This is a great thread and an eloquent (as always) yarn spun by the GOAT of OU basketball fans/posters. So forgive me for straying a bit off topic and jumping into the Fears discussion… In the old days I’d say going pro was actually kind or risky for a player like Fears. He is NOT ready to...

And to me this is a fact regardless of who the coach might be. And the only way to get those 2-3 top level players is to open up wallet. I think we can all agree that the team hasn’t had the elite level of talent required to compete at the top of the B12 or SEC. And I don’t think it would be...

So, I’ve really pondered this in the weeks since I posted it. And on the surface, considering how we played down the stretch and wound up making the tourney with room to spare… I think the most reasonable answer to the question I posed in the title is “No.” It would be hard for me to argue...

Play in not in play now

So the guys that weren’t quick enough to stay with him when he had the ball would have been able to lock him down in the front court when he didn’t have the ball?

You all are making it sound like it’s really simple to just deny a guy the ball whenever you want. If that were the case, the best player would never be able to receive an inbounds pass in late clock situation. To me the goal there should be to force a jump shot and take your chances. I didn’t...

People nit-picking the defensive gameplan on the final play are being a bit ridiculous. It’s not like football in terms of “play design.” They were clearly expecting Oweh to get the ball and they clearly ran two guys at him. Goodine got screened early and didn’t do an awesome job recovering...

I mean cmon. If denying a guy the ball was that easy then no greet player would ever get the ball at the end of the game.

Oweh is actually a badass. Seems like more of an indictment on us than him that he didn’t do this in Norman.

Oweh dominating the game. Best player on court by far. Tip your cap.

Oweh is pretty damn good… exerting his will on the game

All of the criticism Moser took throughout Jan/Feb was deserved. The questions about his fit in Norman and future were all legitimate. But two things can be true at once. And what is also true is that after the LSU debacle the team has responded astoundingly well. They have played tough...

From someone like me who has been very critical over the past couple months, Moser and the team absolutely deserve credit for how they’ve played down the stretch. Things were very ugly, but they didn’t pack it in and they didn’t get the crushing losses to UK and Miss end the season. They have...

No real way now to finish ahead of Arkansas in the debate unless we win 3+ games from here on out. So I’d say cross them off the list and mark them down as one team for sure ahead of us come Selection Sunday. Seems pretty simple; the game tonight will provide an absolutely wild swing in our...

Here is my semi (not really) educated guess: —OU beats Texas and wins at least one in Nashville = 100% in and probably avoids play in —OU beats Texas and loses first round in Nashville = 75% in, but more likely as play-in team. Shenanigans on bubble could bump them out entirely but better...
