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

Their zone is giving up so many open 3s. I know Buddy is hot right now, but he is also wide open.

 

[JBaker]

Good start!

Baylor only within 7 because Austin is hitting threes.
If our defense is only giving up threes for Austin, we are playing well.

 

[opsooner]

Austin can shoot 3s though - probably where he is best on offense. We have to guard him as best we can.

Buddy trying to top Ejim.

given that he is a 32% 3pt shooter I hope for his sake you're wrong

Yeah, we need to do a little better guarding him, but overall I'm happy.
Let's see if we can keep it up with presumably a few more second team guys in here after the break.

The good news is that Scott Drew is such a great coach, that he lets his 7'1" guy hang around the perimeter all game against a team with nobody taller than 6'8".

He ain't 32% tonight. Typically people can shoot better when they are not being guarded.

 

[JBaker]

We need to stop doubling the post so hard.

 

[JBaker]

Attack Austin and get him another foul.
He is keeping Baylor in it.

 

[BruinSooner]

D is suffering now that Neal is in

 

[opsooner]

They present so many matchup problems for us. Good news is we do the same to them.

 

[MNsooner]

both teams are shooting really well.

 

[JBaker]

Ugh, Bennett needed to get that shot up...

 

[Laxtothemax12]

When will we stop letting them shoot open 3's?

 

[JBaker]

Spangler has had a lot of rebounds going off his hands tonight. Hopefully he can start getting those secured.
Also, let's stop letting them shoot threes almost as well as we are.

 

[stormspencer]

Eventually, we are going to cool off....thus we need to find several guys who want to commit to playing the defense we need to win this game.

That is my worry. They give us a lot of matchup problems. We give them matchup problems but it is in getting the 3.
