Lattin is fun to watch on the dunks and blocks. He is one heck of an athlete and becoming a very good basketball player.

Along with the nice 3s from James I thought he played well on D and also played with poise on offense.

We can go in for the kill in their first 4-5 minutes or so. Stretch this lead and finish them

HOPEFULLY we have learned our lesson about letting teams back in the game in the 2nd half!!! The guys need to come out smokin!!

Play in segments. Win the first four minutes.

 

[slappy in OP]

So proud of that half. We need to close them out early. They still will have the comeback they had against NIU in their minds. Let's crush that! :OU-logo:

 

[opsooner]

Yep; keep playing like we're down by 5. Hopefully, open looks keep falling. That's really the test of it on offense.

I am mostly interested in D. We have to keep playing good D.

A&M isn't going to come back from 12 down in the last 44 seconds again. I agree the first 5 minutes are important to keeping the momentum.

I just noticed James has 6 rebounds... SIX! Off the bench! I could hug that kid! What a great time to show out!

Win the first segment! Break them!

He skied in the paint for several of those. I had to do double-takes because I kept thinking it must be Cousins at first.

You are right. Stupid comment. Their is another half to play and we better come out ready to play. Things look great but that 19 pt lead with twenty minutes to play is a lifetime in basketball. We're in good shape but we can't let up. They are do to make a run if we relax. Just keep doing what we're doing. Pack the paint and get back out to their shooters.

Biggest thing this Half is take care of the ball. We have less then 7 to this half its ball game! Let's go! Booooomer!

 

[jackson_supersooner]

Gosh dang it...

 

[Laxtothemax12]

And Khadeem Lattin picks up his 3rd 10 seconds in? Or was that Ryan?

 

[opsooner]

There you go. We know what they are going to do now. Gotta keep playing D.

 

[JBaker]

Need to stop letting them do this in the post. Too easy.

 

[JBaker]

Time out!!!

 

[hoopsaustin]

Keep being aggressive. Attack the rim

 

[NickZepp]

Well bad start. 5-0 run for A&M.

 

[Laxtothemax12]

Second game in a row terrible start to 2nd half. Come on

And here we go again
