Sooner's down in Waco

[Sooner95]

Kind of a key game, although a Conf road game, we need to handle BU like we did in Norman.

Got some winnable games coming up over our next 5 and we need to start a winning streak here to get back on track.

[birddog]

I'm watching. Seems like a game we will lose just looking at circumstances. 9-2. Early.

[Sooner95]

Yea crap start here.

[Sooner95]

8 offensive boards keeping us in this thing right now...

[Sooner95]

we can't make anything...

[SoonerorLater]

Am I going to have to turn this game off this early in the first half?

[Sooner95]

That was a solid pass from Lattin.

Stop with the 3's and work it inside.

[Blue]

If we don't start playing smarter, we will be one an done come March.

[Mookie91]

Buddy never saw a shot he didn't like :)

[Sooner95]

Agree Blue, just not playing to our strengths. Ball movement, inside/out has been our strengths IMO. Establish the inside game be it drives, cuts and good old post up moves. That will open up the 3 game. We force to many from the outside and the defense begins to sag. Very frustrating.

[SoonerorLater]

Whatever happened to the concept of a low post game?

[Mookie91]

I hope we make it to the tourney, not a given

Both Thomas and Spangler suffer from the "modern" basketball curse, can't play with their back to the basket they have to catch away from the hoop and square up.

[Sooner95]

STOP SHOOTING 3s with 28sec on the effin shot clock!!

[Sooner95]

27-22 50sec 1st half. Lets end the half on an up note boys.

[Sooner95]

Perfect.

[Sooner95]

Son of a bi... SIGH


ok, only down 6 at the half considering we shot like crap.

[Sooner95]

You can take that thumb and...lol

[SoonerorLater]

Just kind of an ugly game. Unless OU figures out a better way to work the high/low post game or the 3 point shooting improves dramatically we are sunk.

[Sooner95]

Agree with that.

[Sooner95]

hey hey Hey..

[Sooner95]

Got a ball game now. Good run out of the gate!

[Sooner95]

Yea! 40 all, 11:11 to go.

[birddog]

stickin around!

[birddog]

Up 3. Lon can coach circles around drew.

[Sooner95]

Well...that sucked. Down by 7.

[SoonerorLater]

Collapse.

[Sooner95]

Yea, that may do it..

[SoonerorLater]

This is a team working it's way out of the NCAA Tournament.

[Sooner95]

12-7, we might not be ranked after this one. And maybe we shouldn't be.

[Sooner95]

69-58 loss.

Got TT at home on Weds.

[birddog]

Most inconsistent team I've seen in a long time.

[Mookie91]

Not sure what's in the water but both the football team and now the basketball team seem to not have any heart

[Sooner95]

I don't think it's heart, its just execution.

This team has talented players but they just do not play well and use the strengths of this team.

Too many quick shots, particularly behind the arc. Not enough ball movement, interior shots/drives being pursued. Thomas and Spangler should be easily getting 15pts 10 boards combined each game. That opens up the guard play, which we have good ones, Hield would get his. Woodard has shown moments of knocking down an outside shot. He needs to drive to the bucket more, draw in the defense.

This team disappoints me more than anything because I know we are better than 12-7.

Lon has got to get this into their heads. If this continues, ya we may be a tourney team, but an 8-9 seed and one and done. Crap gets old.

I just see a lot of chest thumpin' when things are going well but when things are bad they fold like a cheap suit.

No discipline whatsoever.

I won't argue with that, seen at as well.

I guess that's the frustration for me as a fan this year, it seems the talent is there but not the results. I miss Kelvin

It's the twilight of the Roman Empire, and we're the barbarians at the gate.

Bob Stoops, is that you?

[Soonerjeepman]

saw just a bit...that's what is sad...I shouldn't miss a game but with the up/down way the team has played.....ugh.

I might disagree with some...I'm not so sure we are that "talented". Sure Buddy is good, Cousins is good...but compared to the league..not so sure we have just raw talent that belongs in the top 5 of the league. Our guys are true blue collar worker guys. The problem is IF the other team is working just as hard as we are the talent difference shows up.

I know "stars" done by recruiters are different...but there is SOME reason they are ranked.

I do love the team...but not sure they'll go far. Hopefully Buddy stays for next year we'll see.

[birddog]

I can't see buddy getting drafted at this point. He's a tweener. He's a 6'4 guard that does everything pretty well but nothing great. He's a nice college player and I think he's been good for the program, I just see him signing a contract outside of the US.
