[Sooner95]

Little extra activity...no issues. trying to close it up before halftime.

39-27 34sec

[Sooner95]

Considering how ****ty we played...it could be much worse.

40-27 Halftime.

[Mookie91]

Really don't know what Cousins' was thinking, or if he does based on his constant expression:emptiness:

[OkieThunderLion]

Cousins was pissed because he got fouled on the 3 point attempt the previous time down the court.

[Sooner95]

Gotta be better there though.

Half time adjustments. Close out on the perimeter defense. Get the to ball. Drive to the bucket and the our bigs involved.

[birddog]

Well we're in range. Whatre we shooting 30%?

[Sooner95]

Yea, 37%... they are over 50% from the field and 45% from 3. That should not be sustainable.

[Sooner95]

Out firing. down to 8...

[Sooner95]

Alright!!

couple of threes and some buckets falling!

Weak. Good comeback but shoulda came to play the whole game.

Dammit

Damn. Oh well.

[Sooner95]

Final 69-67 WA.


Good comeback, we just got ourselves down to much. Spent the 2nd half recovering.

[OkieThunderLion]

Big 12 slate looks brutal. These 3 non conference losses might hurt.

[Sooner95]

They'll hurt, but at least we have them on our schedule. We need Butler and UCLA to pick up their pieces and have good years. Also, the 3 teams we lost too, to have good seasons.

Big12 will boost our RPI automatically just being in it. We will be fine, just need to -play from start to finish. we did not do that tonight.

[Soonerjeepman]

I know y'all missed me...lol. At GF's. Christmas "movie night"...ugh. Caught the last 7 min. so I'm actually glad. I would have been pissed. After I heard we were down by 17? I figured we'd get close but not over the hump. I've watched TOO many OU teams, football, baseball, softball, basketball...that have to work too hard in comebacks.

Having lost all 3 of these sucks. Cousin's actually shot well, looked like. He's playing better, but Buddy has totally disappeared it seems. Thomas should have gone strong to the hole and gotten the foul.

[SoonerMarkVA]

They were letting them play pretty good. I seriously doubt they would have given Thomas any foul unless he threw down a dunk. Pretty much everything he put up for the backboard, they let 'em play (really for the most part at both ends; they were just letting the players tough it out).

I personally though Cousins earned the chance to take that last opportunity. He played a really solid game.

[OkieThunderLion]

Cousins is definitely the best player on the team right now.

Shocked the last play didn't go thru him.
