Osby had three different guards on that possession. nice job.

C'mon Cam...

Grooms is struggling.

 

[OklahomaLibertarian]

I'm seeing Cinci foul a lot, and yet we can't foul...

 

[MercedeSooner]

Cam get your $HIT together man. We'd have a double digit lead if you played strong. They're pushing you around and making you look soft damnit.

 

[OUHoops]

Nice strong move by Osby.

Glad we have this game. Need a lot of work in the half court O before conf starts.

Need to keep the O going through the post.

Need a stop here 24-19 Sooners with 45 seconds left.

What the heck isGrooms doing on offense?

 

[NickZepp]

The offense played much better in the last 10 minutes. Defense has done a great job for the most part.

Grooms drives and shots aren't doing us any good. He can't do it alone.

 

[Shooterms]

These guys cannot stop Ro.

 

[BigTime]

Great halfcourt defense by Sooners. Some of the best I've seen since Kelvin ball. Just need to make a few adjustments on the other end.

Hard to be unhappy with a five-point lead at the half, but boy, was that sloppy and rag-tag. We could have been up by fifteen with crisp play on the offensive end.

And I can't say I admire the officiating so far.

Pretty poor on both ends.

Seems like thry're letting Cincy get awfully tough on the perimeter. Of course we're getting ourselves into some tight spots too.

They are forcing him to shoot the ball. Not something he excels at. That is exactly how you should defend him. Tons of ball pressure, make HIM drive and make HIM shoot it.

 

[Crocker's Long Sleeves]

Have to keep plugging it in down low to Osby and Fitz. As long as Cinci's prayer 3s dont start falling we are in good shape. Our perimeter D needs to stay strong since that is pretty much all they have. What the heck was Grooms doing that half? He was struggling against that pressure.
