Bubble Watch

What I didn't like hearing from the committee guy was why they picked SMU. SMU has lost 6 of their last 8 games...BUT, they gave them the nod due to some player coming back from injury. This dude (Edwards) is their 3rd leading scorer...but is a good defensive player (eye roll). So is that the kind of crap criteria they are making decisions on?? Why not factor in our loss at Mizzou, where they pulled two last second shots out of their asses...or even the most recent Arky game for us, where Acuff played out of his mind and hits a couple of ridiculous shots that barely got them the win. I get it, not every team is going to be happy...but why can't they simply ask themselves this....IF OU and SMU played tomorrow, who would be favored, and who would they think would win that??

How many games did Jadon Jones and Dayton miss? Did we lose those games?

Then about 4-5 of the usual suspects on here will be on suicide watch this time next year. I'm surprised they aren't already protesting like all the blue hairs.

Dumb. Nothing id like more then 20% moser to randomly go off again and get us to the final 4 or better. My dislike for this idiot is overridden always be the team's success

Not dumb. I guess you felt I was talking about you??

I just don’t think he’s going to have as much talent next year as this year if he gets more NIL. ESPECIALLY if Brown, and Reid leave. He may finally get a good five, but then we lose Pack, Brown and Jones. That’s three good guards that need to be replaced. And probably Atak and Reid. That is so much talent to replace. Even in the portal era. This really was supposed to be “the year.” The only hope is maybe next year’s team gels quicker or just fits better.

And I don’t know where Denny is gonna get the money from. Maybe a few more million, but he mentioned having the community rally around the team and supporting it. That is not happening under Moser. 90% of fans are done with him. How much more can OU’s NIL realistically increase? He’s very clearly not in tune with OU basketball

Brown isn't going anywhere. His step-father is literally a coach on the staff. They are going to give Brown the Fears role next year. Watch.

I assume Reid was happy with his usage and such this year. I'm not saying we won't have to fight to keep him, but I think he'll stick around.

I don't really care about anybody else. I'd probably keep Rogers (didn't really like what I saw from him though) and Forsythe. The rest can leave.

As for Rogers, I and a few others were right about him, at least this year. He was never billed as an athletic big. A moderately athletic big that cannot shoot is going to need some great skills or instincts to be able to contribute. I'm not sure I see that potential in him.

Great, but I saw what he did with a top 10 portal class. He’s a terrible coach we should have fired.

People keep forgetting about this. I'm really not sure what they expect us to do with a little more money. That was a really good class this year, especially if you factor in the Russian. We also paid to keep Wague, Jones, Nwankwo, Forsythe, and Atak, while signing Rogers out of the HS ranks.

On paper I'm going to guess our roster for next season doesn't look as good as it did this season. Maybe the results are different, but on paper, I'm guessing we were more talented/experienced this year.

OU should NEVER be in a position to have to worry about what Miami of Ohio does so we can get a tournament bid. Sad.

Also, people are saying we were the last team out, lost out because Miami Ohio lost or St. Louis lost.....but it was a weak bubble even before that. I think most years we'd be at least a couple of spots further out, to where even Miami Ohio and St. Louis winning, we still might have been out.
 
come on you morons, youre all missing why we not only didn’t get in the tourney but also a top 4 seed.

Alec blair leaving the team. Soooooo obvious.

Anyway, can’t wait to lurk next season and watch you all fight again!

the answer was about Miami’s schedule not comparing teams.

Regardless if we are good/bad, deserve or not, or if PM should stay or go, I think we can all agree Miami (OH) may not be deserving based on the worst schedule of any tournament team in history.

Watching him play baseball, he should have just entered the MLB draft. He's going to be a good player. He already is.

I still hate that he gave up b-ball so soon, but I totally understand. I’m not saying he would have been the next Ryan Minor in b-ball, but the kid can play.
