That's 2 bank-3s by that guy.

I know this sounds funny but it annoys me that we dont foul more. to ME it's indicative of not playing intense and tight enough on defense. of course our D has been really good without that many fouls so I am probably just a nut.

There are actually studies that show that foul rate is positively correlated with defense.

I'm thrilled to see Jordan hit some shots. He's struggled this year.

My goodness. I sincerely hope this proves to be the worst game of Booker's OU career.

Coach put glue on his seat (Little Rascal trick).

I wouldnt doubt that. It makes sense. You hafta push the envelope and ride the edge of being as tight and physical as you can be every game. You should be hitting that 5th foul just as the clock hits zero in the second half.

That was what we always said when I was in high school. I usually managed to foul out before that

I think there are a lot of things in sports which are counter intuitive and go against "common sense" which are probably the correct strategy.

Tonight, yes.

I used to think we were the worst last shot of half team but no longer. We might not be the worst lob team next week!

I know it doesn't matter and we're going to win by plenty, but man, it's tough to watch a team lose its edge after building a big lead -- in any sport.

And the family which passes together scores together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mizzou not a good team. 4 wins over nobody. Lost to Arizona by 19.

But

We played by far the best game of the season. Getting inside guys more involved. Sensational defense.

Pretty sloppy from the time the reserves went in in the second half. Starters came in and extended the lead before backing off some.

Terrible game by Booker. Trying too hard. Has to let the game come to him. We need him so let's hope we can get him going.

Best game of the year for Lattin. Glad to see him get that many minutes. Win clinched the Challenge for the Big 12.
