GAME 1 - OKLAHOMA 93 (1-0) VS LINDENWOOD 60 (0-1) - Final

I'm reminded how soft college ball is these days. Sooo hard to watch players not be able to even touch players defending

Just as I get excited, 11-0 run for Lindenwood.

11-0 run. Maybe time for a timeout

nice take by fears

fears taking care of the ball and not turning it over

 

[SoonerfanOU10]

Mixed bag for me that first half. Up 23 at one point, but only end the half up 14.

 

[Moneyball]

Solid half. Pretty clear that fears is going to be starting soon. Elvis isn’t anywhere close to that talent.

 

[StoopsBros]

Oklahoma State 39
Fighting Gottliebs (GBay) 38

At the half.

Hes special. He has "it". And looks really unselfish, maybe too much. I think moser's offense is just not a fit for power conferences, my way too early fear is we are back to the usual..

Goodine looks great too.

I liked most of what I saw for much of the half, but didn't like watching them kick our ass on the boards the last five minutes of the half. And that 11-0 run....good gawd. Lindenwood is gawd awful, but I understand we are a work in progress as well. Would like to see the guys assert themselves in the first 8 minutes of the 2nd half. Lots of news guys and moving parts. I'm actually glad we play a horrendous schedule at the beginning of the season....this team needs some time to figure some things out. I'm elated college basketball is back!

Lack of athleticism in the back court is going to be an issue. The downgrade from Waldo and Oweh in that department is very evident. Going to really have to hope Goodine can shoot at a high level against real teams to offset some of that.

We had the best athletes possible last year and it didn’t work. Hoping the 3&D prototype will blend better with Moser’s style.

Puke. Oweh was the leading scorer for UK tonight.. 21. I may get proved wrong with him

Uh, athleticism is what you need for the D portion of that.

I won’t put too much stock in that since he did that kind of thing last year against awful teams, but I am pretty confident he will be much improved in conference play.

Not worried about the defense. Porter has proven he can put good defenses on the floor. Plus a lot of the guys we have are known for scrappy defense.

I don't know if it is a lack of athleticism that worries me, but more of a height issue.....we are an extremely small team comparatively speaking. We need our guards to help rebound because we have a lack of height at virtually every position. I do like Wague and I do think he can help in that area, but I see a potential issue of giving up too many second chance points once conference play starts.....hope I'm wrong.
