NO rebounds?????:ez-laugh:

Made up for the no rebounds with 3 turnovers. He’s got to get it together.

 

[inoref]

Young may end up with the Heisman

 

[MercedeSooner]

uh. wow.

 

[tooney]

Trae with 25 and 10 at the half! Our shooting is unconscious.

shooting 70% on threes and 68% on FG is unreal!

Guys, I think our offense is ok.

And I think our D is getting better. Lots of our players are starting to get in the right positions and are moving their feet better.

Freeman is getting better each week. I really like his game.

 

[CoachTalk]

We have a chance to be final 4 good

The only player I'm disappointed in tonight is Lattin. Zero points, zero rebounds, and 2 personal fouls. Hate to be negative in such a great game by the Sooners, but it is what it is.

Couple of steals, though -- or deflections that led to turnovers, anyway.

Lattin with a couple of bad plays.....first he doesn't clear the rebound, and then flips the ball in to a Northwestern player for a layup. Then he walks on the offensive end....:facepalm

1)I’ve never seen ou improve so much ina months time .From need to make the tourney to need to make the final four

2)Doolittle should have redshirted .

 

[Swans]

The only thing I could complain about is our propensity to give up the offensive rebound.

A Final Four will not happen unless OU can clean up their defense. The offense is incredible! But the defense still leaves a lot to be desired. NW missed a lot of open shots. And against the brutal Big 12 (never thought I would say that) OU will face much better teams than that. Now, OU can improve, and has improved. Their offense gives them a lot of wiggle room. Just curious how OU will look on an off-night, if their defense can keep them in a game.

Mt Olympus is the home of gods of Greek mythology. We don't need a new arena. We need our own mountain for this myth.

you guys really need to relax about the defense.

Our defense isn't that bad........the biggest problem we have on defense is when our centers are isolated down low...all of them get backed down under the goal.

Which is by design. Let the post play 1v1 and limit the open looks from the outside.

Getting pushed too low needs work.

Which would be approximately double what they usually allow.

Toby says the place is close to packed tonight; is that so? I'm listening for now (recording it at home).

Yes, heard someone say they were selling SRO tickets. Any empty seats were sold, ticket holders didn’t show. Patty Gasso was sitting in upper section right across aisle from me!
