Re: >>>>>>OU-Memphis Gameday Thread<<<<<<
My 1st half synopsis:
-Buddy is good. Buddy is really really good. When he makes a shot, the net doesn't move.
-Everyone's been saying it, but we are so much deeper. I think we played 10 guys that half.
-We gave up entirely too many offensive rebounds. That's the most infuriating thing to me. I know that Memphis was outrebounded by Southern Miss or whoever they played in their first game, so I'm sure it's a heavy emphasis for them. They are crashing the offensive glass SO hard, and we are not prepared. I don't know if it's because we really miss Thomas and/or need Manyang. We have a lot of big bodies as it is. Put your body on someone and go grab a board. Spangler is tentative.
-We DO miss Thomas offensively. I really like McNease and how active he is, but he doesn't really have a back-to-the-basket game yet.
-James looks great! Kinda reminds me of freshman year Buddy.
-The officiating was pretty terrible. Memphis was playing an extremely physical game, and at one point we had out-fouled them 8-3. Buddy's arm didn't just start bleeding by itself.
-The point guard change. I don't know what to think. There were 2 different possessions where Isaiah brought the ball down, saw his shot, took it, and drained it. I can see the potential. But other than that, it's hard for me to understand it right now. I love Isaiah and think he's one of the best pure shooters and on-ball defenders in the league. But he is pretty atrocious at shooting FTs and isn't always under control.
2nd half starting now.
