Colorado has played good ball so far this year, but right now both teams look really awful.

were has this defense been all year??
we would have been in alot more games this year playing this type of D

has capel brought someone into practice to help out with D??

Aside from the turnovers and some defensive lapses, I like what I'm seeing. Guys are hustling out there.

 

[Max Power]

30 - 24 sooners with 2 min left

 

[skyvue]

They're taking it to us right now on the boards, and sheesh, another turnover.

Bad inbound pass ends up turning the ball over. CU ball.

 

[Max Power]

cade takes a charge on burks

 

[Stikboy]

Has Oklahoma ever heard of the term "box out"?

 

[NickZepp]

Charging foul, Cade Davis takes the Charge

Pledger misses a 3.

Blocking foul called on Cade, but a good foul by Cade he would have had an easy 2. 46 seconds left in the half.

When you see zone defenses they usually give up more offensive rebounds because they have to play in certain positions not where they can block out all the time. Plus teams shoot long 3s in zones which lead to long rebounds which usually favors the offense.

CU travels 28 seconds left.

Cade hits a 2 at the buzzer 32-26 OU at the half!

 

[Max Power]

big play by cade to end the half

 

[pillmanj]

Alot of time left in the game, but if we are somehow to win this game...Who will be the first to piss on Colorado and say they arent any good?? My vote is on ABD to turn on his Buffs.

 

[NickZepp]

Cade had a big time rebound then was able to hit a turn around jumper just as the buzzer. That was incredible on both the rebound and the shot. Especially because momentum was taking Cade away from the basket.

Totally agree. On the whole, that was a solid first half of basketball on both ends of the floor. A reduction in unforced turnovers and OU would be up by 10 or more. Terrific hustle play at the end to give us a 6 point lead, though.

No won't pee on CU, but I will say even if we win we still aren't very good.
