GAME 20 - OKLAHOMA (15-4) @ TEXAS A&M (15-5) 8:00pm CST on SEC NETWORK

Defense minus the fouls and rebounding has been good. 3s are saving us, FTs are saving them.

What’s crazy is I think - until the last five minutes - we were doing a much better job on the boards in this game compared to the last.

They are not a good offensive team but they just kill you on second chances. We have to keep them in front of us both on dribble and on boards. Not liking our chances there. 3 pointers are keeping us in it but not likely to keep 44% in 2nd half. Had no 3 pt makes in 2nd half at Arky.

We ought to pack the lane and make them hit 3s to beat us. That's the gameplan but we wont.

Toby stating the obvious, but we’ve been getting manhandled all season with no calls. It is what it is at this point. We have to figure out to win on the wrong side of the whistle.

Oh I agree, just pointing out our guy, who honestly is pretty unbiased, made that point.. followed up with the physical team gets the adv. I always told my teams you have to be physical from the beginning… set the tone.

Yeah, it's the on-ball defense. It needs to be a little bit better and the rotations need to be a little bit tighter. We're just getting a little bit out of position and that's leading to the offensive rebounds for them.

Pack the lane with Luke, Dayton, and Elvis? Lol

I wouldn't mind seeing a zone mixed in there for a possession or two.....just to give a different look. Not sure that will solve the rebounding issue, but it's worth a shot.

Fts shot...

OU - 4

We have 8 boards in a game with 33 missed shots.

 

[red recluse]

this thing is uglier than me in high school. keep it that way and we have a chance to steal it.

 

[steverocks35]

We gave up a rebound on a missed free throw… to the SHOOTER

i’ll take some more drives from fears and forsythe, please.

Just imagining the hate Porter would get if the team had a half where they were +19 on the boards and +16 on FTA and only up 1.

 

[TEvans4Three]

1pt game. Box out better, get to the line. Keep the turnover ratio as is, we can do this.

 

[WichitaSooner]

28-9 rebound disadvantage … only down 1 wow.

Toby saying a/m getting away with all kinds of pushing / shoving underneath

This is why I don’t listen to the OU broadcast. That’s not a knock on Toby. The WSU radio guy is a great announcer but if you listen to any of their games, you’d think they get a bad whistle every single game. Every college broadcaster is a homer when it comes to discussing officiating.

With whatever we have, yes. Everyone on the board knows that pm has failed the 5 spot, of course.

Actually if we could lead/win a game where we couldn’t throw it in the ocean but made up for it with defense and rebounding and competing, I’d be behind giddy.

I agree but they might drive past us and get the offensive rebound anyway. I was pleased to see us take a couple of charges.

I know what you mean and typically agree but this is A&M’s kind of ugly game. It’s unlikely they will be 1-13 from 3 in 2H.

Disagree about the ou guys. They’ve really called an unbiased game. Most every foul OU has done they’ve agreed… saying we are just standing around watching vs blocking out, reaching instead of trying to take a charge.
