So Booker passes up the wide open 3, but keeps it on a 3 V 1 fast break? Come on man that's a freshman play

That was 2 lost possessions.

Pretty darn good half of basketball for OU right there. Some of the best D I've seen in A LOT of years. Good pressure. Good rotations.

Definitely excited about this team's potential.

Spot on, WT! Except for a couple of breakdowns on defense (Walker giving up a layup comes immediately to mind), Creighton struggled to find an open shot everywhere on the floor. I agree 100%, this was the best defense I have seen in years. For the record, the Jays shot 24% (14% from three) in that half. Even more impressive, LK substituted liberally, with nine players seeing action in the first 20 minutes.

I'll add one thing, Thomas looked so much better than he did in the first game. You can just tell that he is going to be a matchup nightmare for some teams.

Love this 2nd half start!

I think I'm going to fall in love with Tay like I did with Osby

42-24 OU. Spangler has made 3 Three Pointers. He hit 3 all of last year.

Love it! Pedal to the metal, fellas!

Spangler has definitely raised his outside game a couple of notches.

 

[AdaSooner]

Well, we all wanted to expand his range. Who said he couldn't shoot the three? :woot

Love this 2nd half start!

They look more relaxed. Hope they keep it up.

Spangler has definitely raised his outside game a couple of notches.

I don't expect him to hit 3/3 every game, but imagine if he could be like 1/3 or so every night? Just added deep range

12 assists on 16 made baskets. If we remember this and keep the one on one stuff to a minimum, we'll be tough to beat for anybody.

 

[NickZepp]

Thomas is in beast mode.

 

[pnkranger]

Buddy showing a complete game.

 

[Laxtothemax12]

That loose ball brings them to life.

 

[Laxtothemax12]

come on Spangler, that's a layup. We lost all the momentum

 

[OUAllDay28]

You gotta finish that...

 

[NickZepp]

Spangler needed to make that easy transition basket. Just sloppy play the last couple minutes.

 

[BigTime]

Spangler needs to dunk that....great feed by Buddy

 

[Guitardeth]

Crowd getting them back in it.
