I think our struggles had more to do with Tech's 2-3 zone than Buddy's struggles shooting the ball. Tubby knows how to play that zone. For much of the game, we just couldn't get the ball inside against the zone, which made it imperative that our jump shots go down. They didn't, and Buddy wasn't the only Sooner who struggled from the field.
Of course, we toughed it out and did just enough to win. We did so many things well in the final 5-6 minutes. And almost every OU player contributed down the stretch.
