Low Point Of The Year!

[Sooner23]

Personally, I don't think OU's problem is with the guys that start, it is the guys that aren't playing and lack of bodies. Carl Blair should play about 5-10 minutes a game as a backup pg. OU needs another sg and a wing that can hit a 3 point shot. Grooms is fine but OU could probably use a better pg that can shoot although Grooms would be much better if the SF could shoot a 3 point shot. When neither the pg or sf can hit a 3 point shot, it allows the defense to collapse well inside the 3 point line (except for Pledger) that takes away the drives, makes it harder on the bigs and allows for easier rotations on Pledger.

OU has to get some 3 point shooters. I really hope Kruger can find a kid in the jucos that can consistently knock down a 3 point shot and play defense. It would really help this team.

If Cam's role were to change to a guy that comes off the bench and gives energy he would be really good at that. Add a shooter at the SF and a role player that just makes long shots along with M'Baye and this would probably be a respectable team.

With all that said, I have to admit the performance against Tech really dampens my excitement about next season.

Denver nailed it.

You have to be kidding. Gillespie is a good coach and Tech will continue to get better. Chaminade is a NAIA school like playing SW Okla State.

They were 0-11 and Chaminade was the 3rd game in 3 days. And that Chaminade team would have beaten Texas Tech last night.

Maybe. Doesn't change my point though. Trying to evaluate the program based on ANY one game is.....well, stupid. Compare the seasons as a whole.....we're still much better this year. And we all know guards win games, and we're lacking. Sure, that isn't an excuse for last night, but I think the guys are frustrating and pressing. It's tough. They want to win, but the talent isn't there right now to beat the top teams in the conference.

Texas Tech is horrible.

OU should be able to bench the starting 5 and still blow out Chaminade.

Thats naive. Only way OU could do that is if they brought in nothing but top 100 players each year and since OU has only brought in 1 in the past 3 years, we can't afford to bench anyone.
