GAME 1 - OKLAHOMA (0-0) vs SAINT FRANCIS (0-0) 7:30pm CST on SEC NETWORK+

[Moneyball]

This is not the same team that played against Wisconsin. wtf happened??

44 in a half to this competition is a major yikes. Need to clamp down during these last 20. Guards need to be much more physical defending on the perimeter. Brown and Pack are going to have to give us at least something on that end of the floor

 

[stormspencer]

Team defense is pretty much abysmal. I'm not going to panic, but this team has so much to work on. If you had SFU +33....I think you're safe.

 

[WichitaSooner]

Why does OU always have less shots than the other team? Besides rebounding...

That always comes down to three things. Rebounding, turnovers, and FTs. We have four more TOs and have attempted the only 9 FTs, so that explains it.

 

[Boom Soon]

Why am I getting 2022 vibes??

 

[slappy in OP]

I bought ESPNUnlimited till this plays out. But the thing is after basketball season I won't even have YTTV or ESPN services anyway.

What do you think of ESPN Unlimited so far? I’ve heard it is less than ideal.

That wasn’t a real game. Like I said last week, if anyone can tell me how many games their favorite teams won in Spring Training or the NFL fake games in the preseason, I’d be stunned.

 

[Boom Soon]

I do wonder who the leader of this team will be. Sam had his weaknesses but he was a program glue guy. I worry that there isn’t one for this team.

 

[ouboomer]

the ability to score points thumbs up, but no lead is safe without playing good defense...gotta find it in the 2nd half.

Fair point

Played to win neither team subbed in non rotational guys

Different year same story?

Saint Francis is especially bad. OU has had plenty of non conference struggles but the last half was very alarming.

And there were no stakes whatsoever. We sat Davis after he landed on his tailbone. No chance he sits if that’s a real game. And we did play Blair several minutes, and I don’t think there is any chance he sees the floor if that’s a regular season game. But regardless of who did or didn’t play, it’s different when you know it doesn’t count.

ESPN's interface is terrible. It honestly sucks.

 

[pnkranger]

First game -- Defense was terrible in the first half of the Wisconsin game, and Moser made adjustments. My guess is we win by 25+. Just need to string a few stops together.

 

[NickZepp]

I liked a lot of the offense that half.

 

[SunshinePumper]

Come out of halftime and immediately turn it over and lose the lead. Not much sunshine to pump here Wicks is the best player on the floor

 

[BoulderSooner]

Davis about time

 

[WichitaSooner]

Two of the most careless TOs you’ll ever see in the first couple mins of the half.
