Neal is a black hole...

 

[JBaker]

Now Neal has killed us on offense the last two possessions.
Our team refuses to take open shots unless it's a 3 right now.

 

[pnkranger]

Every time we get close we make some idiot mistake and we're 7 down again.

 

[MercedeSooner]

Hornbeak gtfo...

 

[Laxtothemax12]

Have we EVER gotten a TO or steal with the half court trap? Like EVER?

 

[pnkranger]

Buddy just now back in.

 

[CoachTalk]

Bennett is playing alright. Holding firm with spangler getting some breaks

 

[Laxtothemax12]

I just don't get why we trap. Can anyone who attends practice tell me why we love to try and trap and give up wide open layups? I really want to ask the coaches why the insist on giving up free 2 points every time they trap?

Neal is a black hole...

He's gotten good looks. He isn't going to turn down 10-12 footer. Is someone else lighting it up for us?

It amazes me that we keep trying it.
90% of the time the opponent gets an open shot out of it.

Bad D; we had the 2 for 1 (when Bennett was fouled) and still chose to play for the steal (and gave them the layup).

No I'm with you, it was the two times he passed up a wide open 10-12 footer and threw it away

 

[SoonerWarVet]

Brutal turnovers (by both teams). Difficult to watch right now. Just need to play like they normally do and everything will be fine.

Has anyone noticed how timid Bennett is with the ball near the rim?

 

[JBaker]

Why did Neal pass up a wide open 3 and wait until he was covered by a 7-1 guy to shoot it?

 

[opsooner]

30-24 Baylor at half

 

[coolm]

wow. we shot terribly and we're not that far off. I am happy right now.

 

[MercedeSooner]

baylor is such a crap team and we aren't much better right now - we need to get our $hit together after the stinker in Manhattan. Come on team !!

 

[Laxtothemax12]

Because it's :neal :facepalm

he needed a darn challenge!

 

[Laxtothemax12]

Baylor has let us stay in the game. This is where we need to take advantage of it and go on a run.
