[Blue]

Boomer!

Prediction 75 72 OU.

[birddog]

From the delicates of my beautiful girl in Edmond...

SOOOOONER!

See you aholes tomorrow

[badger]

The last OU MBB game I attended in person was Capel's final year before firing. The KU fans attended LNC en masse and they had yellow shirts stationed around the lower bowl checking ticket stubs to make sure no blue shirts made it closer to the court to serenade Rock Chalk than necessary.

The KU fans by us were actually quite cordial, seemingly knowing how pathetic we had become and didn't give us too much grief. They even giggled when I was all like "SOMEBODY COVER MORNINGSTAR... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" as he got passed for a wide open three which of course he sank because that's ALL. HE. DID.

But yes they did ROCK CHALK by the end of that game and that was sad, but at least it took them till the closing minutes to start it. We held onto the game longer than we should, much like we held onto Capel longer than we should have.

If you are willing to sink more vCash into this MBB team, there is now a vBookie event active. 10 to 1 for any margin of victory; 25 to 1 if you think we'll win by 5 or more. If you're a know it all nancy who thinks KU will bounce back after losing at ISU a few days ago... good for you! 1 to 1000 payoff if you choose the jayjays. :mad:

[Soonerjeepman]

I'm mixed on this game....as I said in the *other thread.

Watching ku against clones....they definitely are a finesse team. IF the officials let it go a little we can hang with them. They again have the length. Ellis can step out and hit the 3 and at 6'10 that's huge. I think Woodard and Walker will be able to drive, but they'll be bigs down low to stop that.

Have to play very smart. Push when we can. Cousins and Hield will need to be on point offensively.

Like you guys in Okla...osu fans can be miserable...in Ks hawk fans are the same...a win would be nice.

[birddog]

Well, I phoned it in at work so I could throw some beers down my gullet before tip off. These big Mondays meant a lot more to me in 2001 with Hollis and co. but a win tonight would mean more to the fans than any win in Leon Krogers tenure. Ok, few more reebs then it's go time!

[birddog]

So, 3.2 beer huh? Yeah, I better go buy a case.

[Blue]

These slow starts are getting old. Take care of the ball! 8-2 ku

[Blue]

Hielf fer 3!!!

8-7 ku

[Blue]

We play really dumb sometimes. 10-9 ku.

[Blue]

We're playing decent but Thomas is a turnover machine and ku is making everything. 20-13 ku 13:35

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Lon shoulda called a time out after that second three from Kansas. They aren't missing music, and we definately can't answer

[Eielson]

KU just can't miss a 3. 6-6 and that's the difference in this game. We've gone ice cold on offense.

[Blue]

And just like that we are down 20. This team cant even make it enjoyable for more than 10 minutes.

Close to turning this off and close to not giving a **** about this team.

[Eielson]

7-7 now. I'm just about done.

[Eielson]

I thought they had finally missed a 3...but nope! Came back and in.

8-8.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Is that 8 for 8 on threes? Jeebus! Quit letting them take those open threes!! That's ridiculous!!

[Eielson]

I don't have the statistics in front of me, but I think we've been great defending the 3 all year. KU is just shooting lights out.

Not fair.

[Eielson]

We've held opponents to 28.5% from 3 this year...93-236

[Eielson]

KU finally misses from 3!

And again!

And again!

They're only 8-11 now...

[Eielson]

Cut the lead to 15....

:/

[birddog]

Go on...

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Sloppy sloppy sloppy

[Eielson]

Selden hits another 3...back to 16

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

And yet another 3-ball from teh kittahs

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

I guess rebounding wasn't part of tonight's gameplan....smh

[Eielson]

Lattin can't develop fast enough.

[Blue]

We're really just a slightly above average team. That's all.

One of the sloppiest/clumsiest teams I've ever seen too.

[Eielson]

I've seen enough of Bennett. So soft.

The lead is back to 19...whether or not this game stays on after half is TBD.

[Blue]

51-32 Half Yay. Another great showing.

[Eielson]

It's really not sloppiness that's killing us. We've got 9 turnovers, but they've got 8.

It all comes down to the fact that they're 9-13 from 3, and we're 3-10.

[Blue]

There was a lot of standing around not rebounding while ku got 2nd chance after 2nd chance at those 3. We just play stupid if you ask me.

[birddog]

Might be time to give badger some material for her meltdown thread. Winning there is like ku stealing a football game in Norman. This conference is loaded with teams that can beat anyone sans Kentucky

[Eielson]

Bennett was getting abused by Alexander.

[SoonerMarkVA]

Why is it KU plays like the top NBA team against us, year in and year out, and then goes on to lose to some 12 seed in the tourney?

[Blue]

9-0 run to start 2nd half. 51-41 ku . Lets go.

[Eielson]

KU comes out and misses their first 3 3 pointers, and we're back to a 10 point game!

I don't think Cliff Alexander is in, either.

[Eielson]

Alexander checks in...

[Eielson]

One possession in...and Alexander already has another offensive rebound.

[Eielson]

Woodard drives in and scores with the foul.

FT after the break to cut this to single digits

[Eielson]

Cliff grabbed another offensive rebound...

[Eielson]

After starting this game 8-8 from three and building a 20 point lead, KU has missed 9 of it's last 10, and we're down to a 4 point game.

Now if we can figure out how to keep Alexander off the boards.

[Blue]

Are yu kidding me? 54-50 despite Thomas being a total turnover machine buzzkill.

[Blue]

Cousins fer 3!!!

Down 1???!!

[Eielson]

We're all tied up...and Buddy is heating up!

[Eielson]

LOLOL at "Cousins is gonna make money someday"

Racist.

[Eielson]

It's official! We're up for the first time.

60-59. 10:11 to go.

[Mookie91]

Great run, Buddy still scares me seems to be a bit of a headcase

[Blue]

66-65 OU 5:28. Bennet has been huge in place of a benched Thomas.

[Blue]

Buddy And 1!

[Eielson]

Big play by Buddy!

69-65 with 4:56

Alexander subbing back in...

[Eielson]

Buddy got his legs taken out from under him on a 3...shoulda been a foul

[Blue]

69-69 4 to go...lets go!

[Eielson]

69-69. 3:45 to go.

We're shooting FT's after break.

[Blue]

Go sit down Thomas...damn! 73-71 ku

[Eielson]

Oubre gets away with an over the back and they knock down a 3 to take a 2 point lead...

That really, really hurts. Then we charge on offense.

[Eielson]

Cousins with a HUGE 3 to keep this from getting a way.

Down 1, 2 minutes.

[Blue]

Cousins fer 3!!1

77-74 ku 1:50

[Eielson]

Cousins comes right back...but no.

KU scores. Down 5 with 1:12 to go. Our ball.

[Blue]

well ****. tayshawn is the mvp tonight. For Kansas.

[soonercastor]

Talk about blue balls

[Eielson]

79-76. 1:04.

[Eielson]

81-76. They're shooting FT's.

Not looking good. Bad start. Bad finish.

[Blue]

Tough loss. They showed some character though.

[Eielson]

Can't tell from that angle. Definitely not indisputable, but this is KU...so they're going to get it again.

[Eielson]

I stand corrected. Refs got it right.

82-78. 28.7 to go. Their ball.

[Eielson]

Another review. Lon has the chance to draw up a set play with 21.2. A 3 and we're back in this.

[Eielson]

Missed. KU is shooting the ball, up 5.

This one is over.

[Eielson]

I really thought we had this one.

[Blue]

I really thought we had this one.

Me too. If Thomas shows up at all we do. Hopefully he and Woodard will be contributing along w/ spangler cousins and Hield come tourney time. That's the only way we make a run. Learn how to play more as a team. And I think we will.

[hawaii 5-0]

Some 'no calls at the end doomed the Soomers.

Great effort to come back from so far.

The outcome coulda been different in Norman.

5-0

[birddog]

Way too much to overcome. I like how determined they came out after half but dang it'd be nice to actually win a game they weren't expected to.

[Soonerjeepman]

I was in total shock after the first 10 minutes...ku could not miss, which I figured wouldn't continue, but Thomas had 3 TO's we played like crap....and Lon didn't call his usual TO til it was a 20 pt lead. Guess, he knows more...lol.

2nd half, wow, what a comeback. I figured we'd make a run, but fall short since we weren't using the bench much....run out of gas. Then we took the lead. It gives me hope we can get them in Norman. Really wanted this one...I hate ku fans.

[badger]

Funny story about last night... I was determinedly staring at my iPad as husband NP watched the game for both of us, because when I was watching the game more closely we fell to that damn 19-point halftime deficit. Alas, the comeback was not meant to be.

Kudos the Big 12 refs for not giving KU 42 home free throws once again. It was embarrassing to both KU and the conference to get that type of home treatment last week.

I loved (or rather, loathed) the KU fan whining at every call that went against the jayjays. Oh, poor us! We've won the Big 12 a billion seasons in a row but thaaaatsssss noooot faaaaaaaaaairrrrrrrrr :rolleyes:

I'm really looking forward to someone dethroning them, or at least making them share. One true champion? Oh no no no no NO NO NOOOOOOO this is the Big 12, beyonces. You do NOT crown a sole champion here. Hell, we're probably going to have the conference tourney end in a tie, aren't we.

[Soonerjeepman]

lol...try living up here...

yeah the one that went off of cousin's foot but they didn't have enough to reverse call was questionable...but the 2nd one that Buddy lost was totally off the ku player but a friend I was texting was like "that's ours as well..." I told him he needed to get his eye's checked. I'd give him the first one, but no way in hell the 2nd one was theirs...typical ku fans.

[badger]

It is actually a good thing that KU is good at basketball, because if their bball wins were as scarce as their football wins, do you know how many rims or scoreboards or whatever the hell fans can take down from their sporting apparatus would be torn down?

Exhibit A: KU football victory over sh!tty Iowa State 34-14:
Phck6yF_D84

Exhibit B: KU football victory in 2013 over sh!tty (they were bad in 2013) West Virginia:

I hope KU is using sustainable, cruelty-free organic goalposts :P
