*** Official OU/KU Game Thread ***

[Newbomb Turk]

We need an official game thread.

[Newbomb Turk]

looking OK so far.

7-7
Same starting 5 in the game.

[Newbomb Turk]

Neal in for Johnson.

About time.

[King Crimson]

4 of their points are off us giving them an extra possession.

[Newbomb Turk]

Kind of sloppy by both teams. Things should settle down soon.

[King Crimson]

AJ showed some spunk. getting the tie up, and was driving the basket on the play he got fouled.

[King Crimson]

officiating looks like ticky tacks on the perimeter, and anything goes inside.

[Newbomb Turk]

AJ showed some spunk. getting the tie up, and was driving the basket on the play he got fouled.

True, he's gonna be a good player. I just think we're so much better when Neal is in the game.

[BillyBall]

If we can pull out a win at the Phog, Super Bowl drinking will begin early....

[fadada1]

how about the double-team by ku down inside? i'd like to see if sampson can take advantage of that.

[King Crimson]

NEAL!

[Newbomb Turk]

Neal for 3

14-7 OU
13:00

[birddog]

We are playing great D so far.

[King Crimson]

Everett, that was smooooth.

[ultimatesooner1]

taking the home crowd out of it so far = nice

[oumartin]

not a bad start, KU not on pace to score 90 anyhow. Neal is a shooter

[birddog]

Atleast we have the crowd quiet so far.

[Newbomb Turk]

taking the home crowd out of it so far = nice

especially since it's those turd burglars in Lawrence.

[Soonerborn03]

I was starting to wonder why no one else was posting in the other thread...

[Octavian]

I CANT FIND THE DAMN GAME ON HERE IN DC!! :mad:

[Cam]

taking the home crowd out of it so far = nice
Not an easy chore at the Phog.

[Newbomb Turk]

I CANT FIND THE DAMN GAME ON HERE IN DC!! :mad:

That sucks - Stay tuned here for updates.

[Newbomb Turk]

Everett with a 3

[Soonerborn03]

Look at how he spells his name Kellogg you friggin retard.....k E l v i n

[Cam]

Boys are playing great D inside the paint.

[King Crimson]

[Newbomb Turk]

Teams trade a few missed shots
19-10 OU
8:50

[birddog]

Shouldn't Bookout be more cut up than he is? Seems like his arms are a bit flabby.

[Newbomb Turk]

19-11 OU
8:14

[Newbomb Turk]

Shouldn't Bookout be more cut up than he is? Seems like his arms are a bit flabby.

You tell him that. ;)

[Soonerborn03]

Shouldn't Bookout be more cut up than he is? Seems like his arms are a bit flabby.It doesn't really matter. He still pushes everyone in the conference around in the paint.

[birddog]

I'm sure all the injuries limit his time in th weight room.

[Newbomb Turk]

They are also playing really good defense.

3 by them.
19-13 OU
7:20

[Cam]

Bad news: We're in a scoring drought.

Good news: KU's only on a 3-0 run during the drought.

[fadada1]

did i see some kind of press by us a few minutes ago. is tubbs coaching today?

[King Crimson]

Kellogg firing up the KU manlove machine.

[King Crimson]

Kaun walks, no call.

2 straight OU turnovers

[sooner518]

ugh ever since i started watching, we've absolutely sucked. our offense is stagnant, but at least our D is real active today

[Octavian]

OCtavian:

net audio stream of game: http://www.reachingmore.com/kkgm.HTM

Nice!

[JohnnyMack]

I don't often complain about announcers, but Kellogg must have a hard time talking while he has all of KU's nuts in his mouth. Fag.

[Newbomb Turk]

Wild shot by Everett.

[birddog]

this happens every game.

[King Crimson]

Carter, Griffin, and AJ in the game. 19-18

[Newbomb Turk]

Need a bucket badly.

[Soonerborn03]

HOW BOUT A CHARGE?!?!?!

[Newbomb Turk]

Shots we get just won't fall right now.

[Newbomb Turk]

Homo KU fans back in the game now.

[Cam]

Since the typical drought usually happens in the 2nd half, maybe they're just getting it out of their system while there's still plenty of time to recover from it???

[oumartin]

why in the hell is neal on the bench.? Kelvin ball is back. take the air outta it boys. force it inside and get turnovers boys.

[okienole3]

Where is Neal?

[King Crimson]

about time they called KU pushing inside on a rebound. this 3rd trip in a row where taj or book are flying towards the out of bounds after jumping for a board.

[birddog]

I'm not used to the other team getting rebounds.

[TripleOption14]

What does Austin Johnson provide?!?!

[Soonerborn03]

yay for points!!

[Cam]

Hey, an offensive bucket.

[King Crimson]

nice pass taj

[Soonerborn03]

WOOHOO 4 IN A MINUTE!!

[Newbomb Turk]

Anybody else losing the video on the TV feed from time to time?

[birddog]

What does Austin Johnson provide?!?!
TO's for them.

[King Crimson]

bad TO. after an equally bad effort on the D glass.

[Soonerborn03]

Anybody else losing the video on the TV feed from time to time?Yeah, this CBS feed sucks....keeps blacking out

[Newbomb Turk]

We need the lead at the half.

[BillyBall]

That pass was amazing....

[King Crimson]

get a stop!

[Newbomb Turk]

Nice bucket by Taj

27-26 OU

Let's play some D

[Soonerborn03]

Beeeeeeeeeeeeautiful way to finish the half

[BillyBall]

Nice way to end the half...

[King Crimson]

even better!!!!!

[birddog]

**** Yeah!!

[PrideTrombone]

It's a good thing KU isn't that good this year. Normally that 8 minute drought would've killed us.

[Newbomb Turk]

Big finish by Taj!

Those 4 points were huge.

[oumartin]

its no freakin' mistake that when neal is in the offense is improved. you have to guard him all the time. great play by taj to end the half.

[oumartin]

I thought my new bigscreen was going out on me for a few. glad to know its just cbs that sucks.

[Newbomb Turk]

its no freakin' mistake that when neal is in the offense is improved. you have to guard him all the time.

couldn't agree more.

[crawfish]

KU has the best interior defense we've seen all year.

I think we've played a great game. I'm very happy to be up by 3...

[JohnnyMack]

Seems like when we were active and using motion on offense we scored pretty much at will. When we stand around with our heads up our ***, we go on 7 minute scoring droughts.

[King Crimson]

Seth Davis is made of plastic. and talks ONLY about KU in his game analysis.

buttwrench

[Newbomb Turk]

KU has the best interior defense we've seen all year.

I think we've played a great game. I'm very happy to be up by 3...

I think we've played well - not great. I do like how we survived the scoring drought and finished the half strong.

Agree on KU's defense.

[oumartin]

can't complain about the score but OU went freakin scoreless for 6-7 minutes. That will get you beat in the tourney. gotta prevent those times from happening. AJ looks to be strugglin' today. I'd let him watch this game from the bench for a while to start the second half.

[Soonerborn03]

KU has the best interior defense we've seen all year.

I think we've played a great game. I'm very happy to be up by 3...Definitely. KU is keeping Taj and Bookout away from the basket. They're doing a great job on Bookout. He's really struggling with his shot.

We were getting some open looks from outside early on, but now everything we're throwing up is tested. We just need to get in there and get some more offensive rebounds

[Soonerborn03]

I'd let him watch this game from the bench for a while to start the second half.The offense is a lot more active when Austin is out there. He doesn't need to put up points for us. We just need him to push the ball around and play good defense.

[King Crimson]

anybody else catch Top Dawg in the pregame video montage?

don't they know he's gone to the happy hunting grounds? sniff...sniff.

[Cam]

Seems like when we were active and using motion on offense we scored pretty much at will. When we stand around with our heads up our ***, we go on 7 minute scoring droughts.
Funny how the two correlate.

[JohnnyMack]

Funny how the two correlate.

I'm no coach (although I do play one from my couch. ;))

[Cam]

KU has the best interior defense we've seen all year.

I think we've played a great game. I'm very happy to be up by 3...
I'm estatic we're up by 3. Not so sure we're playing great, but good enough at this point.

[King Crimson]

we haven't shot a FT.

[PrideTrombone]

I wish Bookout would stop trying to hit fadeaway one-armers.

[PrideTrombone]

What does Austin Johnson provide?!?!

3 points, right there. :)

[King Crimson]

AJ! (man his stroke is "unorthodox")

[Cam]

Refs are letting it inside on both ends. Taj (I think) got away with a push in the back before Johnson hit the 3.

[King Crimson]

Kansas is gonna be shooting FT's the last ten minutes of this one.

[BillyBall]

19 combined TOs thus far... Pretty game.

[sooner518]

these refs are calling some ticky tack BS calls on us. That was a weak foul on Bookout

[sooner518]

great pass by AJ to Bookout

[BillyBall]

these refs are calling some ticky tack BS calls on us. That was a weak foul on Bookout

They have been very inconsistent. Nickle and Dimers one time down the floor, the next time it takes a police report to get a whistle.

[BillyBall]

24 minutes played and OU has yet to attempt a free throw.... Bull****.

[yermom]

nice TO

[Cam]

I wonder if Johnson's 3 will give his shot some confidence? He's been passing up some wide open shots the past couple of games.

[SoonerDood]

well there's 3 right there. finally

[birddog]

fag KU fan in the background

[yermom]

24 minutes played and OU has yet to attempt a free throw.... Bull****.

how about 3 at once :D

[TripleOption14]

I thought the PG play would pick up after Drew transferred but nothing has really gotten any better. I understand youth but he is simply not ready for Big 12 play.

[sooner518]

dude just MUGGED Everett and they dont call that. what a load of crap

[King Crimson]

big turnaround. chance to go up 10, and now Rush at teh other end.

[BillyBall]

Huge block by Griffin, wow..

[Rocker]

Nice shot up by 9

[Cam]

I like the way Griffin plays.

Nice steal by Godbold. Good job pushing it to the basket to pick up the foul.

[sooner518]

nice steal by Godbold. he got hammered

[King Crimson]

Neal is pure. but, i don't love the uptempo change here. but, hey!

[birddog]

great minute and half. 43-34 OU 12 to play.

[Rocker]

up by 11

[Cam]

It's like a KU knob slobber fest with these guys.

News flash, they're down by 10.

[PrideTrombone]

And there's the obligatory Danny Manning/1988 Final Four mention. Ugh.

[TripleOption14]

When will the OU drought begin for the second half? I hope it holds off until real late in the game and we've got a big margin.

[Newbomb Turk]

Come on boys - keep the pressure on!

[yermom]

yay Godbold

[Rocker]

up by 13 boomer sooner

[King Crimson]

AJ! my man!

(shoulda given it up)

[AustinTXHorn]

This is getting ugly in a hurry. You guys look damn good.

[BillyBall]

Im not mad at the score at all.....

[Newbomb Turk]

AJ! my man!

(shoulda given it up)

I thought he should have passed too, but if you score, who cares.

[birddog]

KU is breaking down.

[birddog]

dammit.

[BillyBall]

KU is breaking down.

[Rocker]

And there's the obligatory Danny Manning/1988 Final Four mention. Ugh.

They forgot to mention Danny Manning should have had 25 fouls in that game!!!

[Newbomb Turk]

KU is breaking down.

I agree - with both posts. :)

[Cam]

Neal is pure. but, i don't love the uptempo change here. but, hey!
IMO, this team's built for an up tempo game.

Seems like every time we've played up tempo this year, we've either broken away or upped a lead.

We struggle mightly when we try to take the air out of the ball and run the shot clock to 5 seconds before looking for a shot.

[birddog]

AJ does look alot better. I worried about him for awhile...pssst, you shoulda passed it.

[King Crimson]

11 and half minutes left.

[Newbomb Turk]

I'm not gonna mention that we can't afford a 2nd half scoring drought.

[sooner518]

This is getting ugly in a hurry. You guys look damn good.
now we look unstoppable. but just wait. im sure we'll at least make it interesting

[Cam]

This is getting ugly in a hurry. You guys look damn good.
Look much better on offense this half than we did in the 1st. Defense has been solid the entire game.

[King Crimson]

i generally agree. i just think the only way KU wins this game is their O possessions turn into track meets. they can't beat us running a half court O, i don't think.

[Newbomb Turk]

nice..uh..rebound by Taj.

[BillyBall]

Taj!!!!!!!!!!!

[sooner518]

oh DAYUM what a follow dunk by Taj!

[Newbomb Turk]

Can't let them keep firing 3's.

[BillyBall]

Can't let them keep firing 3's.

They are 1 of 10 from behind the arc.....

[birddog]

AJ looks 6 years old next to Bookout.

[Newbomb Turk]

They are 1 of 10 from behind the arc.....

I think that's the way they can get back in this game though.

[King Crimson]

Can't let them keep firing 3's.

or spend the rest of the game in the bonus/double bonus---well, that having been said KU plaer barely draws iron on the FT.

[Cam]

i just think the only way KU wins this game is their O possessions turn into track meets. they can't beat us running a half court O, i don't think.
Agreed. Have to keep making shots so that we slow down their transition game.

[King Crimson]

Terrell didn't score, but he undressed that guy guarding him.

[Newbomb Turk]

Big 3 by Godbold.

[Cam]

Didn't Kahn grab Book's hand on that put back attempt?

[yermom]

Godbold for 3... took them long enough... did that possession last like a minute?

[BillyBall]

As long as we can get them in half court sets for the rest of the game, we are golden.

[Newbomb Turk]

Didn't Kahn grab Book's hand on that put back attempt?

When you're a pop music star, you get away with stuff.

[King Crimson]

Godbold for 3... took them long enough... did that possession last like a minute?

we had 3 shot clocks on that possession.

Book is going to have Kaun's handprint on his back after the game. he pushes him about 3 of 4 rebound situations.

[yermom]

we had 3 shot clocks on that possession.

Book is going to have Kaun's handprint on his back after the game. he pushes him about 3 of 4 rebound situations.

i wasn't really complaining :D

[BillyBall]

Stupid turnovers....

[King Crimson]

did you see the shove there under the basket? they called it, but it's going on all game.

[PrideTrombone]

When will the OU drought begin for the second half? I hope it holds off until real late in the game and we've got a big margin.

Right about... meow.

[Newbomb Turk]

Nice ball handling the last 2 trips.

[TripleOption14]

Here comes the drought! Arrrrgh!!!!!

[sooner518]

i dont like this full court pressure. we look awful

[Newbomb Turk]

friggin ball won't drop.

[Cam]

WTF was that.

Letting them back into it with a 11-0 run.

[PrideTrombone]

****ty ball handling, ****ty shot selection.

[BillyBall]

Nice help down low Bookout....

[yermom]

i hate that Super Nintendo Chalmers guy :mad:

[Octavian]

wheres the timeout?

[Octavian]

oh...:O

[yermom]

now we look unstoppable. but just wait. im sure we'll at least make it interesting

:mad:

[TripleOption14]

So much for winning this game easy!! :rolleyes: Did everyone not see this coming 40 blocks back!!!!!!!! My god!!

[Newbomb Turk]

Why does Everett think he can dribble through people?

[Cam]

Full court presure alone isn't going to kill us. If they start trapping out of it, we're done. Haven't been able to beat a trap press yet this year.

Lead's down to 2.

[SoonerDood]

HORRIBLE

[BillyBall]

That was pathetic....

[PrideTrombone]

This is pathetic.

[Newbomb Turk]

I'm about to turn this off.

[TripleOption14]

I'm just gonna go ahead and say it....... OU loses by 5pts. in what should have been a GREAT win for this team!!!!! Man i hate this team when they go on their FVUCKING droughts at the wrong time!!

[Newbomb Turk]

About time.

[Newbomb Turk]

Can't allow 2nd chance points.

[BillyBall]

Bookout refuses to step out and challenge shots

[Octavian]

allright! we scored

[Newbomb Turk]

Doesn't appear the refs are going to make a call.

[King Crimson]

taj didn't get fouled?

[PrideTrombone]

Jesus, Taj, there are 5 guys around you. Kick it outside.

[TopDawg]

I'm listening on the radio and it appears we're something like 2-18 from inside one foot.

Is that the case?

[Newbomb Turk]

I'm listening on the radio and it appears we're something like 2-18 from inside one foot.

Is that the case?

I doubt it's that good.

[Cam]

un-freaking real.

[crawfish]

I hate basketball. :mad:

[BillyBall]

So we are the "experienced team", huh???

[OUthunder]

Can you say...

C-H-O-K-E?!

[TripleOption14]

Way to **** away a perfectly good win!!!!!

[oumartin]

all you kelvin lovers can kiss my ***. had em on the ropes and he pulls em back. then they get urgent and take stupid shots, then out of timeout he draws up a play that ends up in a desperation 3 pointer.. what a guy

[Sooner24]

:(

[Newbomb Turk]

Kick the ****ing ball out Taj!

[PrideTrombone]

GODDAMMIT TAJ YOU ARE ****ING SURROUNDED.. PASS IT

[fadada1]

are these the same refs that did the tech game?

[crawfish]

No, that wasn't a push-off. :mad:

[Newbomb Turk]

The refs might as well leave the game.

[King Crimson]

chalmers pushes our guy to the ground, no call.

[OUGreg723]

NOOO!

[OUthunder]

heh.

choke!

[King Crimson]

did chalmers win the heisman?

[crawfish]

For the record, refs, you're not allowed to push a defender down to the ground to get space to shoot.

[OUGreg723]

Please Neal!! Hit another.......

[BillyBall]

There is no way we pull this out....

[TripleOption14]

Don't blame the refs. It should have never come down to this!!!!

[fadada1]

i'm still a fan of sampson, but up 16 points with 7 minutes left..... step on their throat!!!! be up by 20 with 5 minutes left, 25 with 3 minutes left.....

[OUGreg723]

From the radio feed, this sounds like the worst officiating ever.

[Cam]

Should be an iteresting 19 seconds.

I'd press/trap like a Mofo

[fadada1]

Don't blame the refs. It should have never come down to this!!!!
true, but it feels good to blame someone other than us.

[SoonerDood]

we are going to lose. And I didn't even watch.

[yermom]

oh man, this sucks

[OUthunder]

MMMMN. VALIUM

[Newbomb Turk]

Don't blame the refs. It should have never come down to this!!!!

You're right, it shouldn't have come down to this. But are you watching the game?

[snp]

Don't blame the refs. It should have never come down to this!!!!

I'll blame whoever isn't calling this ****. It's awful.

[PrideTrombone]

i'm still a fan of sampson

You poor misguided soul.

[TopDawg]

Don't blame the refs. It should have never come down to this!!!!

Yeah, but if it weren't for the refs, it WOULDN'T have come down to this. ;)

[TripleOption14]

This team will be lucky to make it out of the first round of the tourney!

[Cam]

Wow, they called a foul in the paint.

1 second left.

[Newbomb Turk]

Now they blow the whistle.

Smart foul by them.

[SoonerDood]

suXXor

[PrideTrombone]

If we manage to win, it's gonna be despite Kelvin, not because of him.

[OUGreg723]

THIS IS TORTURE~~!!!

[Skysooner]

A player going up for a basket is hit by another player that is on his way down and no foul? This isn't basketball the way the refs are calling it.

[OUthunder]

HEH, the refs call that foul but let the muggings go uncalled earlier.

heh.

[crawfish]

Don't blame the refs. It should have never come down to this!!!!

Oh, it's our fault it's down to this. I'm not blaming the refs.

But no question a BLATANT foul was committed.

[oumartin]

finally, people are wising up

[SoonerDood]

WTF

[PrideTrombone]

That was a ****ty inbounds play too.

[fadada1]

terrible finish.

[Cam]

Kiss any chance of a Big 12 title goodbye.

Up by 16 and can't put somebody away. Pa-****ing-thetic.

[oumartin]

quit blaming the refs, quit blaming the players.. BLAME THE COACH

[crawfish]

In fact, that foul was far more blatant than the one that got Mizzou free throws at the end of the game.

[SoonerDood]

Kelvin used to be so good at inbounds plays.

[birddog]

very, very disappointing.

[King Crimson]

uuuuughhhh.

[OUGreg723]

Man, very dissapointing. poor officiating. poop.

[oumartin]

Bill Self calls those last two timeouts not to set his defense but to watch Kelvin flounder at an inbounds play.. It worked to perfection.

[OUthunder]

Simpson needs to go! ;)

[birddog]

I'm gonna go pick a fight.

[TripleOption14]

Kiss any chance of a Big 12 title goodbye.

Up by 16 and can't put somebody away. Pa-****ing-thetic.


EXACTLY!!!!!! Texas just got an EASY Big 12 title w/o doing squat!!!!

[TopDawg]

quit blaming the refs, quit blaming the players.. BLAME THE COACH

Yeah, I can't believe Kelvin called two consecutive turnover plays when we were up by 16.

What was he thinking?!?! :mad:

[oumartin]

WWW.FireCalvinSimpson.com

[GottaHavePride]

F***.

1. Why do we slow down when we get up by 15? I miss the days of getting ahead by 30 and putting in Oleg.

2. That was some ****ty officiating toward the end - Taj gets mugged by three guys and the refs just stand there.

[SoonerDood]

quit blaming the refs, quit blaming the players.. BLAME THE COACH
yeah Billy was so great. I love losing at home in the NIT.

[fadada1]

anyone got a dog we can kick????

[TopDawg]

And how many layups/put-backs did Kelvin miss today?? It sounded like a lot on the radio?! :mad:

[PrideTrombone]

Yeah, I can't believe Kelvin called two consecutive turnover plays when we were up by 16.

What was he thinking?!?! :mad:

Sometimes I wonder if he even works on ball handling in practice.

[birddog]

I'm shocked. I just woke my dad up from a nap and he got to see the last second. He said he fell asleep about 10 minutes ago with us up 12. Friggin ridiculous.

[oumartin]

Um, you learn in practice not to dribble into a corner and get trapped. Kelvin is the guy that probably told Everett to sit out there and dribble the ball for 30 seconds. I don't doubt that a bit.
Kelvin should get the blame.

[walkoffsooner]

Kansas wanted more! That could be coaching or just being out played.

[BillyBall]

I never saw where martin said that Billy Tubbs would have done a better job. His point is VERY valid. Sampson BLEW that game.

[PrideTrombone]

And how many layups/put-backs did Kelvin miss today?? It sounded like a lot on the radio?! :mad:

Well, if your big men are completely surrounded by 5 people, you'd think they'd be coached to kick the ball outside. You'd think.
