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

Before we start using "depth" as an excuse every time we lose a game, we might want to look around at what other teams have, and or using nightly.

In a lot of cases, our depth isn't much better, if any, than a lot of other conference foes.

Why can't they use depth as an excuse? You used it for a year a couple of seasons back.

Post depth is a reality not an excuse. It's a topic we talked about a lot before talked the season started. The concerns? Would Tyler be able to hold his own in the post? How much help would we get from Bennett? Tyler has more than exceeded my expectations. Bennett has not.

I'd dare say there aren't many teams in the Big 12 with smaller post players and fewer reliable backups than OU. Cam has started at the four the entire season. In other words, we're essentially playing with a 6' 8" center and four guards and wings. That's not a first, so we might be okay if the players coming off of the bench could hold onto or build on a lead. They can't. Thus, post depth is a problem we can't do anything about this season.
