Getting a nice midwestern flavor midday tomorrow.
TU-ORU at 11 am followed up by Baylor and I believe Lasalle.
Then Kansas State and a pretty good test after that.

Disappointed I have class during VT@KSU and OSU@Fla, which will probably be the two most entertaining games. I'll watch SC@MSU for sure, and probably some of Butler@Louisville as well.

Miami just chucked up an atrocious 3-pointer that really did not need to be taken that early...they go down 72-68

Enjoyed the memphis and miami game, i like both teams style of play. I am interested in seeing perry jones play. Lots of solid games on tuesday night. Louisville is opening up a new 22,000 arena with 5 new starters.

Just remembered former Sooner recruit Trey Zeigler is playing for Central Michigan, one of about 5 top 50 guys to visit last year and not sign with OU.

Central is a mediocre basketball team even with him there...my friends that go there say it's literally only him, the rest of their guys are not good at all.

Why the heck did he go to Central Michigan?

His dad is the coach there.

Ah, makes sense.

Ah, makes sense.

It does, but at the same time, father/son coach/player relationships always seem awkward to me.

I watched the 2nd half of that Central Michigan vs Hawaii game. I thought Central Michigan had the makings of a pretty good team. Typical MAC team- physical/quick guards and a few muscled up undersized posts. Hawaii beat them but Central Michigan is picked to win the MAC. And Hawaii's gym was rocking (shocking to me). They had a huge homecourt advantage in that one.

Zeigler made a critical turnover down the stretch. Hawaii held on to win 65-62. Gritty win for the Sooners last night. Easy to fold when you have a shooting night like that. Glad to see you all pull it out. Very impressed with the court awareness of Thompson.

I think you will see Baylor use Perry Jones a lot like OU uses Thompson- point forward at the top of the key. Smart move by Drew in my opinion. Perry has a tendency to drift when he is playing off the ball. If you force him to have the ball a lot, he stays engaged and he is a lot more effective.

Back in the late 80s/early 90s Hawaii used to have some pretty good things going in basketball, and a very loyal fan following. I remember them beating some pretty darned good Tulsa teams.

Edit: you can actually go all through the 90s and even into the 2000s and Hawaii has had steady success in basketball.
