GAME 28- OKLAHOMA (13-14) vs AUBURN (15-12) 8:00pm CST on ESPNU

Solid win but more strange substitution patterns. No minutes at all for Atak?

Porter Moron is a moron

7-1 when wague scores double digits. Our only loss was the choke job against A&M. That means 6-12 when he can’t score. Ball inside to open up outside. Super novel idea.

Speaking of coaches who won’t pan out. Nepo baby hire Pearl won’t.

You might be right but in all likelihood, in three weeks he will already equal the number of tourney appearances that Moser has as an SEC coach.

Missed the game, work at 5am, so obviously had to sleep.

We shot 68% from 3pt range? lol wow.
Looks like Mo had a solid game.
No Atak minutes...not surprised.

Going super heavy with the top 7 lineup.

While I want a new coach I am NOT actively rooting for OU to lose, ever. This was a game I really wanted to win - spoil Auburn's tournament hopes and Pearl throwing his arms up after every possession complaining. And their fan base...

i think it is also if he is scoring PM plays him more (and that means he is not in foul trouble) .. and he is very important for the OU defense to even have a pulse

This is the way

Ou can win rest of reg season games and Moser should still be fired. Only way ou makes the tournament now is if they win the conference tournament. That won’t happen.

I hope you’re right but I could see a doomsday scenario where we win a couple more regular season games, then a meaningless Wednesday game in Nashville, and Denny or whoever makes the decision uses that to justify another season. That would be ridiculous and unjustified, but it’s also ridiculous that he has been given five years, so I wouldn’t rule it out. I think our best bet is finishing so poorly that Denny can’t possibly think there is a single reason to keep the bum around for another second.

The decision to move on from Moser has pretty much been made already by the fans via the hemorrhaging ticket sales. His buyout can essentially be paid for if most of those ticket sales return.

Well, they got their ass handed to them as well… crazy after the way they’ve played. Baseball such a weird game… in that sense. Ark st beat the pigs 12-4 I think

Yep. Like the other poster mentioned, OU baseball will need to figure out their midweek starting pitching. The three weekend guys have been good so far. The others have not. And it matters because a) they play midweek games pretty much all season, and b) it takes more than 3 starting pitchers to be successful in the postseason.

The big difference in the Mo Wague in the last couple of games is avoiding the early foul trouble. If he picks up a foul early, he loses his aggressiveness, ironically creating more foul trouble as he doesn't move as much and reaches more.

The other thing that helped Mo last night, and was really the first time I can recall Porter doing this, is we had that high/middle pick and roll working and kept going to it over and over. They literally had no answer to it. That was a huge factor early with him picking up some early fouls on Auburn and getting them in foul trouble.

Finally, told a buddy of mine at the game, it's crazy the best play we get out of Mo is when he is fasting. Maybe he focuses more, but we need that play year-round.

Auburn getting dominated by a bad OU team should immediately remove them from NCAA tourney consideration.

We will find out how seriously the new OU leadership is about basketball. No matter what happens, there is no doubt that moser has failed at OU and should be fired. Worst OU bball coach of my lifetime and that includes capel. There is really no decision to be made if we’re serious about basketball success. I think moser is done and will be fired, regardless of winning a few more games. Theres no way this team will win 4 games in the conference tourney so the NCAA tourney is not happening.
