LMAO, wow, I thought we were the only ones that disliked thompsons game....look at what baylor fans are saying after the game...

#55 for Oklahoma... Man, I love that guy!

Probably the worse college basketball player I have ever seen in my lifetime. He was beyond pathetic to where I would have quit the team if I had a showing like he did last night. Practically every time he touched the ball he would turn it over by dribbling off his foot or making the worse pass imaginable. But the four airballs were the best part of the night. He was literally afraid to shoot with 10 minutes left in the game (except the one opportunity he had to put it back for 2).

Besides PJIII, he was our best player

Awesome
 
I think what's more depressing about this is that we have become Baylor's basketball *****.
 
I remember when we used to say that kinda stuff about Baylor, A&M, Colorado, and Nebraska players.

Times have changed.
 
Can we bump the preseason Nick Thompson threads which state how valuable he's going to be?
 
Thompson just seems so scared of contact...as in the photo below

Can he not jump higher to attempt to block the shot??

Cade seems to be putting out alot more effort than him here

Nick should change his number from 55 to 24.
 
I've said this before...

I feel bad for Nick...

He is just in over his head, unfortunately he is at the wrong place at the wrong time...

He just isnt talented enough to play for a Major Division 1 school, he has some skills but not to compete at this level...

I hate that he is getting slammed on here by posters but that's what happens when you choose to play for a University like OU and cant produce up to the expectations that are set for you (Capel/Captain)...

I do think he is giving all he is capable of giving for this team and am sure he is a great kid, too bad he has to play for this team at this time...

Who knows, in another situation he might be an asset...he does have some positives, just not enough to be playing significant minutes for this team...

I hope he continues to work on his game and maybe he can help us out in spot situations next season...
 
Thompson has been such a disappointment for me this year, I had really high hopes he would be a big contributor. So disappointing.

I agree. I really feel bad for the kid because I believe that he would like to play better, and he seems to be an alright guy to have on your squad. I just hope that Sooner fans will not attack the guy on a personal level......

Agreed, don't blame him for being in there most of the game last night. Coach put him in AND left him in. Just hope that the light will go on and he will play better in the future. I hope he completes his degree next year and graduates. That in and of itself will be an asset to the team.
 
If I'm a recruit and stumbled across this message board it would occur to me that OU has some really sorry fans who need to get a life.

Every day it's something new to whine and complain about. Today is Nick Thompson day.

Complaining is human nature...the flip side to that everyone on here (you included Boca) is at least passionate enough about OU basketball to be following it, watching it and trying in their own ways to figure out a way to improve it. I don't agree with everything you say obviously but thanks for caring enough to stick with it this season.

Kill him with kindness, I like that approach!!
 
To a certain degree, Capel has to play Nick as he is the only kid over 6'6 on the team. There is always the hope that with encouragement he will play his height. Baylor has unbelievable height and I think Capel just thought Nick would give us some counter to that height.

I agree he had a horrible game. But like the others are saying, I think he is trying and I don't want to bash the kid. I think he is trying and I appreciate that. He does seem to me to be way over his head. I hope I am wrong.

How are any of these comments posters are making about Thompson any different than what you said about Cade Davis?

Pot, meet kettle.

Funny you mentioned that. Last year when everybody was blaming WW for all our problems I brought to light actual statistics showing that WW was the least of our problems and it gets mentioned 24/7 like I'm still beating that dead horse. My few statistical comments about Cade have been referenced hundreds of times.

But while we are at it. Last night Nick Thompson, a 1st year player mind you, shot 3 for 7 (43%), had 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 4 turnovers and 2 steals in a game where OU was more competitive than expected and held their own on the boards until the very end. But he supposedly is the worst player to set foot on the court for OU in forever.

In the previous game Cade Davis, a 4th year senior, shot 3 for 9 (33%), had 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 4 turnovers and 1 steal in a game OU at home where OU was not competitive yet he is the best player on the team according to the brain trusts around here.

All I can do is laugh.

Cade knows how to play defense. It doesnt matter if you score 6 points if the guy you are guarding scores 15
