kruger putting jimmy stevens in the game! i love it!

 

[bocabull]

Great move by Kruger playing the walk ons. They work hard and deserve lots of minutes in these games.

I really like this offense so far. Cam Clark is going to fit a lot better with this team than last years team. And he didn't play that bad last year. Little bit sloppier the last 5 minutes or so.

 

[BigTime]

With Carl and Sam we really have solid depth at the PG.

man, puma is a monster

Little Fran just got his first foul

Half OU 48 NSU 22

Carl still good at driving and kicking. He really is a solid offensive halfcourt/transition PG. The key will be has he improved defensively (not sure during this game due to lack of competition) and how is he handling fullcourt pressure (probably getting some extra work on this in practice).

Dumb Fan Request for first 5 minutes of 2nd Half:

1. Grooms
2. Clark
3. Osby
4. Fitz
5. Arent

Just want to see what happens.

I agree. Carl could be frustrating at times last year due to really random mistakes but all in all he does a solid job penetrating and finding the open man. Plus, I was always pretty impressed with his ability to find Clark in transition for oops last year.

I like Grooms speed and confidence in this game but will be looking forward to how he (and Blair for that matter) handle stiffer competition. I like that we have the ability to use them both because they each bring a little something different to the table and that will be a good thing down the line.

I didnt realize OU was in the top 25. They put a little 25 next to OU's name on the tv broadcast, lol.

You saw that too! I thought I was going crazy.

 

[BigTime]

First real poor decision by Grooms. Charged in on a penetration.

 

[BigTime]

Sloppy play by Sooners to start the half. 50-24

 

[lk2183]

Starting to look pretty sloppy. Need to refocus and pick it back up.

 

[Tydude]

Great Ally Hoop

 

[lk2183]

Good to see Blair and Clark connect again! That was what I was talking about earlier!

 

[Soonerman]

Blair to Clark for the transition alley-oop. Just like last year. Love it!!

Osby is 6'5'', and no more. CJ Washington has at least 2 inches on him.

If I had to guess, I would say he is 6'5'' 225 and not 6'8'' 238. No way he weighs 238 pounds.

Not saying he can't be good, just something of note.
