It looks like we're forgetting men on defence... and ohh yea, we've missed all our shots.

King Crimson

we haven't scored but i liked griffin's move to the hole and AJ's missed layup was a nice look.

worried about our ball handling. we've inbounds-ed twice into the corner.

Sooners sound a little rattled. Fouling and turnovers. Is that the impression on TV? Or is Memphis that much faster and more skilled?

"palming" is what every single NBA, college and high school basketball player does every single dribble of every single game. it means that the player dribbled and puts his hand underneath the ball.

OU goes on a 6-0 run. Memphis looks discombobulated at the moment. Great pass from AJ to Griffin on the break.

Not a bad half on offense. Defense was horrible. The way we are shooting freethrows, and as many fouls as they have we might be able to pull this out. Memphis doesn't look like they are in shape to run up and down the floor.

I'd say talent is also a big part of it. This is probably the least talented OU team we've had in a long time. Sampson screwed us.

Still, even though we lack talent we shouldn't be turning the ball over. It speaks to lack of confidence in where your teammates are on the court.
