can we get one of those for the new, potential, LNC remodeling??
@OU_MBBall: A D.J. Bennett two-handed slam on the inbound brings the Belgian crowd to its feet. Think M'Baye vs. OSU in Norman. #Sooners
@OU_MBBall: FINAL SCORE: #Sooners 84, Waregem 66. OU improves to 2-0 in Europe, plays again in Antwerp tomorrow morning CT. Tonight's stats coming.
I love how they are finishing these games off in the final quarter. Repelling runs, pressure defense, offensive rebounding... Different identity from last season.
Me, too! I'm also impressed by the number of players who are contributing on offense, something most of us were concerned about this season. I haven't seen any stats for the game just ended. But through the first two games in Belgium, 8 different players had scored 14 or more points. And they did it without Buddy in the lineup.
Since we don't know much about the competition so far, I realize it would be a mistake to take too much from these games. But I still can't help but be encouraged by the performances our kids have turned in through the first three games, on defense as well as offense.
I was gonna say, our guys are really stuffing some stats. If some of these new guys can really score like this in the real season we will be in for a treat. However, facing a team like Kansas might be a little different than the Belgium dudes... But at any rate, I agree 100% KBaden... It would have been interesting to see how Buddy would have fit in. By the way, how long are the quarters?
Belgium has a total population of around 11 million which is 1/3 the combined population of Oklahoma/Texas.
When you consider there are only 3-4 players in the entire state of Oklahoma each year good enough to get an offer from OU, along with the fact that basketball is infinitely more popular in the US you get an idea of the competition level. Probably quite a bit less than normal exhibition games which you can tell by the amount of turnovers we have been forcing.
If it was cycling or soccer they would be stomping us. lol
It's nice to see Bennett putting up numbers but you really have to question if it means anything since these teams likely have nothing in the paint to slow him down.
