******OKLAHOMA vs. UTEP GAME THREAD*****

[sooners78]

how can a race car driver be named athelete of the year?

 

[annapolissooner]

Although if we had him....it would certainly improve our post depth.

Man I would take that guy in a second....Morality is overrated :ez-laugh:

3 Pointers: UTEP 10-15 (66.7%)

OU 7-22 (31.8%)

Half of our FG attempts have been 3's. This team does not know how to run a half court offense... Live by the 3 die by the 3... Makes me sick

 

[OUHoops]

Still 62-51 now at the under 12 timeout.

Feel like we'll have our backs broken here.

It seems in games like this, every time it looks like we're going to make a run, the other team answers and puts us back away.

 

[SoonerfanTU]

So basically he needs to recruit basketball players like Kelvin instead of athletes.

A mix of them. I'm not saying don't recruit the Blake's and Tiny's.

 

[SoonerNima]

biggest cheater in basketball?

calliperi or sutton?

 

[seniorsooner]

Tiny just has no clue of how to play with his back to the basket.

 

[NashSooner57]

Tiny has a lot to learn !

 

[MercedeSooner]

Totally agree. I think his defense may have more to do with his minutes than his shooting slump. In all honesty, though, he's not the only one who seems to have no clue about rotating to the obvious wide open shot or stepping in to take a charge when a teammate gets beat.

Ada like you described our team just really, really doesnt understand the concept on how to play team defense. Granted we have a lot of young players but it really isnt an excuse. You almost get the impression that the inmates are running the asylum when you continue to see all the AAU passes etc.

Its sad but its almost as if we come out with a swagger thinking we re a top of 5 team for no apparent reason. We get hit in the mouth and it doesnt register what kind of ball we have to play to win games until we re down by 15+.

 

[annapolissooner]

If TC can hit these two free throws it's back to single digits...baby steps...

 

[OUHoops]

62-52 UTEP with just under 11 to go.

 

[JBaker]

Why is Tony Crocker so god awful at shooting FTs?

 

[NickZepp]

Tiny looks like Blake did his first year except nowhere near the athlete. And he can shoot the ball from outside of 3 feet.

 

[seniorsooner]

Jesus GET A REBOUND

 

[Guitardeth]

Boy utep does a lot of pushing off on our players.

 

[OU918]

Tiny fails at dribbling

 

[coolm]

well you can't just get enamored with athletes unless you're running a system like 40 minutes of hell where you can plug in 12 of them and you get them to put out 110%.

 

[OUHoops]

65-52 9:44 to go.

 

[coolm]

I like this UTEP team btw.
