**********OU-Baylor Game Thread**********

[pnkranger]

Playing great defense so far. Hope we can keep it up in the second half.

 

[pnkranger]

They punched Hornbeak in the mouth, so we have punched them right back.

 

[opsooner]

Grooms also having another good game.

 

[ousooners1baby]

Ok, do we call Sam Grooms a shooter now! What the heck?

This is the Steven Pledger I thought we'd see more of this season.

I'm glad he's playing at a higher level at the end of the season instead of at the beginning

 

[WTSooner]

This Baylor team is all kinds of out of sorts. Definitely not what we're used to seeing out of them in recent years.

 

[slappy in OP]

Hats off to this group of seniors. Talk about a group of guys that have contributed when needed. I love this team.

 

[opsooner]

This game is Groundhog day. Baylor turns it over and then fouls in frustration on almost every possession.

 

[OUsky]

Great 1st half guys- :clap

 

[opsooner]

Ref finally bails out Baylor. Good D by Grooms there even if he did brush him.

 

[pnkranger]

From a player perspective, these two teams are pretty even. From a coaching perspective, this is a monumental mismatch.

 

[WTSooner]

Have I mentioned lately how glad I am that Lon Kruger is our coach?

 

[garyeb2]

I wonder what it takes to pick up a few votes from the pollsters.

 

[kingssc]

Nothing quite like an 18-1 run to end the half.

 

[JBaker]

I'll take that half.

 

[slappy in OP]

Fantastic at both ends of the court. This is a great way to make a statement about our intent to be in the tourney.

 

[Price is Right]

What a great half of ball!! Watching these last few games makes me wonder just what our ceiling is... We look like a team that could make some noise come dancing time.

No doubt about it. Drew recruits well, but can't coach worth a flip.

 

[WTSooner]

Hard not to feel REALLY good about our chances to make the Tournament at this point. I know we have to keep winning, but we're playing great ball right now. Be nice to play ourselves into a seed that might allow us to win a game or two. How crazy would that be?

Even if you did, it won't hurt to do it again.

This team is so much better now than they were early in the season. The players deserve a lot of credit for that. But so does Lon Kruger.
