50th anniversary of TX Western beating KY in the championship game...the center....David Lattin...grandfather of Khadeem...NCAA is to honor that team this weekend....I hope like crazy Khadeem blocks and dunks but does not shoot midrange jumpers (unless, of course, he gets HOT!). First ever champ for the Sooners....gotta a good feeling....Boomer!
Looking past a team that made the final 4 and knocked off the overall #1 seed (and they're favored, BTW)? Silly talk.
Are these the OU radio guys on the OU Team Stream on TBS or TNT, the opposite of the main stream? It looks like Nova is getting a 2nd chances and we're trying to be too cute getting the ball inside, plus on that missed bunny at the start of the game, the reply showed the Nova defender hacked the hell out of our guy's wrist. The zebras ""ain't doing us any favors so far, imo. It also looks like their gameplan is to try and steal the ball from our guards by doubling and tripling down when our guards drive. Man, this BB court in a FB stadium isn't bothering Nova's shooting. 11-0 run with a lot of gimmes inside.
Hard to believe that 'Nova can shoot 60%+ in the 2nd half...and remember that last time Buddy had 7 points in the first half he went off for 29 in the second....
Game Over but very good season. I thought they may have the juice to get there but their flaws caught up to them.
Agree 100%. I thought OU was lucky to hang onto a #2 seed after the last few weeks of the season and incredibly lucky to get the western regional. Both the #1 (Oregon) and #3(aTm) seeds were suspect and we got to play the first 2 in OKC. Great season and very entertaining watching Buddy. Making the final 4 in hoops is a big deal.
Live by the 3 and die by the 3. Got no complaints with our hustle and effort. They're just getting all the bounces and around the rim rolls and we're not making jack. Should've sacrificed a live chicken in the Bahamas instead of going for Kentucky Fried, I guess. Only 41 pts thru 3/4 really sucks.
So much for my "good omen"....never in my worst nightmare would I believe the ENTIRE team go cold...can't even really bitch about some bad calls...how can one team shoot 70% for an entire game? Absolutely still LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Sooners!!!!!!!!
This is hard to watch in my 25+ years of watching NCAA Tournament basketball this is the worst performance I've ever seen. My friends who typically give me grief for being an OU fan are leaving me alone because this is so pathetic.
*sigh* Can't believe it ended like this. Never thought the score would be that bad in a loss. Still proud of the team. They did better than I thought they would. With the way they finished the season, I didn't think they'd make the final four. Boomer!!!
Glad I don't have cable. I missed the 1988 Championship game, on a train to bootcamp. Took me this long to recover and get really excited for OU basketball again. Oh well...
We'll field a good football team in 5 months. In the meantime, I'm riding my bicycle and enjoying summer.
Hopefully but see the same issues. Lon will have his work cut out for him replacing what the team lost in Spangler, Cousins & Hield but for the love of god teach these guys to take care of the ball.
