This is great to have the first game on ESPN. Thanks for the XBOX and ESPN 3... Great game so far. That Polish kid is huge!!

 

[NickZepp]

Good passing by OU on that last possession. Shot just didn't fall.

Needed that one. And compounded it by shatty transition defense.

 

[Tydude]

we need to take the lead at half

 

[BigTime]

Good minutes by Arent. Guy works really hard.

 

[Navy2004]

I think what has been good is OU has responded once they got down. Leadership on the floor looks good. Played better as a team once they got down also....

 

[BigTime]

C'mon Blair. 34-31 Bengals.

Charge taken by Osby! Nice.

 

[NickZepp]

Bad end to the half after getting within 1. Missed the last 7 shots and missed some free throws.

 

[Tydude]

Halftime OU 31 Idaho State 34

 

[BigTime]

Osby, Newell, Arent and Grooms look like the only ones that showed up thus far.

We need Cam Clark to step up in the second half. Fitz looks really slow out there today.

Could be worse.

To make my dogs behave during Sooner watching, I usually will hold a treat up for them to stare at while behaving till we we hit 10, 20, 30, and so on. I felt (and I'm sure the dogs felt) like 30 took an ETERNITY... but for the one, fleeting moment, we reclaimed the lead.

And since two of their players have 3 fouls, we have the advantage going into the half

Some of the turnovers were just dumb, lack of concentration or foolish activity.

They are playing better defense, using their quickness to cover us pretty well. We aren't getting many open shots. We've blown a couple by passing up open shots to take a step closer for a shot that was actually challenged. If we penetrate and kick out, we can break the zone. We can't do it by passing around the perimeter.

Do we miss Pledge??

Do we miss Pledge??

Yes.

Grooms looked good doing that. I think we got plenty of good shots; just need to make them.

I agree with the dumb turnovers. I think the defense looked much better during the second 10 minutes.

Yes.

 

[Tydude]

we need to stop turning over the ball and score we should destroyed this guys

I love how Grooms penetrates.

Thats what she said.
