Sick to my ****ing stomach describes how I feel right now. I was looking forward to a weekend of watching basketball, but now? I don't think there's any way I can watch for two more days.

God damn it all to hell.Here's how you can enjoy it you frozen mudder.

I'm just glad Nick dropped by to clear everything up for us.

[Okieflyer]

All the top seeds won. So far!

i want ku so bad, we owe those bAstards. cmon dammit down 1

[Frozen Sooner]

One point game?

****.

C'mon guys...
1:03 is PLENTY of time.

[GrapevineSooner]

I'll say one thing that isn't the refs fault.

We've been sloppy with the ball and our point guards haven't exactly been stellar at the defensive end of the floor.

[TripleOption14]

Can we please just get to Spring Football already!!!!!!!!! This team (if you want to call them that) is UTTERLY WORTHLESS!!!!

[Frozen Sooner]

i want ku so bad, we owe those bAstards. cmon dammit down 1

We don't want any part of KU tomorrow.

I think it is over now!:mad:

[jk the sooner fan]

i said last week we were a 7 seed and everybody blasted me for it......."noooooooo, we're a 5 at least"

nobody should be surprise.....nobody

[Newbomb Turk]

There's the game.

[bigdsooner]

We don't want any part of KU tomorrow.

All we can hope for now is a 13 seed.;)

[OKC-SLC]

are they going to make taylor griffin transfer? he's the only player with zero fouls...
no, but the Big 12 officiating offices are going to review the tape and a reprimand is coming.

[Frozen Sooner]

Herka merka hunga.

[okienole3]

We just aren't very good. Everett missing free throws hurt. Maybe this will give us time to rest for the tourney.

[oumartin]

Look, Nebraska is a top program in the big 12.

[Newbomb Turk]

Everett - 5/13 from the field

that sounds too good.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

i said last week we were a 7 seed and everybody blasted me for it......."noooooooo, we're a 5 at least"

there was a thread on texags last week about why everyone thought we had a better resume than them. i couldn't even argue...

[Ground_Attack]

per ESPN

fouls:
OU - 20
NU - 12

[Okieflyer]

It's over! It's sad when you look forward to the chicks game.

[Ground_Attack]

this year can't end soon enough. I love Book but this team is worthless.

[oumartin]

Griffin will transfer cuz he wants to play and have a chance in the NBA

[Frozen Sooner]

We just aren't very good. Everett missing free throws hurt. Maybe this will give us time to rest for the tourney.

Terrell is the king of missed front ends. I've never seen such a good free throw shooter miss so many.

[OKC-SLC]

this team is really just not very good. some will say it's good, and just waiting to play to it's potential.

i say it's just not very good.

of course, it doesn't help that so many points happened at the FT line.

[yermom]

mother ****ing ****

[Ground_Attack]

we suck

[OKC-SLC]

Look, Nebraska is a top program in the big 12, and my name is Jay.
fixed.

[IronSooner]

I would posit that aTm is a better team than us at this point. Though I could say that for a lot of teams.

[OU-HSV]

Are you kidding me...we just fouled. End the game damnit, we sucked and we lost...just let it end

[sanantoniosooner]

At least we wont be tired for the big dance.

[chriscappel]

As long as Texas doesnt win i can deal with it.....i guess

[GrapevineSooner]

We had our chances.

But we blew it.

Thanks a lot, Kelvin.

Way to prepare your team.

[Okieflyer]

FINAL 69 - 63
NEBRASKA!


WE SUCK!

[TripleOption14]

I gurantee that FSU or Miami would CRUSH us right now!! How ridiculous is that?!?!

[bigdsooner]

does it really matter where we are or what seed, seriously, im sory, but its over in the 1st round:mad:

[NickZeppelin]

This is the first game which I'm ****ed at the teams preformance on the court. I can't believe how they got dominated inside. This Nebraska team is a lot better then the Nebraska team we played in Nebraska early in the year but we played like crap.

[oumartin]

Hey Barry, when Nebraska cans you can you come coach OU. You owned Kelvin(the best coach OU has had) this year.

[OKC-SLC]

I've been saying it all year long--the goal of basketball remains to score more points than the opposition.

this team just absolutely CANNOT score with consistency. unfortunately, that's about how they defend, as well.

[OU-HSV]

I wish Kelvin would quit griping at the refs and coach a better game.

[chriscappel]

GOIN HOME Early here and in the dance.....f-ing bullsh*t!!!! Why? are we soooooo useless

[OKC-SLC]

does it really matter where we are or what seed, seriously, im sory, but its over in the 1st round:mad:
we will be an exceedingly popular 11 over 6 seed upset pick.

[crawfish]

This is the most frustrating OU team I've ever seen. So much potential, so much suckage. :mad:

[oumartin]

I wish Kelvin would quit griping at the refs and coach a better game.

HOW DARE YOU! ;)

[GrapevineSooner]

Same old story.

Same old song and dance with this team.

I'm not questioning Kelvin's ability to coach overall.

But I am going to start questioning his ability to coach this team.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

[OKC-SLC]

HOW DARE YOU! ;)
maybe the mods will just delete this thread for OU-HSV's statement.

that's the flavor of the week, isn't it?

[OUstud]

Calvin got outcoached game in and game out this past month. In 3/4 of our 1 point adventure, our opponent held a lead for much of the game. Now, he gets owned twice by a lame duck Collier. Hello early exit, part, what, 10?

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

i do think it would be funny if we weren't tabbed for the dance at all. it might wake him up for a year or just cash it in like tubbs.

[CtheB]

Well, fellas, one more game left...then its football season.

[TheBigRedMachine]

What happened? I thought the 3rd seed was unbeatable in the Big 12 Tourney?

[chriscappel]

WHat has happened to this program...

[OKC-SLC]

i do think it would be funny if we weren't tabbed for the dance at all. it might wake him up for a year or just cash it in like tubbs.
and you know, i can't honestly say that i would feel robbed if we didn't get a bid.

[oumartin]

Just deal with it people. This is as good as OU basketball will ever be. You wanna see mediocre? Just let Kelvin go and you'll see Mediocre.
OU is a football school!


you all can put quotes and names of individuals you want around that statement.

[CtheB]

Preseason #5 in the country arguably is not one of the top 5 teams in its conference.

[TripleOption14]

I now understand why A LOT of OU fans hate it when football season is over!! I used to be excited about bball season and people would ask why.

NEVER AGAIN!!! I now understand that OU will never be anything more than a football school!!! Sad but true.

[NormanPride]

30 - 10

That's the game, folks.

[OU-HSV]

HOW DARE YOU! ;)
Do I need to edit that post? I was just speaking MHO

[boomersooner28]

Why in the HELL was Nebraska sooo happy in beating our over-rated asses? Storming the court in Lincoln????? :confused: And the way they were acting after this game? :confused:

[OKC-SLC]

Preseason #5 in the country quite certainly is not one of the top 5 teams in its conference.

[OUstud]

No win over a Calvin team shall be worthy of storming the court from now on.

:D :D :mad: :D

[CtheB]

Why in the HELL was Nebraska sooo happy in beating our over-rated asses? Storming the court in Lincoln????? :confused: And the way they were acting after this game? :confused:

They probably thought the win in Lincoln was lucky, and feared us in Dallas. Then they beat our a$$ in Dallas too, so instead of thinking that we might be really bad, they think they are really good.

That being said, watch how bad KU drills them tomorrow.

[TripleOption14]

176 days til kickoff!!!!!!! HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CtheB]

Remember, we should just be happy that we made the tournament. This is Oklahoma basketball...or Towson St, I can't remember.

[IronHorseSooner]

This was absolutely pathetic! It seemed as if nobody cared, except for Book. They has Neal, your best 3-point shooter, commit the foul when he had 4 fouls. When the best offensive weapon tonight was AJ FROM 3, that's pathetic. This lost to a sub-.500 team that collapsed down the stretch after their best player was booted off the team! OU has been a true disappointment this year, not Wake Forest-like disappointment, but a disappointment nonetheless. Some people would say that the problem is with the style of play. Some say it's the lack of a true PG. With the way they don't communicate on defense, the high number of turnovers, and the lack of getting to the line, I say it's either a team-chemistry problem or they just don't care anymore.

[chriscappel]

176 days til kickoff!!!!!!! HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Preach on brother!!!

[CtheB]

I love Sherri Coale.

She makes March fun again, doesn't she?

We got dominated inside because Taj was a shell of his former self. Then the refs put everyone in foul trouble and there goes our confidence on O.

But I'll go kick some puppies instead. :mack:

[CtheB]

We got dominated inside because Taj was a shell of his former self. Then the refs put everyone in foul trouble and there goes our confidence on O.

We are the only team in the country that has less foul shots than the opponent AT HOME. The reason why we never go to the line is that we do not attack the goal, where most of our offense happens from the FT line towards HC. The reason everyone else goes to the line is that we beat the crap out of each other in practice so bad we don't know any different come game time.

[TripleOption14]

And i got news for ya folks...... its only gonna get WORSE!!!!!!!!!! Next years team will be even more AWFUL because of all the new faces and the year after that won't be much better either!

Do we have one more game? I think that's all. What a disappointing season.

If this season has been a disappointment for you, then it's your fault for believing the preseason hype. Not the coaches, not the players...yours. But occasionally we can blame officiating.

Rule # 109 of Soonerfans.com

[OKC-SLC]

so, listening to KS's press conference...

"i just didn't see this coming"

are you effing serious? you just got assraped by TX, you've hung on to win after win (and loss after loss), and you have played marginally all year.

[Okieflyer]

Once again. We suck. It's time to go to bed. See ya later.

Oh go blow me you stupid jerk!:mad:


Just kidding! I'm having a bad night. :P

[IronHorseSooner]

Once again, I feel incredibly stupid for posting early on about this team, but I needed something to do to pass the time in Iraq. This team had sooo much potential and hope, but they have NEVER gelled. That comes down to leadership. If I was a kid who had dreams of the NBA, OU would be towards the bottom of the list. There have been some guys here who, I believe, would've been an NBA player if they played somewhere else. It's the style of play...Next year, this team will be like OSU this year. This is how next year stacks:

1. KU
2. UT
3. OSU (they get it to gel)
4. A&M
5. ISU (they return their key players)
6. KSU (even with a new coach, they return their entire starting line-up)
7. OU
8. Baylor
9. NU
10. TTECH
11. CU
12. Mizzou

This will be a second-tier team next year. These freshmen coming in next year are REAL good offensive players, but the offensive clamps will be put on them. How much of these transfers leaving has been the kids, and how much of it has been the system?

[OKC-SLC]

Kelvin was just asked if the loss to TX and NU hurt our seeding.

"that's a hypothetical question"

no, it's not coach.

[CtheB]

No, no flyer. I'm just letting you know what people tell me when I label this a disappointment.

Rule #110 reads. Preseason hype that never materializes is the fault of idiot sportswriters who publish preseason magazines.

[OU-HSV]

Once again. We suck. It's time to go to bed. See ya later.

Think about this one.

I think we are giving too much credit to say the program is 'stagnate'. In my opinion, it's on a decline and we could be heading for the early 90s under Tubbs.

I guess I didn't really care about women's hoops until we got good at it, and have one of the best players in the country. It also doesn't hurt that the coach is really really hot.

first game his mom let him stay up and watch!

[NickZeppelin]

I am still trying to figure out how this is the first time all year that you have been disappointed in the play of the team.

There wasn't much to be disappointed about till this game really. Maybe the Missouri loss but that game the fans didn't show up. The defense is really dissappointing at times this year. 46 points in that 2nd half. That's really bad.

[IronHorseSooner]

This team "was supposed" to have guards who could penetrate a defense and attack the rim. WHERE HAS THIS BEEN? Our offense has been a choice of one of the three:

1. Turnover
2. Dribble down to under five seconds on the shot clock and jack up a three (usually from a guy who doesn't shoot the 3 very well).
3. Dump it down low

Unfortunately, 1 and 2 have happened FAR more often than anybody would like to have admitted. This form of offense has been around for a while. This program has been LUCKY over the years to have been graced by some guys who could bail this team out when they needed to (Minor, Erdmann, Brewer, Najera, Johnson, McGhee, Price, Lavender). Them bailing out WAS the offense. It's what is called the "HOPE AND A PRAYER" offense, and as we say in my profession "HOPE IS NOT A METHOD."

[Soonerus]

I went to Hornets uninspired loss only to come home and watch OU's uninspired loss...madding...

Here are some more:

"I never have to worry about Ernie's (Abercormbie) axe-handles."

"I didn't see any toughness out there."

In the past, I would say that KS's teams have overachieved. He has a coaching style is comparable to basic training. It's rudimentary and toughens guys up for battle; however, it is not specialized enough to get to the next level. That's why trainees need more training. KS's would be a great Drill Sergeant, but not a tactics instructor. He understands the rudimentary ways to harden his players, but doesn't have the knowledge or specialization to get them any further. :kelvin:

why would a talented HS kid want to come to Oklahoma and play where he can get the crap beat out of him every day in practice for the potential reward of scoring 5 points a game?

CtheB, GAME, SET, MATCH for you!


So, are you saying we need to lure "The General" away from Tech?

Not necessarily, even though his wife is an OU alum;) Just saying that it looks like that KS has only a basic/standard set of plays, and he won't deviate. Other coaches, regardless of skill level and who have been around the game all of their lives, seem to figure out this offense really easily. Shut down the main scorer (in this case Neal) and the offense goes into hibernation. Every team has role players (the scorers, the defenders, the rebounders, the leaders, etc.); however, most seemed to be multi-faceted enough that they could do more. The KS teams seem to have one main scorer, who passes the torch onto the next main scorer in the following season. In my other posts, I have described some of them. I agree that players such as Carter need more touches, he could be a GREAT weapon, but he is not utilized to his God-given abilities.

words..and more words:D

Crap, that means I'll have to do stuff around the house during the day. Cool that they're on tv though.


dude, just tell her that you want to watch the other gmes to see who we play? its not relly lyin ya know ;)

This team "was supposed" to have guards who could penetrate a defense and attack the rim. WHERE HAS THIS BEEN?
I have given up on seeing a player attack the rim on any semblance of a regular basis with KS as coach. That's just not his style (scoring points, going to FT line, stuff like that). McGhee did it during our run to Final Four. And all it did was GET US TO THE FINAL FOUR.

This team lacks two things:
1) a player to step up when the game is on the line (don't give me Terrell. He couldn't sniff the jock of a player who actually does--like Hollis)

2) an inside player with the ability to score with his back to the basket. you give Taj the ball 6 feet out with his back to the basket and you can kiss the possession goodbye. We've had only one of these under KS, and only for half a season (McGhee).

Why in the HELL was Nebraska sooo happy in beating our over-rated asses? Storming the court in Lincoln????? :confused: And the way they were acting after this game? :confused:
Are you familiar with Nebraska basketball history? Anytime NU actually wins a game in a tournament it's a big deal to us, or beat a team with a number by it's name. Remember this is a program whose next NCAA tourny will be it's first. The bar is set pretty ******* low in Lincoln for the basketball team, especially now that were decent at baseball.

She makes Jan thru Dec fun, doesn't she?
Fixed.

:D

Did you also notice that in the first four minutes of the game we had 7 possessions in which we failed to get a shot off?
Yes, and I turned the channel. Didn't want to watch any more so I let the wife pick the channel. I had enough bad news for the day, didn't want to end it with more.

[Cam]

This is the first game which I'm ****ed at the teams preformance on the court.
Blowing a 16 point lead in the last 6 minutes against KU didn't **** you off?


This Nebraska team is a lot better then the Nebraska team we played in Nebraska early in the year but we played like crap.
No, they're not.


Seriously, have you evar played organized basketball in your life? Based on some of your rhetoric, I'm gonna have to go out on that limb and say you haven't.

If you did, then your coach should've been fired cause you fail to show even the most basic knowledge of the game.

Rule #264 of soonerfans.com - The fans have more to do with a win or loss than ***tty coaching.

Except for the fact the last time we had ****ty coaching was in the early 90's.

I'd laugh, but I don't want to condone your childish behavior. ;)

[RacerX]

anybody?

Kelvin is helping us spend more time with our families.

Thanks Kelvin!

Nick, do you realize what a ****ing idiot you are?

[NickZeppelin]

Unlike you guys I actually know the game. We stunk last night cause our defense allowed 46 points in a half. The defense was lazy later in the game. You can complain about scoring all you want but 80 points a game won't win you much unless you can defend.

And why should I give a rats *** what other people think I am. No one here knows a damn thing about me.

[jk the sooner fan]

80 points would have wont that game last nite boy genius

[NickZeppelin]

True but giving up 46 in the 2nd half lost it.

[jk the sooner fan]

tell us Nick......you say you know the game

how? from where? tell us your basketball experience......give us your resume

[NickZeppelin]

I played it when I was younger. Not much more excpet I had a pretty good jumper

[jk the sooner fan]

define younger Nick - at what age?

[NickZeppelin]

Till I was in HS and realized I was too slow to play.

[jk the sooner fan]

so you played organized little league? or just out back with the fellas?

[NickZeppelin]

No with in Middle School I was on the MS team and then in HS I tried out but was too slow to play. There's not too many 5'9 130 lbs(or however big I was then) that are as slow as I was.

Oh, to the contrary....we all know that you are a ****ing idiot.

Likewise, you don't know a damn thing about us.

If Nick was a battleship, he would have sunk 2 weeks ago from all of the shots he is taking.
