Here we go...OU osu III

[Soonerjeepman]

Hope we come out on fire and finish. Hate to be the one top 4 team that doesn't make it. Isuzu will b tough tomorrow....huge crowd advantage.

Boomer

[SoonerorLater]

Hey this one could be tough tonight if we don't play with any urgency.

[aurorasooner]

Geez, that last game looked like the whole state of Iowa was in attendance.
Big 12 teams that are to the south of the OK/Kansas border need to, at the very minimum, pressure the commish to have an every other year between KC/Dallas or every 3 year deal among KC/Dallas/OKC.
The 1st 3 games were quality even though there were no upsets. Sure hope the Sooners have their heads on straight and don't pull a re-punt tonight. BOOMER.............

[Mookie91]

Didn't realize Lon hasn't won a post season game at OU.

Woodard Buddy :frown:

[Mookie91]

Wow, fugly

[Soonerjeepman]

Missed 3 lay ups?....geeze

[Soonerjeepman]

Going to be an ugly game

[Soonerjeepman]

Ugh....

[SoonerorLater]

No kidding. This is like watching mud wrestling.

[Mookie91]

I hate to say this but when OU's defense stinks their offense seems much better

[Soonerjeepman]

Spangler cannot hold nash

[Sooner95]

Good lord...hard to watch.

[Soonerjeepman]

Looks like osu's game plan is to run 10 plus guys against our 7.

I know it's early but I just see this as a cluster fuc$ ...not sure OU will pull it out

[Mookie91]

Booker hurt?

[Sooner95]

Yea, we are not hitting anything, need to attack more down low with the bigs. Also, good to see another set of announcers complete "homers" for the other team....

[Soonerjeepman]

No passing....dribble drive....one shot. Give credit to osu they are stepping up with the defense. OU is just playing right into their hands.

I have to laugh....Spangler had article about how he has to play tougher....mmmmm not happening.

[Mookie91]

Yeah announcers very one sided. Thomas is physically over matched, nice moves tonight but can't put it in the ocean though.

[Sooner95]

Would help if we shot better than 23% too...

[Mookie91]

Love Spangler's heart but he is so slow and unathletic

[Soonerjeepman]

Love Spangler's heart but he is so slow and unathletic

Yup

[Soonerjeepman]

Okay, two fouls....over the back and a charge....neither called

[Mookie91]

I don't want to go totally negative like usual but man Jordan Woodard is useless

[Mookie91]

Okay, two fouls....over the back and a charge....neither called

Spangs flopped a bit

[Soonerjeepman]

He does hit fts

[Sooner95]

At least Woodard is hitting something, the rest of the team might as get on the bus and head south...

[Soonerjeepman]

Spangs flopped a bit

Maybe, but Nash lowered his shoulder

[Mookie91]

He does hit fts

Yes he does and I think he actually has a decent pull up 12 footer but for a short guy he can't beat anyone off the dribble and he has no long range game.

[Sooner95]

freaking pathetic. Lon needs to wake this team up...

[birddog]

Scored a point a minute in first half. This is a brutal game to watch but I'm stayin around

[Soonerjeepman]

The offense is totally inept. We'll see how good a coach Kruger is. Osu is following their game plan...tight d, run 10/11 guys...stay fresh.

[8timechamps]

I think we'll be okay in the second half, but Buddy has to start hitting more shots.

I know OSU is in the tourney, but they're playing like this is the game that will get them in...they just look like they want it more.

I have a feeling we'll look much better in the second half. This team has put together some complete games this year (and rolled to big wins when they did), but more times than not it seems like they play one bad half, then one good half (or vice versa).

[SoonerorLater]

26-21 halftime. And no it's not Bedlam Football.

[Mookie91]

You midwest guys are lucky 10:15 EST is late for an old curmudgeon like me

[Soonerjeepman]

Yes he does and I think he actually has a decent pull up 12 footer but for a short guy he can't beat anyone off the dribble and he has no long range game.
Disagree, he does beat them off the dribble...prob tonight and lately is rotation...bigs are blocking his shot...going too deep.

[8timechamps]

Yes he does and I think he actually has a decent pull up 12 footer but for a short guy he can't beat anyone off the dribble and he has no long range game.

My issue with JW is that he seems to disappear when we need him most. He's a great FT shooter, and runs the court very well, but when we really need him most, he's nowhere to be found.

If it hadn't been for Buddy, he would have ended the KU game with a miss.


Okay, I'll get off the negativity now...just thought I'd add my two cents on him.

[Soonerjeepman]

I think we'll be okay in the second half, but Buddy has to start hitting more shots.

True....we'll see. 3 missed point blank layups...the big stork blocking Thomas twice...unusual things.

[Soonerjeepman]

You midwest guys are lucky 10:15 EST is late for an old curmudgeon like me

Lol...

[Soonerjeepman]

I just have a bad gut feeling....unfortunately it's usually right. :(

[Mookie91]

I just have a bad gut feeling....unfortunately it's usually right. :(

I may get ripped for this but I really don't care about the Big 12 tourney unless it's a championship. Really want to see them play their best in the NCAA especially after North Dakota State last year

[Soonerjeepman]

I'd like to win one....we just look so out of sinc...

[Soonerjeepman]

U got to b ****ing kidding me....

[Soonerjeepman]

Ok, seriously....fouls are bullcrap

[Soonerjeepman]

Talking fouls on the drives....

[Sooner95]

I'm kind of in the same boat, not to concerned if we don't win big12 tourney, BUT, I would like to see us win a couple. especially this one. All the higher seeds have advanced, I don't want to be the one that didn't.

[Blue]

Nice comeback. Lets go baby! 36-35 OU 14 to go

[Sooner95]

Nice run here.

[Soonerjeepman]

Well playing better....hopefully we can sustain it.

[Mookie91]

Fouls have been a bit suspect both ways tonight.

Thomas has some serious moves in the post just doesn't seem to get off his feet.

[Soonerjeepman]

Yup

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

This

[Soonerjeepman]

Ok...no more posting...going to just try and enjoy the game

[Blue]

Hop step: Otherwise known as traveling

[Mookie91]

Hop step: Otherwise known as traveling

Lebron's "crab dribble"

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Nash is a beast. I haven't seen another poke score this half

[Mookie91]

Buddy got pushed but the Big 12 player of the year finishes and one

[8timechamps]

I may get ripped for this but I really don't care about the Big 12 tourney unless it's a championship. Really want to see them play their best in the NCAA especially after North Dakota State last year

Eh, I have the same attitude. I don't want to exit in the first round, but I don't really get too caught up in it unless we're fighting to get into the tourney.

I was really hoping we would end up on the KU side, because I don't want to play ISU again. That didn't work out well either.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Still don't think there's an uglier mascot in college sports than that abomination for osu

[8timechamps]

I feel like we're close to breaking this open. OSU is out of rhythm this half, like we were in the first.

[Sooner95]

Breathing room?

[Mookie91]

Still don't think there's an uglier mascot in college sports than that abomination for osu

He definitely drives a windowless panel van

[Sooner95]

Spangler has had a nice night on the boards though.

[birddog]

Ok. Game should be dun!

[Mookie91]

Spangler has had a nice night on the boards though.

Also like the fact he doesn't seem to panic on offense when he gets the ball

[Sooner95]

Well, was tough to watch at time, but still win by 15.

Bring on ISU.

[birddog]

Yes indeed! It's all gravy from here til next thurs or fri.

[8timechamps]

That went about the way I thought it would. Beating a team 3 times in a season is extremely difficult (which is bad news for ISU).

I don't really care what happens the rest of the weekend. Getting that first post season win is really all I was hoping for, but we could make a conference title game appearance.

Like birddog said, it's all gravy until next Thursday or Friday.

[SoonerorLater]

Could somebody explain to me why my posts are auto-changed from Bed*lam to OU-OSU?

[Pricetag]

That word is something OSU uses to seem more important.

[Eielson]

Could somebody explain to me why my posts are auto-changed from Bed*lam to OU-OSU?

We don't believe in the first amendment here at OU.

[hawaii 5-0]

What a lackluster 1st half for the Sooners offensively.

Couldn't make a lay up. Couldn't make a dunk. And those were the uncontested ones.

As usual the Sooners caught fire in Part 2.

5-0

[Soonerjeepman]

We don't believe in the first amendment here at OU.

yup...


glad to see OU pull it out, convincingly, and yes Nash was a beast. I think Ford screwed up and the D pressure relaxed the second half...saw a noticeable difference in how osu was playing out guards up top. I don't get it....it was working great the 1st half...why stop? glad he did!

Isu will be tough. they'll be a ton of bird fans there. hopefully OU can start out early and stay on top.

yes, Spangler had a monster night on the boards and Thomas took it to the hole offensively.

I know JW has some issues, but as I said, he hits his FT's...had a nice couple of jump shots, a lay-up in that run....

[Boomer.....]

That was an ugly game, but at least we got the W and Lon his first post-season win.

On to ISU!
