*******OU-North Texas Pregame Notes/Game Thread*******

[skyvue]

Officials are incredibly erratic.

So is our defense (and that's being kind). Lots of work still to do there.

Overall, I like what I'm seeing. I would like to clean up the defense. It sure seems like we're getting called for some touch fouls and not getting those calls on our end.

 

[WTSooner]

Booker and Hield both look good shooting the ball.

I'm glad that we are better than they are. The officials aren't doing us any favors. Missed some calls.

I like this team. Fun group to watch. They should be pretty tough by the end of the year.

Is there a 1,000 people at the game? Crowd looks worse than awful.

Yep.
It seems like our strategy early in the season is going to be to try and run less talented teams out of the gym, and slow it down and play a little more under control against better talent. So I think we're gonna get beat back on defense a bit against the lesser teams. Just hope we don't go cold for a game or half and have the loose d bite us.

Buddy has been really impressive to start the season.

Damn, Woodard just drove right into the North Texas big under the goal and converted the bucket. Kid has a real knack for scoring at the rim.

 

[OUHoops]

OU up 59-49 at the under 16 timeout.

 

[OUHoops]

Booker looking good. Has nine so far.

Very nice play by the freshman. He has the shot people were talking about.

 

[JBaker]

Stop the ball...

Who's that new guy wearing #15?

 

[skyvue]

As well as we're playing offensively, I'm having trouble enjoying the offensive success because of our shaky defense.

 

[Laxtothemax12]

we're giving this game away

 

[slappy in OP]

Defense definitely needs to improve.

 

[cfin5256]

Big shot by Jelon.

 

[OUHoops]

OU up 69-62 at the under 12 timeout.

Shaky is a very kind way to put it.

Damn Buddy's got game. Love that guy.
