Occasional men's basketball chatter thread

[badger]

I think OU should be ranked.

I think OSU is sucking more than ever.

I think Veriticus star (Tulsa area kid) signing with R-Kansas, rather than the school that his dad is BASKETBALL OPERATIONS DIRECTOR of (Oral Roberts University) shows that ORU really is toast, no matter which Sutton is coaching them, and it has nothing to do with basketball, the school's only remaining area of achievement.

I think ORU Sutton should become OSU Sutton... for OSU's sake.

For OU's sake, I hope they keep Sean Sutton around a very long time.

I think it's fun to live in a state with four tournament regulars - TU, ORU, OSU and OU.

SO WHY CAN'T THEY ALL GO THIS YEAR?!?!

I think we should have a tournament where OU plays ORU and TU and OSU does the same... it can be at that new BOK Center in Tulsa.

Ok... that's all the chatter I have

agree, but it should be the at the all college in OKC.

a 3 day round robin during Christmas break would be pretty cool

[OUstud]

I think that guy that "pumps up" the crowd and narrates all the timeout contests at the LNC is somewhat unnecessary...

[Ash]

Rotnei Clarke is to recruiting as was Jai Lucas

True dat. At least they're not doing the apartment complex sponsored tricycle races this year.

I wish the band could get weird. Ominous slow songs, tuba solos, Boredoms style noise blasts, dancing and stuff.

You might be alone. I just wonder, will any suc fans be there?

we could split it, kind of like the baseball games in okc and tulsa between ou and osu

i'd just like it to be in tulsa, because that's where I am and all.

I think it's funny that there's all these upsets in basketball, kind of like there was in football so far this year.

Of course, upsets are expected in basketball, so you can lose to a mediocre team, and still recover in the rankings quickly.

I stayed up late to watch the USC vs. So Ill game last night. OJ Mayo was not missing and they have a kid named Davon Jefferson #5 that is a good post player that can run the court. Mayo scored 13, Jefferson had 20 and both of them came off the bench! How the hell these guys lost to Mercer is beyond me.

Timmah has a great young team in the making at USC and our young Sooners are going to have their hands full this coming Thursday night!

[badger]

Clap. Clap. Clap yo' hands! (clap clap clap)

Ok, enough of that clappy crappy. Give your clapping hands a rest and use them to type these randomly selected teams in order of awesomeness this year.

Baylor, Colorado, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Mizzou, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech

My order:
Kansas
Texas A&M
Oklahoma
Texas
Okie State
Mizzou
Tcek
Iowa State
Nebbish
Colorado
Baylor

Hey, that's almost the order for football, too! Speaks volumes about an athletic department that can keep programs thriving throughout the year and not just one season.

[Ash]

As of right now, I'd put texas above OU and Mizzou above OSU. Kansas State should be near the top as well.

[william_brasky]

[SleestakSooner]

I will adjust this after I have gotten to see them all play, but for now:

Kansas
Texas A&M
Texas
Oklahoma
Mizzou
Tcek
Okie State
Baylor
Nebbish
Iowa State
Colorado

Oh, dear Top Dawg, I miss you almost as much as Hollis Price. I wish you would come back to Oklahoma.

[LAjew]

My uncle, cousin, and I will be at the USC game on Thursday so you will not be alone. The new arena is nice and there will be a pretty good crowd according to tix sales. I would love to see the schooner there so that Boomer and Sooner could leave a surprise on the court.

[OUmillenium]

We need a pro-wrestling style return of Top Dawg where he comes out of nowhere and bashes DJ dooshrocket over the head with a metal chair and saves the crowd from further ghey annoyance.

[tommieharris91]

Does suc seem really schizo right now, or is it just me? They lost to Mercer, but a lot of people say they are playing well right now...

What section are you seating in?

They have a really young team, even more so than OU. It was mentioned during the So. Illinois game the other night that there may have been some sort of rift between two or more of the freshmen at the beginning of the season. It looks to me as if they have learned to play as a team and the ability of their frosh to create a shot on their own is remarkable, considering how badly they dismantled what normally is a very good defensive team in Southern Illinois.
