GAME 32 - OKLAHOMA (19-12) vs GEORGIA (20-11) 8:30pm CST on SEC NETWORK (the Post Season has Arrived)

[TINY]

First time we've had back to back 20 win seasons since 2016

That’s a tremendous stat especially when you consider Coach had 2 of the very hardest schedules during that stretch as well.

Wague was great tonight but this game was an major outlier. He didn't foul and he played easily--by FAR--his best game of the season. If he'd been playing like that all season (without fouling), he'd have been getting more minutes. I think it's a case of him knowing he had to step up with Sam out, and I'm proud of him for doing so. But there wasn't a hint all season that he had a game like this in him. There were spurts, sure, but even then the fouls were a constant problem.

Sure and you're correct to a degree. But I have to imagine that a good coach could get wague to stop fouling and manage that better. But also, keep in mind that wague was behind Northweather even for part of this season, as the 3rd stringer. That's ridiculous. Wague should have been getting every minute he could have gotten in the meaningless games to get him in his best shape and more XP to learn better habits all year imo

I like our matchup with Kentucky, surely we'll guard Oweh better tomorrow.

 

[hoopsaustin]

even if i agree that every thing you are saying is correct (i don't ) Moser still should have played him until he fouled out EVERY SINGLE GAME

THIS

We beat Kentucky and there will be a few Whistlepig or Blantons tomorrow night from me for sure. Happy for this win, but it’s time for a cool run

Abso-effing-lutely.

i like goodine but he should NEVER lead the team in min unless he is supernova like against TAMU

This is probably true. But he’s pretty key to spacing since he’s a known dangerous shooter. Forsythe should have some of his minutes but he doesn’t have the size (and isn’t better at defense at this point, but will have time and should improve to be better). If we had a chance to be a better defensive team I think Goodine would be a liability. But since we aren’t a great defensive team and have to win with offense, he provides a trusted shot and more importantly, the defense is aware and has to adjust to him.

Isnt forsyth statistically beating goodine at 3%? For me, forsyth does those small things and is likely generally tougher than goodine. Id personally flip flop their roles rn if it were up to me.

i am not sure i agree with that goodine is pretty terrible on D

Specialist. If he makes 1 of his first two 3’s, he keeps his minutes. I HOPE he has one of those F BBN tomorrow 4-6 from 3 games. Let’s goooo

It's not like he's a freshman. He came in an experienced but flawed player. Neither Huggins nor Oats got him fixed in one season, either.

ummm NO

It just means more now…

Hope to make Nashville before I get too old, but KC will be tough to beat (even with the bull**** KU bias).

I'd take 6.5 right now with our streak

I just checked Lunardi's midnight update. We are now in the last-four byes along with Vandy, San Diego State and WVU. Beat Kentucky and we're off THAT bubble. I don't want to get greedy, but would prefer our opening round game be Thursday or Friday next week.

Agreed, 44% from 3 is elite but too much of a liability on defense

OU is not on the bubble any more they are now a lock

they are likely ahead of arkansas and vandy

And if he was getting more minutes in nonconference I think it would have (definitely should have) led to primary minutes as the big in conference. Both Wague and Godwin have been guilty of stupid fouls. Wague, however, can take a charge as we have seen. Luke, on the other hand, rarely fouls for obvious reasons.

It is my hope we get Sam back, Wague starts and Sam spells him. Luke only used in specific situations such as both in foul trouble or specific plays at end of half for example.

It doesn’t feel like this team is done. I don’t know if we will beat Kentucky, but the vibes are good right now.
