This team needs a good toliet flush. I'm hoping we have some extra ships next year If you know what I mean.We need some juco talent ASAP.
This could be one of the worst efforts I've ever seen by an OU team, against basically a glorified high school team.

We had the 3 best players on the court tonight. You want to replace them with jucos?

Maybe in talent they were the 3 best, but that Willis kid was a star. He would be the best all-around guard on OU. At least he looked that good tonight.

So much for improvement over the course of a season. After this effort we shouldn't win another game the rest of the year. We're finding ways to lose games rather than finding ways to win. It's almost as if this was a let down game after a big win, but the only problem is WE DIDN'T WIN THAT GAME!
What's so frustating to me is this. Last year, we lost a lot, but I felt like the team always gave top effort, they just didn't have the horses. This year, we have the players, but we keep finding new and interesting ways to lose. Against aTm, we don't block out on free throws and lose. Against, Iowa St. we decide not guard the 3 point line. Against Mizzou, we forget how to make free throws. Against T Tech, we just don't even bother to show up.

OU didn't always put forth top effort last year, OU lost last year by 26 at Tech.
I wouldn't replace them with jucos but I sure would replace anybody else on the roster. I think it is very possible for many of these guys to transfer to smaller schools to free up scholarships.

Exactly. Some people are incapable of remembering anything past the last game, it seems.
Last year's Tech team was significantly better than this year's IMO

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.

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.
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.
There were times last year we had one guy giving effort, Cade Davis. This team is better than last year and the coaching is 3 steps ahead.
