Lot to clean up BUT
- Thread starter BigTime
- Start date
I am shocked at some of the decisions made by Woodard and Cousins. They should be leading the team better than this. That was just dreadful.
Also, thought this was a game Thomas could dominate in the post, and he was just OK. I expect him to play better than what he has shown. Until the last few minutes, he had one rebound. I wish he would spend less time dribbling and get in there and bang.
This loss surprised me, to be honest! We are going to be really good, but this was a terrible performance for us.

Way too much experience on this team to give up an 18 point lead. Not a terrible loss based on who we lost too. But a horrible loss based on blowing that lead. Could've been an excellent quality win. Frustrating.
Good game, Sooners relaxed with the lead and you can't do that on the road. LK will have some great teaching points for practice tomorrow.
Agreed that Cousins and Woodard didn't play well enough to win on the road.

Give them credit though. They made shots and tightened up the D.

I agree that they relaxed too much with the lead. They lost their defensive intensity and never regained it. Hopefully, they'll learn from the experience.

I dont know BigTime, it's ok to expect a lot more from our guards at this point. They shouldn't be scared in hostile environments which was the case down the stretch of that game, very very disappointing.
That was very reminiscent of 2 years ago and goes to show right now we still have nobody to go to when we need a tough bucket which is very concerning - until that gets fixed we are going to be running in quicksand. You need to have someone to help pull out close wins - looks like Thomas may have to be that guy.

Hope not, but they were both bad tonight.

I agree with you. Just don't think it will happen many more times. Cousins never got into the flow of the game. Foul trouble hurt him.

I think they look fine. Borderline tournament team. I really like Chapman. No denying it was a bad loss, but only because we played so well in the first half....
The team we were destroying in the first half is the team that is Creighton this season.

I don't think they're very good, if they sniff the tournament I will be surprised. That homecourt is probably worth 5 points (maybe even 10 with those refs).

We'll see.
I think Creighton is a nice team.
Chapman is a good guard, their post players are big and play smart. And they can make 3's.
Not saying they are near what they've been but they are decent team.
We'll see how they do this year, wouldn't be surprised to see them in March.
OU should have won this game but guard play wasn't good enough down the stretch.

I was really hoping we had reached the point that we were playing for seeding and positioning from day 1. But from what I saw tonight we're not even close.
Our guard play was pathetic outside of Buddy's point total.
No leadership late and absolutely horrible perimeter defense during their run.
We've given up wide open 3's the last 2 seasons. I hoped that was a thing of the past but unfortunately I was mistaken.
