[WichitaSooner]

thats not what happened in that game but ok

lol sure thing, tell yourself that.

 

[soonertrash77]

Ok guys good playin. Come out hot in second half and we’ll get right back in this thing

 

[pncparn]

There is a huge crowd here. Whoever says different is lying

 

[IBSooner]

Gotta hit open shots. Chip away I guess but probably gonna be the latter

Lol. Wear them down by giving them too much success and then chip away at the 20 pt lead. Perfect pm plan

 

[snydrosooner]

I can’t figure out who to blame for today. Fans? Refs? NIL? The committee?

Players don’t appear to want to go for rebounds. Not sure if plan or not. I know Kruger did that on purpose at times. Only send one for rebound.

 

[Stikboy]

I feel I may have been a little hard on Northweather. I believe what I said but I don't think it's his fault. He should not be playing in the SEC. I hope Moser leaves by whatever means after this season and Luke is able to transfer to a conference where he can have success. Him playing in a league like this is a disservice..

Nope it's laziness from the coaching staff on down.. that COULD be a strategy we could use - just out work and out tough them pounding the glass. But no, we don't do anything well and don't out work teams in any area except incompetence

 

[stormspencer]

When there appears to be a lack of demand of effort as well as poor discipline, this is the type of outcome you're going to get against the better teams. Combine that with continual massive holes in the roster every year and we are a bottom tier conference team for the fourth straight year. And for people that bitch about the fan support, who the f... would want to come out and watch this team in its current state?....seriously.

 

[CMSOONER]

One thing I've noticed is we rarely swing the ball. Anytime there's a pass, it's a ball stop, look for shot, take offense action, pass as last resort.

We have had open shooters, but we don't look for them. Most of our guys are looking to get theirs.

Very true, BUT the admin can’t take a flyer on another mid major darling. We need a coach with a real resume AND a legit NIL investment.

Also, most of our rebounding issues are on the defensive end, which obviously isn’t a strategy. Although, who knows, this idiot coach is so bad there’s no telling lol.

Bingo. It's a terrible product. Stemming from terrible coaching and incompetent roster management.. at least keita keita gets to have court side seats from our ou basketball charity to watch games..

They're looking to get theirs because teams can just switch on us 1-5. There is not anyone that can consistently break down a defense at this level on this team. Fears has his moments, same with Forsythe, but no one else can.

Hard to have both based on what people here have said on our nil budget.

Unfortunately, you can probably say that about most of our roster. We don't have the horses to compete in a league like this. And when you don't have the roster, you have to fight and scrap like hell.....which we are only capable of on rare occasions.

 

[pncparn]

Until we start paying for great players the coach is irrelevant

Why would someone with that kind of a resume want to come to OU? Hell, the arena is 1/3 full for the #4 team in the country. And it's a 16-6 team, not a below .500 team.

 

[WichitaSooner]

It’s just amazing that Loser can be so bad at everything. Let’s pretend that all the crap from the Moser apologists is true. Poor NIL, lack of support, etc. Does any of that explain how he can’t get his team to play hard and compete? Was just watching a first half highlight package during halftime of the Kentucky game, and it’s just staggering how many wide open shots Tennessee had. You could have the worst NIL in the country, but should be able to get your team to play hard. Can’t wait to hear his postgame nonsense this time. We made it a whole three weeks after the Texas debacle to have another piss poor effort at home. HE IS INCOMPETENT
