Maui Invitational, how do you think OU will do?

[Sam]

The Field.
Oklahoma
Kentucky - elite eight team last year, lost 5 players to the NBA draft but added 5 top 35 national recruits and a top juco big man
Washington - Sweet Sixteen team last year, lost top scorer but return number 2 scorer plusadded a top 50 shooting guard an quality juco big man
Michigan St - final four team last year, Izzo still coaches them (enough said in my opinion).
Virginia - went 15-16 under a first year head coach, added rivals' top 20 recruiting class featured by top 30 recruit K.T. Harrel
Connecticut - Nit team, under investigation for 8 major violations
Wichita St - 25-10 and NIT Bid, returns bulk of roster from that team
Chaminade - host team, Division 2.

OU is guaranteed to play 3 games in the field. The brackets have not been released yet.

How do you think the Sooners will do based on the quality of the teams in the field?

I cant vote until I see the Bracket. I think we will be able to play with and possibly beat 4 or 5 of the teams, but if we play Kentucky or MSU off the bat then the bast we can hope for is 5th, if we avoid them and get UCONN, Virginia, Chaminade or Washington first I think we have a good chance of winning that game and finishing 3rd or 4th

7th, right in front of Chaminade.

Man have some faith

7th, right in front of Chaminade.

Yeah, I voted 7th as well. Hard to say without seeing a bracket. I could see 6th ahead of Virginia. I don't see much better than that since it's so early in the season.

 

[FaithfulSooner]

Gotta love the bigabd's pick. Care to wager bigabd? BOOMER SOONER BABY!!!

 

[coacht]

It is tough to pick without the brackets, but I think the most likely scenarios are 5th, 6th or 7th. Losing the first game, and going 2-0 or 1-1 after that.

I picked up with the majority, so far.

Yea, Virginia shouldnt be any good. They could finish 7th.

 

[TINY]

5th, right behind UK, Uconn, MSU, and Washington.

Could be anywhere from 4-7 in my opinion, just depends on the bracket.

You have to have at least 25 posts to be credible...

 

[SoonerBounce13]

wow

 

[Hollisp]

Hopefully we start with Chaminade,VA, or the Shockers. If my memory serves me though I think Chaminade tries to get the best team first.

Occasionally a new poster comes along who manages an inverse relationship between post count and credibility because each time they post, they say something even more idiotic than before. Not that I can think of anyone, off-hand, who exhibits that characteristic. :facepalm

I do hope that everyone understands i was being sarcastic...

shoulda used an emoticon...maybe the rolls eyes? where is that dang smiley with the sarcasm sign when you need it...

 

[scrybe]

Come on, guys; lighten up a bit. Dem Coltz was obviously joking about some of the stuff that was posted in an earlier thread. And it WAS funny. I actually spewed a mouthful of coffee onto my keyboard.

Edit: And by the way, I voted 1st place, based on my "sunny" mentality.

Wait for it...

 

[Dem Coltz]

And I'm there! Woot! Ok now everything I've said so far on this board was just stamped as credible. What a relief. If it's not too much trouble could one of the mods shoot me a pm explaining what sarcasm is and how to pick up on it? Didn't realize I was signing up for a board of Oscar Wilde and Marx brothers disciples, I think I left my keen wit and sense of humor in another life. haha

Btw thanks for the support from my new best friends Scrybe and Ed Sooner, it's tough to be an iconoclast good to know my attempt at humor wasn't totally misunderstood. And for the rest of you guys, oh well, I'm sure you'll pick it up soon enough, when in Rome you know?
