I wish one of you constant critics would explain to me when you got the idea that this team was so good that any win was a bad win or needed to be picked apart.
You guys never give any consideration to the fact that our team has limitations that can be exploited by the opposing coach. Our opponents often times have good players that are capable of having a good game. Wasn't last night's opponent averaging about 82 points a game and have player averaging 22 points? Both their best player and the team had a little better than average game. Whoop De Do.
Every coin has two sides. You want a better Ken Pom defensive rating. Fine, but, at what cost? Would it be worth it to have a couple of Cam, Buddy, Spangler, or Woodard on the bench fouled out with 5 minutes to go? With Hornbeak out, you can throw Cousins in that group.
OU's defense is out of whack and balance. They are not challenging shots at the rim or getting into their man on the perimeter aggressively enough. With the new rules, a notch up in aggression will increase the fouls. A perfect balance would be if every starter finished the game with exactly four fouls. But, we are not good enough or deep enough to have any of our starters foul out. They were a little too soft and left fouls on the table last night. We don't have any major short coming on defense. It is nothing more than nuance and balance.
