GAME 23 - OKLAHOMA (11-11) @ KENTUCKY (15-7) 8:00pm CST on ESPN2

Just like the end of the capel years, I find it hard to watch this crap. I will find something else to do instead of planning around OU basketball games. I am so mad at the state of the program and the complete mismanagement by Joe and the admin. Moser has been a failure from day one and should’ve been fired 2 years ago. The new arena is short sighted and another failure by Joe at only 5000 actual seats. Our once proud top 15 basketball program has been reduced to rubble and you can thank Joe C for that.

This is all so disappointing.

I think our guys are playing hard, we just didn't recruit physical, athletic SEC players. They seem like a group of nice young men, but Taj Gray or Romero Osby would not have put up with these guys. Soft.

Athletic enough? Yes. Physical enough? No.

If Moser had made the tournament years two, three and four then we could chalk this year to the portal class just not working out. Not all mercenaries pan out. But, Moser doesn’t have the luxury of that excuse this year.

I agree with pnkranger and Boom, just don't play very tough. Look plenty athletic and skilled to me. Pretty simple to me, Moser just hasn't and can't get these guys to play defense. One of the worst defensive teams in OU history. Hard to understand really, as Moser's teams have always played pretty good defense.

Have we even attempted to take a charge this year. I don't mean a forearm shove charge like Dayton took last night. I mean on one of these " i am just going to drive to the basket and lay it up and get in front of me if your man enough" plays where someone was man enough. We spend the entire game getting literally punked at the rim. If you put someone on their back early, we wouldn't see teams doing it throughout the games.

I really had high hopes for this team. I still believe this is the most talent Moser has had, and the most talented team at OU in 8-9 years. Sad for the team, the fans and Moser that this team is just cashing paychecks and mailing it in.
