The kid is amazing.5-8 tonight I think( down a little bit).TT did agood job on him in the first half but he finally got loose.Good job of using screens and picks to get his quick -draw jumper off.He not only was quick(and accurate) on the shot but on at least two occasions got a shot by simply outsprinting his defender to an open spot.
Neal's continued emergence makes us SOOOO much better on offense.Teams are trying so hard to shut him down, chasing him around leaves clear passing lanes for other players to catch and score.For the most part it also allows Gray and Everett to relax a little and not have to force plays.
That was not the case early for Terrell as he turned the ball over and looked out of sync early.Thankfully he settled down and had another great night dishing out assists( open passing lanes ).
Taj never did seem to relax although he had a decent game ,he commited too many fouls including yet another blatant foul late in the game.He almost cost us our miracle win (ISU) with the intentional foul and followed that with another bonehead violation in this game at crunch time.In the last two games he appears ( to me at least ) to be pressing a little. Griffin appeared to be suffering a similar problem early in the game and was yanked out never to return.Carter and Godbold were solid on D and Crter had a couple of good moments on offense.It was nice the last couple of games to see Book getting some boards after having almost no impact on the backboards against the Buffs, hope his hand is at least ready for that unamed team fron Austin.Two- handed he would be a major impact against the burnt-orange big uglies.
Let's win these two home games and head south for the showdown and see what happens.Boomer Sooner baby.
