..or pick one up on the road...out of these last 9 games we should end up 18-12...enough to get us into the NIT and MAYBE NCAA if we can win 2 in the Big12...which after the last 2 seasons would be HUGE...I'll take the NIT as well...

White is load..he will be tough to stop...

[CowboyMRW]

ISU comes out shooting from 3 deadly. Started like 5-7

[StoopTroup]

I've thought it possible that we make the NCAA. Definitely see us in the NIT and if we were able to do well in the NIT...i think that would say alot about what our expectations should be in 2013.

[StoopTroup]

UNC screwed Maryland. Thought Maryland might have their # today.

[StoopTroup]

OSBY!

[badger]

Away from tv, can only.get score update. Any info you guys can provide would be awesome

[StoopTroup]

ISU shooting like it's their own court

[CowboyMRW]

ISU is 7-10 from 3. Ridiculous.

[CowboyMRW]

Also, how's my avatar Badger?

[CowboyMRW]

32-24 ISU. Now 8/11 from 3.

[StoopTroup]

Lon just took a big slug of water and is wearing a gray suit with a Crimson tie. :D

[StoopTroup]

32-28 ISU

[StoopTroup]

35-28 another 3 by ISU

[StoopTroup]

We gave an ISU Player some shoes as he evidently only brought one pair. Announcers says they would have given him a pair two sizes to small....lol

[kevpks]

The 3s. Make it stop!

[kevpks]

What a flop! BS charging call.

[badger]

Also, how's my avatar Badger?

I m sure that its wonderful but i'm only on my phone so i cant really see it

[Sooner95]

Pretty good 1st half. Friggin ISU cannot keep up this 3pt shooting can they??

We need to keep pounding them down low, rack up the fouls. We were in the bonus fairly early. Have to step up our perimeter defense as well. Leaving these guys wide open several times and they are far to good of shooters to do that.

Looks like a good crowd, probably best of the year.


38-36 ISU Halftime

[Sooner95]

Attack of the snowcone!

Someone get that kid another one! :D

[StoopTroup]

I made margaritas for the Wife at halftime. I'm gonna score more than OU tonight. :D

[StoopTroup]

A McDs Caramel Mocha Coffee would really hit the spot after scoring in the 2nd half.

[StoopTroup]

Another 3 raining down on us....

10 point lead...Time Out OU

[StoopTroup]

Not sure our guys are up to playing these guys. ISU is passing the ball well and when the open man gets a shot...they are nailing it. We keep trying to go inside the lane with the ball and we get a shot...it rolls out and we don't rebound.

[StoopTroup]

Pretty good 1st half. Friggin ISU cannot keep up this 3pt shooting can they??


I'm afraid so...

[StoopTroup]

50-43 ISU

[StoopTroup]

52-45 ISU

[oumartin]

My gosh Osby was set and outside the circle and they still call that a blocking foul.

[Sooner95]

Man..we've kind of abandoned the low post game here in the 2nd half. And yea, ISU has some shooters. Plain and simple.

[StoopTroup]

55-48 ISU 10:47 left

Lon still has his jacket on

[Eielson]

ISU has SHOT 14 two pointers, and has MADE 13 three pointers.

[Eielson]

Jalen Rose is a terrible announcer.

[Sooner95]

SP heatin up!

[oumartin]

Pledger with back to back threes

[Sooner95]

These open 3's are KILLERS!

[oumartin]

Yep, not hard to make 14 threes in a game when they are as wide open as most of these have been

[LRoss]

Jalen Rose is a terrible announcer.

Network Exec 1: "Let's find a good color guy -- somebody who doesn't need the spotlight and will easily and naturally make it his role to compliment the play-by-play and strengthen the team."

Network Exec 2: "Hmmm. How about a scorer who's used to taking every shot he could find?"

Network Exec 1: "Brilliant! It's a perfect fit!"

[kevpks]

The next Cyclone that goes up for a three needs to be fouled into the third row. They have a better chance of missing free throws.

[Eielson]

Yep, not hard to make 14 threes in a game when they are as wide open as most of these have been

It's what happens when you hold one of the best players in the conference to 1 point.

[Sooner95]

****

[Eielson]

Sam Grooms pulls a Carl Blair. That could do it.

[kevpks]

Better point guard play would have won us a lot of games this year.

[Sooner95]

Tough loss.. ESPN.com feel free to take us off the Bubble list.. DAMMIT

[StoopTroup]

3-7 in the Conference. I thought we might do better than that at this point. I'm a bit disappointed.

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Drat! That was a painful loss.

Well, lace 'em up tomorrow and keep soldiering on!
