**Official OU vs Cincinnati game thread**

Why do I watch? Where is Faithful to make me feel better?

 

[NickZepp]

I'm close to turning this one off. Cincy is horrific. They will have a tough time doing much of anything in the Big East.

Just shows how bad we are. 57-45

Cade has made 7 out of a possible 29 points to this point.

I think Blair has given Cincy almost 20 points off his turnovers.

At this point I believe I should've stayed home and watched Blake. Can't believe I paid money to watch this

 

[One More Rebound]

I think Hubert Davis wants Yancy Gates wrapped under his Christmas tree... :facepalm

I personally have been watching Sooner hoops since the late 70's. I just can't remember many teams under any of the past coaches that had this little amount of talent. I don't care what ratings say, coach against coach argument threads, etc, this team has very little true talent. Some of these guys may develop into better players eventually, but right now we are bad....

We have pg's who can't handle simple soft pressure, no presence to think of defensively in the paint, and no one who can truly create offense for himself or others. I don't care who coaches this group, they just aren't that good, IMO.

blair with a flop to make up for an ealier one called against us

 

[skyvue]

He may have flopped a little, but it was a legit foul call. The guy had his arm out.

Pledger is the worst shooter, for someone who's supposed to be a "shooter"...

True, he has done nothing at OU to earn the nickname "Bird"

 

[sheepdogs]

Fitzgerald plays another game where he has yet to grasp that being in foul trouble and watching the game from the bench makes it hard to contribute.

 

[jmizzy4ou]

Oh well, at least the guys are still trying.... Going to be tough, but I'm still with em all of the way. BOOMER!!!!!

 

[OkieTC]

Can not understand Capel's substitution pattern. I would fire him tonight if it was my choice.

 

[NickZepp]

I don't understand anything Capel has done this year.

 

[Max Power]

I don't understand anything Capel has done the past 2 years.

fify

 

[OkieTC]

We suck. I know this. I expect this. But lets rotate some players. Stay fresher. Develop more players for next year?

 

[Max Power]

i dont recall newell or neal playing today, did they?

 

[NickZepp]

i dont recall newell playing today, did he?

He played early, turned it over once then was put on the bench. Blair came back in and preceded to turn it over about 5 or 6 more times and kept playing. Blair makes some good plays on offense at times in the half court. But he looks horrible if anyone puts pressure on him all the time. I would like to see Newell start from now on and play more.

 

[OkieTC]

Newell a little.
