Half

[william_brasky]

nice work Newbomb.

not too bad of a half. LL's lookin' pretty good. Neal's looking better.

I'm surprised that TCU beat TTech.

[william_brasky]

If it wasn't for Brasky, I'd own this thread. I should have started my own.

You do own this thread. :D

[william_brasky]

When this thread is asked "Who's your daddy", it replies "Newbomb is." :D

[william_brasky]

not a good start to the 2nd half.

[Frozen Sooner]

Five minutes into the second half without a bucket.

Good thing we won't have any droughts this year. :rolleyes:

C'mon, guys, let's pick it up a bit!

[Frozen Sooner]

Now that's more like it.

[william_brasky]

lookin better.

42-29 11 minutes left

[Frozen Sooner]

Gah. O-Zone is almost unwatchable it's having so many buffering problems.

[Frozen Sooner]

Nice. Mike Neal fouled on the three attempt, gets all of the free throws.

Up by 18.

[Frozen Sooner]

Man, our defense has been pretty impressive. Four to go in the game and TCU is under a point a minute production.

[Jeopardude]

Thanks for updates. Have to work. Hope pal enjoys my tickets.

[Frozen Sooner]

Up by 28 with :30 to go. I think we can put this one to bed.

[Bob Sacamento]

Nice win.

63-35.

[Frozen Sooner]

63-35 final.

OU holds TCU to 12 points in the second half to our 31. That's including a five minute scoreless drought for OU to start the first half.

[Jeopardude]

Up next Villanova on Wednesday night.

Any idea how they are this year?

[william_brasky]

Nice Win!

That actually looked like basketball.

Viva El Capel!

[OUstud]

I was watching on O-Zone from KC...what was up with the crappy covers of songs during timeouts? That was awful.

[okienole3]

CP3 and Tyson Chandler were taking in the game.

[Newbomb Turk]

good jorb picking up the slack in the 2nd half guys. I had to go out and finish putting up Christmas lights. :O

[birddog]

geez, that's a spanking.

good win for the boys in front of what, 900 fans?

[OUSKINS]

My thoughts from the game......

--Pathetic crowd. Obviously, many fans were in KC, but even then, the crowd was ridiculously small and lifeless. They should have just done away with the piped in music and promos today--made it even worse.

--Who was the random band that showed up late in the 2nd half and started playing cheesy cover songs???

--You can't play any harded than this bunch right now. The defensive intensity is amazing. It's not always pretty on offense, but we force the issue and more often than not, we wind up with a decent shot.

--TCU isn't too hot, but we made them look silly. The team has totally bought into Capel's defensive principles, and he is really maximizing our players' strengths.

--The outcome would have been worse had Griffin not had such a poor game. I'm hoping he got a clunker out of his system before Villanova comes to town.

--I'd like to see more out of Crocker. I think he's one guy we have that can score off the dribble, and he did just that the first couple of games. But since then, he seems tentative for some reason.

--Capel's right about Clark; he gets down on himself. Hangs his head a lot. You can tell Capel is keeping close watch on him-- he talks to him during the game as much as he does to any player.

--Godbold blew the game open with his jump shot; if he can keep that consistent, he becomes a very valuable player.

--I don't see us losing many games we "should" win this year. Team plays too hard for us to blow many. Still not sure what our "upside" is though-- we'll know more Wednesday.

[OUSKINS]

Nova is 5-1; Good win at Iowa. One loss came at Xavier.

From what I can tell, they look to be a borderline top 25 team this year, most likely an NCAA team, but not as explosive as in past years. Of course, the do have Scottie Reynolds....

[King Crimson]

I'm surprised that TCU beat TTech.

they didn't. lost by 10.

I apparently misheard that information, but anyway, they did hang with Tech, which shocks me.

[StoopTroup]

I saw most of the 2nd half.

We played OK.

I think maybe I haven't bought into the Capel system.

Give me some time...I'll come around...

Really played well on the defensive end. TCU couldn't hit shots either.

What I like is that guys are loose and confident to take shots on the offensive side of the ball.

Case and point: in the 2nd half Godbold stopped his dribble on the wing looking to feed to post, his man dropped back to stop the pass into the post, then Godbold looked to pass it out to the point, but the passing lane was closed; his man was still sagging, so he pulled the trigger from 3 and hit the shot.

[GottaHavePride]

****. I was wanting to go to the Villanova game on Wednesday, but due to the ice I now have a concert that night.

I hear you. Field trip to the Arbuckles Wednesday, don't get back until 7 (but I get to miss school). Why isn't this game at 8 like usual? :mad:

[OSUHeifer]

We should sweep you all this year, IMO.

Hey you, get off that limb!!

All your brooms are belong to us?

Fixed

[jk the sooner fan]

Five minutes into the second half without a bucket.

Good thing we won't have any droughts this year. :rolleyes:

C'mon, guys, let's pick it up a bit!

so you're saying one 5 minute drought compares to an entire career of it by KS?

wow

[Frozen Sooner]

so you're saying one 5 minute drought compares to an entire career of it by KS?

wow

We've had droughts in every game against a D-1 team so far this year.

Droughts happen to every team in every game. It's pretty rare that a team shoots lights out for an entire game.

Kelvin Sampson was held to an unreasonably high standard by some due to personal dislike for the guy, regardless of how good a coach he is. Capel should be held to the same standards we applied to Sampson.

Personally, I think Capel will be a fine basketball coach at OU. But the widespread belief that Kelvin Sampson is the only coach to ever have teams that go into offensive funks during a game was ridiculous.

[OSUHeifer]

Hey you, get off that limb!!

We'll spank you twice worse than we spanked the 'Cuse, baby.

[jk the sooner fan]

i dont have anything personal against Sampson and i dont dislike him.......but he sure seemed to have a predictability when it came to second half droughts

maybe i'm just not as smart on basketball
