OU/whorns - Monday Night

[8timechamps]

This is a big game. The Sooners need to win this game to keep pace in the conference (and win the "winable" games). Not that a loss would kill the season, but a split (at a minimum) with the whorns is almost required if the Sooners really want to make the big dance.

I think the Sooners rebound from Saturday's loss and win this one with defense.

[Blue]

I predict a beatdown of the horns. 87-68.

[SoonerInFortSmith]

I will be surprised if the Sooners put up 87.

[Blue]

Lets get it on! BOOOOOMER!!!!

[Soonerjeepman]

thinkin 60's to 50's...OU.

course I don't have cable and it's blackout on espn3...any other place online?

[Soonerjeepman]

ugh...SOONER!!!

[8timechamps]

Osby looked good on that opening play, but nobody rebounded. Damn.

[8timechamps]

I haven't seen a Texas team look this sloppy in a while. It's spectacular.

Unfortunately, we can't hit a basket.

2-2 2 minutes in.

[Blue]

Uuugly. 6-4 OU.

[Blue]

I hope all those unused T-shirts go to a worthy 3rd world country.

[Blue]

We should be blowing these fools out. 11-10 tex. 10 to go.

[Soonerjeepman]

getting out rebounded big time..course "watching" on gametracker...ugh

[Soonerjeepman]

ok, Neal..2 TO and missed shots. I just don't see it...but I'm not coach K...

[kustang619]

Looked like Neal was fouled on both TO though...

[C&CDean]

Just hit the hotel in Santa Rosa and I'm watching 2 of the ****tiest teams I've ever watched. Sheez. Bad bad basketball.

[SoonerInFortSmith]

ok, Neal..2 TO and missed shots. I just don't see it...but I'm not coach K...

Neal was fouled on both of the turnovers. That's no excuse for his sloppiness though.

[kustang619]

Sloppy.... very sloppy.

[8timechamps]

Honesty, I don't know which team is playing worse.

If OU could hit the basket, they'd be leading by 10.

[C&CDean]

****ing groan.

[Soonerjeepman]

ok...didn't see. I just haven't seen much from him the last few games. Some really bad misses and TO's.

[Soonerjeepman]

50% horns, 38% OU

[OUNASH]

Both teams are playing like crap. Very Sloppy ball.

[Soonerjeepman]

14 rb horns to 8 OU....

TO 8 for OU already

[8timechamps]

Buddy Hield is really, really good.

[Soonerjeepman]

McClellan already has 11 pts

[Soonerjeepman]

Buddy Hield is really, really good.

agree...he'll be fun for a few yrs.

[SoonerInFortSmith]

Buddy Hield is really, really good.

He could end up being the best guard at OU since Hollis Price. Potential is there.

[Soonerjeepman]

how many TO have we burned? I think 3 already?

[JLEW1818]

It's just boring.

[Soonerjeepman]

who the hell is this steve norwayt or whatever his name is?

[KABOOKIE]

Wow. Can't even make a layup

[Soonerjeepman]

Osby looks like he's back in the groove...

[8timechamps]

who the hell is this steve norwayt or whatever his name is?

Freshman forward from New Jersey. This is his first game action.

[C&CDean]

Ok. Isn't is pretty ****ing good.

[8timechamps]

who the hell is this steve norwayt or whatever his name is?

Freshman forward from New Jersey. This is his first game action.

[C&CDean]

Ok. Osby is good.

[SoonerInFortSmith]

Also Romero Osby is good!

[Soonerjeepman]

Freshman forward from New Jersey. This is his first game action.
guess he isn't redshirting? wonder if he's going to take Neal's place....

[8timechamps]

guess he isn't redshirting? wonder if he's going to take Neal's place....

I don't know anything about him, but he won't be redshirting. Wonder if he's any good?

[Soonerjeepman]

8time...
LOL before I go questioning the coaches...lol, I read his bio on the official site...hmmm....doesn't scream really good.

HS team was 17-12, he was voted most improved player, did play in some local all-star game. He is from Florida originally...wonder if Kruger met his family while in Florida...just not seeing how he stood out to OU way up in NJ

oh, his dad is asst director of player dev for the Phillies..

[Blue]

Wooooow! Heild to MBaye!

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Okay, I'm gonna say it.

The Sooners are officially pretty dad gummed good!

[Blue]

Osby fer 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Blue]

50-38 OU. Might not get 87 but Im shooting for a 20 point win.

[Soonerjeepman]

Osby has almost half the points...

[Blue]

Keep givin it to him!

[SoonerInFortSmith]

Pledger is having a rough night.

[Blue]

Its fun watching a team that looks to be actually COACHED.

Hornbeak fer 3!!!!

[Soonerjeepman]

scoring in spurts...both teams. We hit our FT we should be good..need to play good D.

[Blue]

5 count is so dumb when someone is dribbling and moving.

[8timechamps]

If the Sooners would have shot better in the first half, they'd be up by 20!

[Blue]

Wooooooooooooooooooooo Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooo MBaye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[8timechamps]

M'Baye is the ally-oop king tonight!

[Blue]

Buddy Hield might be a Balla!!!!!

You called it 8time!

[Soonerjeepman]

wow bench scoring...43 - 7 ut...

[Blue]

Great job on free throws. 69-59 OU

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

1:30 to go. Up by 7. Dang offensive board and trey by the Whorns.

[Blue]

wow bench scoring...43 - 7 ut...



If that doesnt say rebuilding year, I don't know what does. Alotta talent out there for ut, but very young.

[Soonerus]

Tell me please, the crowd is not chanting "Let's play football"...geez...

[KABOOKIE]

Choke.

[Soonerjeepman]

ANOTHER offensive rebound and 3...frick..cmon Sooners..

[Blue]

Grooms does not need to be playing. He can't shoot!

[KABOOKIE]

18 chances for ut. Oh well down goes the streak

[Blue]

Great job Sooners! And good luck w/ the next 3...;)

[Soonerjeepman]

good win...I think besides tcu all the games will be tough.

still going with 9/9, maybe 10/8..but that is an improvement!!!

[Soonerus]

11-7

[Soonerjeepman]

Grooms does not need to be playing. He can't shoot!

substitute Grooms with Neal...I haven't seen anything this season to show Neal needs more than 2-3 min a game. I'm thinking since the new kid from New Jersey played he might have taken Neal spot.

[Soonerjeepman]

11-7

who we double up on?

[Blue]

Grooms is great w/ ball handling (maybe why he was in late) but dang, he cant hit more than 1 out of 2 free throws.

[Soonerus]

[QUOTE=Soonerjeepman;3579933]who we double up on?[/QUOTE

Several possibilities, UT, OSU, etc...

[kevpks]

So which whorn team wins a conference game first: women's basketball, men's basketball, or baseball? I'm going with the latter. Baseball season starts pretty soon.

[TopDog8025]

Nice win! They gave us a little scare there at the end. Osby was an absolute BEAST tonight. Those M'Baye slams were sick, saw one of the Sportcenter top 10 earlier. Recap here as per the usual ;) http://isportsweb.com/?p=197780 and Boomer Sooner! Texas sucks!

[Sooner95]

Good times! Got a couple of tough road games coming up.

[Boomer.....]

Good win on a big stage. It wasn't pretty a lot of the time, but we found a way to beat the whorns.

[Soonerjeepman]

[QUOTE=Soonerjeepman;3579933]who we double up on?[/QUOTE

guess OU could but I see those as games they could just as easily loose. After watching bu/osu in waco I do think we have as good as chance as not in beating the bears in Norman.

50/50 games on the road: osu, ut, tt

20/80 games on road OU looses: bu, isu, (ku yes a long shot to win but never say never)

80/20 games on road OU wins: tcu

Home games

50/50 win: ku
80/20 win: isu, ksu, bu
90/10: tcu, wv

just bored... ;-)

[badger]

Thank you, LNC crowd.

Beating Texas never gets old, even if they place the game at 8 effing 30 :mad:

(yes, being parent means you suddenly value sleep more than sports at night)

[Bourbon St Sooner]

substitute Grooms with Neal...I haven't seen anything this season to show Neal needs more than 2-3 min a game. I'm thinking since the new kid from New Jersey played he might have taken Neal spot.

I've seen times when we need Grooms, such as against UTA and K-State where we couldn't get the ball across mid-court. But yeah, the guy is no threat to score. At one time I think we had a lineup of Grooms, Osby, Pledger, Cousins and Clark and I thought they should put 4 guys on Osby and 1 on Pledge and dare anyone else to shoot.

lol...that's pretty good. Yeah, Grooms is a pg for sure, but man, no hitting FT's especially if the ball is in your hands at the end is not good. I've not been impressed with Clark up until lately. Against TT he took safe good open shots and made them...but his shot is not pretty that's for sure. A win is a win though.

what is this air guitar thing...?

got to watch it..great ally oops

[badger]

I'll take the bait if this is actually rhetorical: Hold a "three" in one hand, strum with the other. It's like our bench three-pointer celebration this year :)

If you check out the meltdown thread, UT fans hated it Hook em

[Boomer.....]

I read that it could mean "string music" because it was a swish (nothing but net). Not sure, but at least the bench is full of life and having a lot of fun.

[Soonerjeepman]

lol..no bait Badge..I really didn't get it...

love the fun, but it's kind of ummm..."yeah right" if it's the guys that don't play. Just my old grumpy man opinion, course I'm not much on any celebration. Just let the score board do the talking.

I personally love it and while I have not attended any games yet this season, I am picturing the entire (full!) student section doing the exact same thing as our bench after seeing them do it in previous games... so if they want to be our head cheerleaders? Cool. Why not?
