What do you think our chances are of winning this tournament? We just beat possibly the most dangerous team in the bracket. Purdue is good, but who else do you think we might lose to? How nice would it be to win the tournament? I know it doesn't mean much, but it does boost confidence. And I think with all of our talent this year, confidence would really help.
We play UAB on Wed. night-- they beat Arizona by 1 last night. UAB is dangerous-- a guard-oriented team that will run all day. We should be able to hang on though.
If we do, we'll most likely be playing a Purdue team ranked in the top 10. That will be a very nice early test. It would be great to get two good (Davidson, Purdue) and one solid (UAB) win under our belts so early.
I hope we do better this time than we did last time we played a Mike Daivs coached team in a tourney. The kid to watch on UAB is Vaden. This gaem can be tabbed the "Kelvin Sampson Fall Out Game." Vaden left Indy when Sampson got there, and Mayfield left us when Sampson left here...On another note, I don't think the NCAA/NIT did a good job seeding for this tourney. Davidson should have had their own site (like us, 'Zona, and Purdue). They are far better than BC and should have been a higher seed...We should be fine against UAB. Given what I said, I was impressed with BC's perimeter play, and they should give Purdue all they want.

UAB and Purdue will both be good tests but I think we will win the tourney?
"My landmass erupts with kittens."
I really want to see OU vs. Purdue. Purdue is one of those teams we did not match up with well during the Sampson era. I think if this team can beat a Purdue team on a neutral court....we are a clear Elite Eight level team right now.
Man, the end of that Arizona-UAB game was crazy.Originally Posted by OUSKINS
For those of you who didn't see:
Arizona was down three in the waning seconds. Got fouled. Went to the line, got one, missed the second (but not intentionally, the plan was to trap after the made basket.)
Arizona gets the rebound, scores. Tie game.
Someone forgets to call off the trap and an Arizona player intentionally fouls a UAB player with .3 seconds left. UAB misses the first, gets the second, then almost throws the ball away on the inbounds.
Just a really odd sequence of basketball.
Winning the NIT could be the difference in a 2 or 3 seed in the big dance.
Three questions about said UAB game...
1- When
2- Where
3- Who to watch for them?
1 - Next Wednesday, 26th (8:00 central)
2 - MSG - NYC
3 - Pick your poison: Delaney (G) Quick, very athletic guard, not a great 3-point shooter, solid outside range though. -or- Vaden (G/F) Athletic, also doesn't strike fear into opponents with his 3 point ability, but can hit it. Not as lethal as Delany, but rebounds better. -or- Kinnard (F), can shoot the three and leads the team in rebounds...I suspect we'll see him matched up with Griffin.
i'll go ahead and say it: we kinda *owe* Mike Davis as far as I'm concerned.

I was in Atlanta that night.
I have yet to recover.
I was too. I was sick too my stomach the rest of the night. I was looking through pics a few weesk back and I took a pic of the scoreboard at halftime. We were up 36-30. Damn Coverdale.
Does Watson Brown still coach their football team?
There was a semi-major scandal involving the football team and an underage girl several years back, but I think he escaped unscathed.
i was beating my head on the wall after Selvy misses that front end.
i don't know if we beat Maryland again as well as Baxter, Wilcox, Francis and Blake were playing...but i sure would have liked to have the shot.
still mad about 88.

I was in San Ant'wan, watchin' the wimmens beat up the lady dookies.
I wish we coulda been the first university to take them both... but unfortunately, puke-on u-conn
King...wouldn't that front end have put us up by a point? That's my recollection at least....
I remember OU beating Purdue at a ridiculous level one year.
I don't necessarily agree with everything I say.
