Tyler Neal is having one heck of a game! He has 16 points so far.

SO much hustle for OU. Bench guys like Honore and CJ, you never know which game one might step up and play solid minutes. Neal also playing very well today.

What a difference a year makes. Last year no one from the bench could be counted on to do anything.

I think the men have officially bought into Kruger's coaching. Maybe losing Newell helped that along?

 

[AdaSooner]

OU up 14 at the media timeout. Under 3 minutes until the victory bell tolls.

Who from the bench consistently got minutes? Capel never rotated people.

We've played well all season, for the most part. I think they bought in Day 1.

Very true. Well said.

True. But our bench players didn't get much playing time last year. Kruger has gohe with a 9 to 10 man rotation since the season began, with everyone on the team getting meaningful minutes.

Yep, it's definitely a coaching upgrade.

Pledger keeps playing like this and we are going to be tough to beat.

 

[AdaSooner]

Steven Pledger! My man!!! What a great game. Now with 21 and going to the line to add to his total.

 

[opsooner]

Can't wait to get down to Norman for a few games. Sooner basketball is going to be competitive again. I hope LK likes Norman!
