It’s hoops you troll. Shots didn’t fall. Ever play?? Didn’t think so. Boomer

We’ve found Porter Loser’s burner account.

The irony of that dude calling anyone a troll.

Defense isn’t where it needs to be. We will improve.

Not to worried about early games like these. Ran good offense and got really good looks consistently in the first half, just didn’t make them. Happens sometimes. That is basketball.

I am still in football mindset, so just watched the first half. But it sounds lije we played them pretty even in the second half

Why aren’t you worried about “early games?” Do you not realize this game counts EXACTLY the same as a March conference game?

Will you be worried if we lose on Saturday and all but guarantee another missed tournament by Moser? This team has no margin for error.

Truly bizarre how many of our fans choose to be willfully ignorant regarding the significance of noncon games.

Also it’s bizarre that some of our fans are excited because we “played them evenly in the second half.” Uh, ASU didn’t need to win the second half. Do people think this is an accurate measure of anything?

Yea it’s like people think we get credit for the second half against ASU and Gonzaga when they had it on cruise control after beating the snot out of us in the first half.

If OU loses on Saturday then they gotta win 12 conference games to even be in the conversation for the tournament. Any SEC team would be sweating if that happens. 12 conference wins is incredibly tough.

I'm not going thru this whole thread, but I can't imagine any OU fan being remotely encouraged after what happened last night. We were up 4-0. Hurley substitutes all 5 starters at once, and they go on a 27-2 run...GAME OVER. I can't imagine taking anything positive from that.

If we shoot 28% like we did in the first half, I fully expect to lose all those games. I hear what every is saying about Porter and his time here, but at the end of the day, players have to make shots. We missed WIDE OPEN shots the whole 1st half. Many of them from guys who have shot well this year. That's on the players. Now could there have been better team defense, 100%...and that's on the coach for not getting more effort out of them.

Part of Coach Moser's job is to instill in them that offense does not always travel, but defense must. It's easy for players to get frustrated when missing open shots to the point where it negatively impacts their defense. Coach can't let that happen. I remember an OU-Maryland game from the 2000-2001 season...we went several minutes without scoring. I was easily riled up in those days and remember not handling it well. However, our defensive intensity kept us in the game throughout (though we lost). I just looked up the halftime score, and it was 27-25 Maryland. When shots aren't falling, you can't give up on defense - and that's exactly what we did last night.

I don’t know how any sane person can defend Moser at this point. We were not ready to play. If it was a one-off it would still be bad but excusable. But what we’ve seen is a continual pattern of this over his 5 years here. He’s just completely inept. I’ve seen enough. In fact, I saw enough at least 2 years ago. I’m tired of the excuses. Let him go be mediocre somewhere else.
