It seems like OU is unbeatable when he has a good game and very average when he does not have a good game.
 
He missed several wide open shots today. If he hits those, I think OU would have won the game. I am not blaming him for the loss. If I were to blame any one player or thing, I would blame OU's defense. Way too many wide open shots, especially 3 point shots.

If OU wants to have a run in the tournament, they have to play better defense.

PS - I hope OSU wins.

I’d love to see his home/road splits
 
OU seem to play on defense with their hands down. You cant win with that kind of defense. Today they were a step slower in the first half and Manek missed shots hurt OU the most . Tighten up the D, Manek shoot more consistent, and James, and Mcgusty stay aggressive. They have too if OU is going to prevail in the tourney.

True, true.
 
Both freshman don’t play as well on the road .Problem is our teams goes as our freshman play .
 
Just found out from a family friend that Brady played with a heavy heart today after the passing of his grandmother this morning. My condolences and prayers to him and his family during this time.

I'm sorry to hear that. Best wishes to his family.

One of the most frustrating things about Doolittle's incredibly disappointing sophomore season is that the 4 position essentially becomes a black hole when Manek isn't playing well. We should expect freshmen like Manek to be inconsistent but I though the team's depth would allow it to deal with his (and others') inconsistency but the poor years from Freeman, Shepherd, McGusty, and Doolittle are leaving the team short-handed when it should have had plenty of depth.
 
I was gone all weekend and just got a chance to watch the game. Sure Manek missed a few, but it was TY's missed shots that were more of the problem. He missed a ton, and some of them were with the lead and were so bad they were like turnovers. It looked more like the OSU game. Trae is amazing and when they fall everyone slobbers in amazement. But man some of those shots were absolutely terrible and ill advised. The thing is he didn't ever need to start the hero stuff. Other guys were scoring and making contributions. His passing game was working. The turnover with around a minute to go was a killer too. But 2-14 from 3 is hard to overcome. Hope he turns that stat around against them at home. That was terrible.

Please please please ESPN keep Jay Bilass away from OU games in the future, please. I am begging.

Yep....I can count at least 3 of Trae's long misses that led directly to long rebounds and transition buckets on the other end in the 2nd half. We weren't even desperate at the time....they were just foolish choices. I've been pretty vocal that I flat out do not like the 25-28 foot 3 pointers. Sure he makes a few, but the risks far outweighs the rewards. And in the case of last night, it shifted momentum when we were controlling the game.

yup...it's all about timing and the situation. I thought he was going to be a "new man" after the osu game...

Young doesn't "make a few" long 3 pointers. He is shooting 39.3% from 3 point range even after that stink bomb Saturday and I would guess 80% of his attempts have gone from 25+ feet.
