Last 5....call your shot!

[92grad]

I know the old adage....take 'em one at a time. However, that's for the team to worry about, fans can look ahead.

vs. KSU: W 79-70. I think the full week of rest and practice is much needed for OU right now. I look for them to come out strong and ready to play on Saturday.

@ KU: L 88-74. I believe we'll keep it fairly close for 3/4 of the game, but KU puts us away as their crowd is JACKED for a Big Monday clash heading into March Madness

vs. Texas: W 72-71. Texas comes in hell-bent on revenge, but our dudes hold on in a tight one. This win does more for OU's seeding than any other as UT is currently the media darling in the league.

vs. WVU: W 87-82. WVU matches up well with OU, but I think they were peaking when we played them there, and have since cooled off a bit. OU gets some revenge of their own here.

@ TCU: W 64-60. I started to predict a loss here after huge wins for OU at home vs. UT and WVU, but can't force myself to do it. Seems like TCU always gives us fits (even @ home earlier this year), and we could be ripe for a season ending upset, and get caught looking ahead to B12 tourney. I have faith these guys won't let that happen, although the Tech game may say otherwise.

Thsi would put us at 23-8 (12-6), and probably around a 5 seed pending the conference tournament. IF we can go a minimum of 1-1 in conference tourney, we stay a 5 seed....if we lose our opener, I predict we'd drop to a 6-7 seed.

I think we lose @KU, and one of either the KSU, UT, or WVU games. 4-1 isn't out of the question, I just think we'll slip up once more. So 3-2 would be my guess.

 

[AdaSooner]

I agree that 3-2 is our more likely finish. I'm hoping for 4-1.

I won't even allow myself to think about going 5-0. Well, looks like I just did. But it wasn't a realistic thought.

 

[JBaker]

I could see us winning in Lawrence but dropping one of the home games or Fort Worth.
This team can be a bit bipolar.

 

[BCSooners]

I think they should go 4-1, but 3-2 seems more likely since we haven't played well lately.

 

[dubyac]

4-1... losing in Lawrence...

 

[Stikboy]

If we lose any of those final home games I'll be sick, especially UT. Well, all of them. We owe all of them. At the same time we appear to be one of the better OU road teams I can remember, this team seems to be just as likely to lose at home as win on the road. Hopefully when we get more inside defensive help next season that will help us be more invincible at home...

Hoping for 3-2.

 

[DenverSooner]

Hoping for 3-2.

I don't get this. How are you not hoping for 5-0?

This is a reasonable guesstimate. I would love to sweep our remaining home games, but we are going to need a better effort on team defense and value the ball better (not forcing it). KSU and Texas are two of the better defensive teams in the league....so we are definitely going to have to earn it.

 

[BoulderSooner]

i think we go 3-2 .. i would like to defend home court and go 4-1

 

[MNsooner]

Well, I wouldn't be surprised to see us go anywhere between 2-3 and 5-0. I am cautiously optimistic about a 4-1 finish. We are pretty good at home and we aren't playing anyone in Norman that we shouldn't be able to beat.

 

[AdaSooner]

I don't get this. How are you not hoping for 5-0?

I think we're all hoping for 5-0. But, 3-2 and what I see as a fantastic 4-1 finish seem to be more realistic.

 

[IndySooner]

vs. KSU: W
@ KU: L
vs. Texas: W
vs. WVU: W
@ TCU: W

My guess is we lose one of the four we should win and finish 3-2.

 

[soonervegas]

Ksu - w
@ku - l
ut - l
wvu - w
@tcu - w

I agree with the 3-2. I think if Texas is healthy when we play, I think we will lose that game. Texas is playing some really good ball right now and outside of losing @KSU with Holmes going out 9 mins into the game they have been quite dominant.

 

[Darwin]

I believe shooting goes in streaks good or bad. I think we are on our way up. We have a chance at KU if we are hot and they are not but 4-1 is my guess , 2nd seed in the Big12, 5 seed in the dance.
