***********OU-Kansas State Game Thread**********

[Sooner79]

Our backcourt is 6-17 from the field and Clark is 2-2. We've got to be better than that.

A solid half by OU. I like our intensity on defense. Looks more like the D we played before our three game losing streak.

Blair did just fine in a starting role. Very proud of Cam, though. He came off the bench with a determined look and made a positive contribution.

 

[AdaSooner]

Scoring at the half: Fitz with 10, Osby 7, Pledger 6, Clark 6, Neal with 4.

Osby also has 7 rebounds, Grooms wity 3, four other players with 2 each.

Blair has played really well, and Clark seems to have responded as well.

To play this well against this team is a good sign but we need to get this win.

We sure missed out on Jeremy Jones...did he sign with KSU before Kruger was hired? Seems like he decided on KSU while Capel was still here but I may be wrong. He has a very good offensive game.

I'm just about to start referring to Fitz as "old reliable". He seems to bring it offensively most every game. :clap

I had the same question about the JUCO pg that went to Baylor. Did LK recruit him? Either of those guys would have been nice.

Still hoping we go JUCO to replace Newell this year.

Nice to see the intensity to start the second half!

 

[WTSooner]

Nice post moves by Fitz and Osby. I sure wish those two would spend more time inside. I know they aren't Nick Collison in there, but they have some solid moves.

 

[WTSooner]

Everytime we do something good, we turn around and give it back to them.

Get a steal and a layup, we give them a wide open layup.
Nearly get a steal and a breakout, we then give them an open 3.

We are terrible about closing out on shooters. We let them catch and shoot anytime they want to. You have to close out quicker, and closer.

OU game not on in Tulsa?

OU game not on in Tulsa?

Game notes say "KTUL Ch. 8" in Tulsa.

 

[WTSooner]

Another O rebound given up by Arent. Grrr.....

 

[skyvue]

Sorry, but that was a damn charge.

 

[OUHoops]

Osby just picked up his third foul (which wasn't a foul on him IMO).

 

[OUHoops]

OU is 15 for 17 from the free throw line.

 

[skyvue]

They're killing us on the boards. And they've stolen any number of rebounds that should have been ours, that we had in our hands.

 

[Sooner79]

We're getting absolutely murdered on the boards.

 

[Dcox]

Score?

 

[OUHoops]

54-47 OU with 11:39 to go.
