Back on track?

[coolm]

TCOB today and I'm thinking we're back on track where we should've been expected to be. right?

Somehow pull one out against the 'clones and we're maybe ahead.

thoughts?? I think asking for a win against ISU is a stretch - but this team does have the talent.

We can't overlook today's road game against TCU, of course, but I agree that a win against ISU would put us back on track with the goals we set before the season began. I think it's a game OU will win, because this team matches up pretty well with the Cyclones.

If we hold serve at home and make KSU pay for their last second win in Norman, we'll be in great shape to get a high seed in the NCAA tourney. Even slip or two along the way, and we're still in good shape.

We should win both but neither will be easy. At home, we should expect to beat ISU. Believing they should come in to Norman and win concedes that they're substantially better than us and I just don't think that's true.

On a neutral court, I think we're probably about even. In Norman, we should win.

I think we'll still be one game behind where we should be. That KSU loss at him is going to take a key road win to balance.

If we were 8-3 going into ISU, that would be on track with a chance to get ahead.

I think our starting 5 is as good as anyone in the conference and the team is playing really well right now. I expect to win the next 2 games. My biggest concern is our depth. Lattin does a good job on defense, but Booker and Walker have been a little spotty….. although Walker had a decent outing last game.

I admit I was worried when we went through the stretch where we lost 4 of 5 games, but they seem to have "righted" the ship. I'm hoping for 5 wins in our next 6 games (last 3 easy). Then we have a killer last 2 games.

At home it is not a stretch. OU should beat everyone in the Big XII at home with the possible exception of KU. Talent is similar between all other teams. It was a bad loss to KSU.

I'm not sure I understand this thought. ISU is a talented, but with the exception of road game wins at Iowa (non-con) and WV, they've shown to be very average to below average away from Hilton. They really weren't that competitive in Lawrence and they lost to Tech. IMO, it isn't a stretch that we win this game by 10 points.

I think OU has a fairly solid 9 man rotation. The only thing they are missing is someone that consistently scores off the bench (more than 5 point per game). If during February, Walker, Booker or Lattin can become that guy, OU is going to be very, very difficult to beat. I think Bennett is fine for a 4th big.
