Better D in 2nd half and we win this game. We must win this game!!!

Is Pledger ill/hurt? On the bench most of the last ten minutes.

Neal gave some quality minutes off the bench in the first.

I think they were trying to make sure he didn't pick up his 3rd foul. Neal's defense was horrid imo.

 

[BigTime]

Osby could have taken it to the rack there!!!!!

REALLY wanted him to dunk that. That ball hit the rim three times before bounding out.

Ah, didn't realize he picked up his second. Duh.

And to be fair, the entire defense was horrid. I'll take 5 boards in 7 minutes though.

Touche.

Neal just doesn't have the foot speed to defend guys that can stretch you like that. He was working hard on that last one but the guy just was too quick for him.

I think we're going to have to take our chances with the help D on the inside and not bite so hard on the dribble penetration. Stay in position to challenge the 3s and trail the guy when he does penetrate. It doesn't look like a lot of their guards really want to take it to the rim when they penetrate.

Didn't realize the former Poke coach Leonard Hamilton was coaching FSU.

 

[BruinSooner]

that was BS foul on Osby

 

[BigTime]

Poor call there. We came out kind of flat. Hope we get some energy going.

 

[opsooner]

Wow. What a bailout that was. Is that same ref who made the call at the end of the first half in Lawrence?

 

[BigTime]

Kid just lost a blue slush on the court.

 

[OUHoops]

Snow cone on the court. Maybe that will cool off Iowa State.

 

[BigTime]

Ref trying to console the upset boy.

Ref trying to console the upset boy.

As the ESPN camerman zooms on him on crying his eyes out. Smooth work, guy.

 

[BruinSooner]

That kid is crying about the Sooners' lack of defensive rotation...NOT the sno-cone. I'm with you, young man.

 

[opsooner]

Ref trying to console the upset boy.

Dad says, "Son, please don't throw your snow cone on the court no matter how bad the officiating is"

 

[ouboomer]

another making of a horrible shooting half for OU....

 

[BigTime]

C'mon defense....

 

[OUHoops]

ISu up 45-40 at the under 16 timeout. Sigh.

 

[BigTime]

Nice win by SLU over Dayton in the A10
