I know the 3-2 zone gave OU fits against Butler, but I feel like when Cortes is in the game, the offense seems to run a little smoother. He needs to shoot when he is open, but I love his floor game and think he can really grow into a great player.
I would have liked to see CJ play more too. He is the second best perimeter shooter (IMO) and against the 3-2 zone, he would have been a good option.
Fortunately, most coaches in the Big 12 will not play zone, so, hopefully, OU won't see it too much in the future.
Hoping this is a loss that will not come back to bite them in the butt, but it might as they look to make the tourney. Beating Arky this weekend would really help!
