Game 9 - FIELD HOUSE GAME #21 OKLAHOMA (8-0) vs. ALCORN (0-9) 7pm CST on SEC NETWORK+

No, that’s not really what happened. We fell behind by nine less than four minutes into the game because, as Moser himself said, the starters didn’t come out competing on defense. The second unit got us back in the game so he stayed with them for a lot of the first half. Forsythe made some shots in the first half and Moser liked Wague’s energy so he stayed with them.

The second half was the opposite. The starters looked great and built a huge lead in the first five minutes, but the bench came in and played fairly sloppy. The game was never in jeopardy but it was a pretty blah effort and it counts the same in KenPom and the other per-possession metrics as it would on March 7.
Alcorn was overall record last year of 14-18 but was 13-5 in conference. They will win in conference to make this a better win. Not great, but better.
 
Dayton with seven assists. He is a willing passer. Now we have to see if he can perform against better competition.
 
Toby talked about the crowd. He guessed it was because it was a Saturday night (the previous fieldhouse was on a weeknight, he thought). He wondered out loud if next time they'd allow non-students to attend.

I will say that one of the pleasures of listening to the OU radio broadcast this time of year is getting to the BC Clark Christmas jingle. It's a treat to hear it here in NYC.
 
It should never be students only. I think it’s fine to give preferential treatment to the students every now and then. Let them get in free or something. Obviously, had others been allowed to attend it would’ve been completely packed, which is one of the most basic points of having it at the field house.
 
SEC continuing an unbelievable noncon performance. Mizzou takes down KU, A&M beats Tech. Unless I’m forgetting any games, KU, Houston, and Iowa State (likely the three best teams in the Big 12) are 0-4 against the SEC.

Edited to add: we dropped 8 spots in the NET overnight.

Texas is currently taking it on the chin from UConn. They may make it closer but I will be very surprised if they overcome this 20 point deficit. UConn is starting to look like UConn.

Net overnight are you talking kenpon overall ratings? When I checked Friday night I believe we were 39. As of this morning we are 42. Trying to see if we are comparing the same numbers.

The NET, not KenPom. We dropped from 36 to 44.
