    2015-2016 Men's Season Thread

    Figured the few of us that give a rat's a$$ about bball can post about the games this year here.

    Watched the Washburn exh.

    Good - new guys played well. Our 2 wings seem to fit in nicely for Buddy and Cousins. Post presence was ok. I thought vs Washburn we'd really have the adv but really didn't see it live...need to look at stats. 2nd half was much better defensively. We will run this year and looks like we have some depth.

    Bad - Again, figured post would be a much improved strength, again, need to look at stats. Didn't see the 7fter in...was in sweats, GF and her mom were talking when I heard the TV mention something as to why...didn't catch it.

    1 exhibition down, 1 to go.
    How do you know if you get there, if you don't know where you are going?..oh and I had 1,713 post on the "other board"..I hate being a rookie again!

    2nd Pre-season game
    Featured former asst coach as the HC, and a walk-on at OU transferred to the small NAIA school.

    Good - hit close to 100, think we laid off the gas pedal could have been 112+ if we went hard the whole time and left starters in.

    Fr guards played ok, not as well as the last game. McNeace did well...he'll be a good one. Coach K started him in 2nd half in place of Lattin. Buddy 20+ good % shot well.

    Bad - gave up a ton of 3's...Cousin kind of got a little crazy (old ways) with a possession...not too bad. Never really "put them away"..but again, not sure that wasn't Coach K's decision.

    ugly - turnovers...8 the first half...stupid things.

    Overall another game to see a lot of time for the 2nd teamers, but I'd say we should go almost 10 deep...especially late in the season. Future looks really bright.

    Thanks for the notes. We don't get those exh games out here so all I can go by is a box score.

    We open up on the road @ Memphis Tuesday Night! We need to take advantage of the TV audience and get a key win.

    yup...I'm assuming you check out the official page? they usually have highlites and good write-ups.

    Soonersports.com

    yes, Tues is HUGE...I hate to say that, but damn, every other top 10 team played some cupcake and won 20+ from what I remember. I guess I just want a win..1 point is fine. Keeps everyone grounded.

    My son plays baseball at Coffeyville CC, we just signed their PG for next year. I was hoping they would play JUCO's here in KC, so I could go watch but but for some reason the schools in KC are D2 in basketball, but D1 in baseball...even from the same conf...ugh. CCC also has a 7fter from Okla a freshman...so maybe a little pipeline.

    Yea, i check those out as well.

    You'd be right, with the exception of Pitt/Gonzaga all the other games were total mismatches.

    Interesting. Like to see us reaching into various areas outside of Tx and Ok. Just have to scout well.

    Halftime, 42-41. Not our best half.

    Killed on the offensive boards 12-4, and 10 turnovers. Need to clean it up. Also 13-7 in the fouls.

    Hield leads all with 14, Spangler 6pts 7rbs, Woodard 5/4/4 assists. Couple of nice surprises by Freshman off the bench. James 7pts 1 rb, Buford 3pts, 4 rbs. Lattin non-existent in the first half with 2 fouls.

    Pretty simple, Offensive has played well, but need to cleanup the turnovers and get better on the O-boards.

    Hate to say it but similar flaws to last season, Spangler not very athletic and Cousins is shaky in key situations. It's still early and James looks solid but Thomas was a skilled big and not sure if Buford is there yet.

    The 7footer saw no action in the first half, maybe he gets some floor time to see how he can do on the boards?

    I cant complain when we play that poorly and still win. Well, i could but this early in the season its more important to get the team "game fit" and familiar with each other. In lon i trust. Season on!

    I'll take it for sure. We played a pretty decent opponent, on the Road and won. Got alot of stuff to cleanup but as stated, I'll take it as well.
