Great star 2nd half

Great run in the 2nd half. Really looking forward to watching it on tape delay at 10:30.

Sooners duplicate first half total of 36 points with 9:24 still remaining in second half. Much better

Anyone still wonder if the Reaves talk last season was hype? Hasn't even shot well yet is dominating the game. Everyone thinking we only had three known quantities might want to reconsider. And (I don't mean this to troll anyone) I think tonight's a very encouraging sign that Harmon does, in fact, have the ability to score at this level. There was a lot of discussion about that a few months ago.

they were just playing tight at the start of the game. Reaves and Williams sticking out so far.

Good lord Harmon is good

Free throw shooting is worth smiling at.

From the sounds of it (radio), Harmon will be a serious difference-maker. Can't wait to watch.

All without Doo. And Reaves was poop in first half

Bad night for the resident bedwetters

First game of the season=focusing on the positive!

Most interesting stat of game to me was Harmon’s 0 assists. Gave them all to himself which worked just fine.

Their two studs were 15/41 from the floor. Vic, Kuath, and Williams combine for 21. Hill scoreless. Another reminder not to overreact to exhibition games. And to be fair, we shouldn't get overly giddy based on tonight, either, beyond acknowledging some encouraging signs.

Liked the defense.

Biggest positive for me was the number of guys who look like they can play at the big school level. Impressed with Iwaukor and Williams. Hope Hill is OK. Didn't turn on the sound, did they say why Doolittle was not playing?

Reeves and Bieniemy really led the breakout. Still like to see Jamal look to score more. Good to see Harmon show some offense other than the drives to the hoop. Manek much better all around player this year.

Looked like we stopped running our offense after getting the big lead. Thought we rebounded well but suprised to see that both teams ended up with 44.

I think we have a shot at going 9 deep barring injuries.

Interesting to see JB with 2 points and 5 assists, while Harmon had 23 points and 0 assists. Was JB running a bunch of point? I didn't catch any of the game.

Kansas was the only Big 12 loss last night. Kansas only lost by 2 in spite of 28 turnovers. Not sure if that was good or bad.

doo played in an unsanctioned sumer game so he had a 1 game suspension

Probably overreacting like after the exhibition, but the team looked great... Austin Reaves looked great, Harmon looked great, Manek looked like Manek... and this was all without one of the best players on the team. You got exactly what you wanted out of first year backups like Kur, Victor, and Alondes.

Last year the team had a good non-con but I never really felt good about Reynolds or Calixte... because I knew they were really mid major guys... These guys looked different out there last night.

Looking very promising.

replay on Fox Oklahoma at 9 am this morning...

as to good/bad ku losing by 2 to duke with 28 TO's...I'd take that as "good"...their #13 fr looks smooth from the time I watched. They definitely are long and athletic...
