Excellent defense on Forte

[BigTime]

Well done boys.

Here here!

Yes! Was outstanding. Our boys were prepared.

Cousins was a man tonight on him

We appeared to have a great game plan to stop Forte. When he tried to get free from running off screens down low we often got through with him. But if we didn't we almost always had someone to pick him up when he looped around. That is how he gets a lot of shots but not many off OU tonight.

Booker was, too. His 4 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and a steal weren't all that impressive on the surface, but he looked more like his old self, plus he did a nice job defensively on Forte when Cousins was on the bench. It's good to see Frank playing well again!

Yep. And I noticed few times OSU was setting screens below the baseline (which is illegal), but it was never called.

yes it was. It's no joke that if you shut down Forte then the Cowboys have serious issues.

Booker played quite well. His assists were a thing of beauty.

Did he get an assist on Hield's slam????

Booker also showed some great vision on a couple of assist, where in the past he probably would have put the ball up, but instead found an open man closer to the basket. Nice assist!:OUbball-logo:

He should not have. He tried to make a bucket not a pass off the back board. That was a great play but it was mostly buddy.
