#6 in the country, a 2 seed in the NCAA tourney, ranked #1 at multiple points in the season, and a viable contender in the Big 12 and nationally. Yeah, they haven't accomplished a damn thing. Lol at some of you guys...
No doubt! Some people simply can't just enjoy the moment. No matter how good we have it being OU fans this year (getting to the final four in football and having a b-ball team ranked in the top 10) some people can still find a way to be negative about everything and feel miserable.
I want us to win every game as much as anyone but I DO NOT lose perspective on things and I feel so fortunate to just be in the FF conversation. Ask OSU how much they would love to just make the dang tourney, no matter being a #2 seed. If we were all honest with ourselves, we should all realize that this team is very good but has it's weaknesses. We are a jump shooting team and when we are playing loose, playing good defense and the shots are falling...we have proven we can play and beat anyone. We played in the best conference in the country this year. We played everyone twice. You can get exposed when you play top 20 teams night after night who are all so familiar with you.
The good news is...the 2nd season is about to start. We likely won't be playing against teams that are very familiar with us. And as much as certain teams can be a difficult match-up for us...we will also be a very difficult match-up for anyone we play. We also have the best player in the country to lean on. We also just proved that we can play a top 10 team to the wire with our best player only scoring 6 points. I guess it all depends on how you choose to look at things. You can be a pessimistic debbie downer and choose to believe that we have no chance to make it past the sweet 16 with our poor production from the post and our inability to make lay-ups.
I just choose to be positive. We have 4 starters who have started 100 games together. We have the best player in the country who will be on a mission. In the end, none of us can control the outcome...so it doesn't do any good to be negative!!! I just love the fact that we are relevant again and good enough to make a run in the best sporting event on the world. I grew up in the Tubbs era when we were ranked in the top 10 practically every year. The last few years of Capel were very hard for me to take. But having gone through them...I sure in the hell am not going to take anything for granted!!!
