**********OU-Gonzaga Pregame Notes/Game Thread**********

[sheepdog]

Someone needs to remind the team that an offensive rebound is actually a good thing. And outside of Osby, there is no inside game to speak of.

I'm surprised the rim has any paint left on it after that hideous first half. We need to get the ball inside and get out on the break. Also need to punish them for pressing us.

I can't wait until everyone's preseasons best player, M'Baye, actually does something.

 

[Dcox]

I hope we got that out of our system because look like a sampson half. M'baye needs to stay out of foul trouble and Ro needs the ball more! And maybe we can get 5 guys on the floor to play longer than 3 minutes together before a substitute.

Mostly 1 on 1 ball on offense... Ball movement non existent for the most part and other times when guys have tried to be unselfish it's resulted in a turnover.

Really need to clean this up...

This. Whatever "scout" said he's one-and-done is either blind or filing for unemployment right now.

I know Gonzaga is a quality opponent, but with the way this team plays offense, I feel like an NIT bid is this team's absolute ceiling.

 

[OUHoops]

Second half starting now.

 

[MercedeSooner]

Need a fast start otherwise I think the game will get away from us.

 

[BigTime]

Strong finish by Amath. AND 1.

...and on cue, M'baye with a nice play!

 

[usedtobe1]

Wow! Halftime stats show Sooners shooting 26%, getting killed on the boards, and outscored 16-4 off the bench. Not much to cheer about except hustle on defense.

 

[MercedeSooner]

Sigh. 43-25

 

[BigTime]

Yeesh. Not good. Sooners down 18.

 

[Hollisp]

Yikes

 

[steverocks35]

They hit shots, we clang shots off the rim, end of story.

 

[OUHoops]

Gonzaga up 43-25 with 17 mins left. F.

 

[stormspencer]

why don't we take a few more jump shots?....that seems to be working out really well for us....since we are crashing the glass so well too.:facepalm

 

[cfin5256]

Law of averages says no way can we shoot as bad this half. WE'RE BREAKING THE LAW!

 

[usedtobe1]

No offensive rhythm. Don't need M'Baye and Osby taking back to back 3's. The blowout is a real possibility.

 

[Dcox]

Well let's see how big your valentine is because this is getting out of hand
