early. you need great guard play to go far. ours aren't smart with the ball or without it.
I have them losing to Pitt in the Semi Final. I can dream right
I truly believe if we can get by 'Cuse we can beat UNC.

2nd round against Clemson.
This team has gone to crap ever since that Texass thug elbowed BG. Of course, it it was against a Booby Knight coached team, he'd have gotten a two game suspension.
On 2nd thought, and after looking at the bracket to see it will likely be Clemson in the 2nd round, I'm inclined to agree with a 2nd round exit.

Before Sunday, I was thinking second round, but since almost everyone seems to think either Clemson or Michigan could take us, I'm going to put us into the Sweet 16 against Syracuse. That 3-2 zone is going to kill us, though, with the way our guards are playing. It made us look silly when we had Hollis and Quannas in 2003.
It will be interesting to see if the refs we get in the tourney will allow opposing defenders to kill Blake like Big 12 refs have.
La ola es mía.
Oh please....carmelo anthony and hakim warrick had a little bit to do with the success of that zone.
We'll make the elite 8.

No matter what you do there will be critics
I'm not the type to forget about nights like this,
where every single move that I make is documented and scored for style points.
The once ambitious one now holds the smoking gun.
if they play clemson its lights out.
otherwise they could run to the final four.
It all hinges on our Guards ability to hit open shots and Blakes ability to draw fouls early and often without getting into foul trouble himself. If those things happen, we could advance as far as the Elite 8. If that doesn't happen then we will probably be looking at a 2nd round exit. That seems like a bit too many ifs that need to go our way, so I'm leaning more towards the early exit unfortunately.
Incredible how the confidence level of the fans is at rock bottom right now. Not sure I've ever seen a team seeded as high as OU have their fans so pessimistic about their chances. Honestly, I'd say the vast majority of fans who follow the team pretty much EXPECT a loss to Clemson should we meet. It's almost as if OU winning would be an upset.
The sad thing is, I think this level of confidence is warranted-- to much evidence down the stretch to think we're just suddenly going to be able to switch gears.
Clemson will beat them with pressure defense. They best be spending this week working on it.
mine was never that high. that's why I can't watch them this season or the past few. can we play some fundamental dribbling and passing basketball? sheesh.
I have OU getting knocked out by Michigan, mostly because I always bet on teams that employ a 1-3-1 and wonky offense to make a run. It was between ASU and Michigan for that this year, and I'm playing a hunch with Beilein.
For the good old American lifestyle: For the money, for the glory, and for the fun... mostly for the money.
I think the early departure from the conference tournament will pay dividends for us. We have the talent to make a run to at least the Elite Eight.
Syracuse is very good, and my concern has nothing to do with their defense. My concern is how we (or will we) handle their gaurds. If the Orange gaurds are hot from the paremeter, it'll be a long night for us. Otherwise, I think we make it to UNC.
As much as I hate UNC, I think they would be too deep for us. But, I'd love so much to see us end their season.
How about Blake hitting a last second jumper against UNC to send them home!
Seems like we owe them one
1 and done if the second game is against Clemson.
2 and done if the second game is Michigan.
Would love to see us play UNC for a chance at the Final Four, but I just can't get us past the press of Clemson or the guards of Syracuse.
I have them losing to Louisville.
In case you don't know, that would be losing in the finals.
Skip Bayless, is that you?
LMFAO...I cannot believe some of you actually think Clemson has what it takes to beat us.
I think our team will be ready to play in this tourney.
We damn sure have the team to make a deep run. Just need to be smart with the ball and allow Blake to touch the ball every time down the court.
