2-1 against that field is a good trip.

Do I wish we had played better against Wisconsin in the second half yes of course

But everyone other than Gary should be happy wih the trip
 
I'd hazard a guess that Gary came away a lot happier than some of these Chicken Little posters we've been getting lately.

I am pretty happy with the trip. I'm not one of the pea brains on here knocking the players and coaching moves. And it is OK if the pop in pop off artist wants to take a shot because I'm high on my team.
 
Everyone should be high on this team. This might be the best 9 man rotation I have seen at OU in a long time. The defens is the best it has been in several years.

It was a really good tournament for us. We picked up two quality wins and also had some weaknesses exposed that we can improve upon moving forward.

We have an opportunity to get more cohesive as a unit and get on a roll before conference season. It looks like we are going to be favored by double digits in every remaining non-conference game (possible exception with Washington).
 
The rebounding performance they put on alone should please any Sooner fan. Add in some really good defense and there was a lot to be happy about!!
 
I'm very high on them as well. It takes time.

I am as well. I think having to play a team like Wisconsin as the third game in three days would be a tall order for any team. I think that was part of our problem in the second half. I don't know if Wisconsin has any weakness so you can afford mistakes against them. I was excited to see Bennett/Booker/Walker play better and hope that is a preview of things to come as this was against tough teams. I like to see Bennett taking those dunks! Overall I was a happy camper.
 
The one thing a tough schedule does is help you learn what you have quicker. Changes and adjustments have to come quicker and players are on edge and more engaged, in my opinion. I really like this group. I feel when it comes together, their individual games will fit really well. The bench is also coming together really good. We need to get Lattin going again. It reminds me of some of Sampson's team. Good rebounding and defending out of the gate with the offense a bit slower to come around. Always good pieces and I think that's what we've got here.

I was tickled to death to get the quality wins over UCLA and Butler. Really proud of the team. The loss to Wisconsin will only help us get better.
