Yes, he is the only one.

Bieniemy didn't miss a shot of any kind. Didn't make a turnover. Freshmen are supposed to make mistakes.

The no missed shots part is cool, but I dig the no to's part. We were able to force quite a few with reyrey and JB and odomes on the floor.

good mental toughness. hopefully we build on this.

what?

 

[MsProudSooner]

I beg Kruger to move the starting line-up back

JB needs the minutes but have him and Odomes come in off the bench

Why?

Great win. It would have been easy to quit after that red hot start from OSU and say "it's just not our night." Got back into it with great defense, didn't try to get the whole thing back in 5 minutes, and grinded away a nice victory.

We've also got a lot to be excited about moving forward. A starting lineup of Bienemy, Harmon, Reaves, Manek and Doo is a lot to like.

I felt like we were tightening up but thankfully not everyone was. And nice for that guy to be a freshman PG. Also hats off to the D adjustments. Really took them away from what they wanted in the fourth quarter.

Biggest road comeback!

Great win. Down 19 and come back to win. Impressive. Glad they didn’t quit and kept fighting for the win.

I hear you, tycat. But to me, those doofus fans up at GIA are what REALLY make a loss to the aggies unbearable.

Worse than texas? I wouldn't go that far, but it's pretty darn close.

To the everlasting credit of O-State, the Aggies do NOT have a McConaughey nor a Minister of Culture. Texas is far worse.

I just don’t think OUr team is responding well to adversity in conference games, especially on the road. Much like last season to me, so far. Last year and this year we played strong on the road during non-conference and collapsed during the conference season. I’m just not sure this team will win a conference road game the rest of the year. I don’t think it’s because we’re not capable but don’t seem be mentally or emotionally able to handle adversity. I hope they prove me wrong!

...

Well, at least tonight, your hope was realized.

Beat Vandy!

Must be nice to be able to hit shots. Wonder what that feels like? Getting outplayed for sure right now. Hopefully, we treat the OSU start as just that. Play like a veteran team and come back slowly but surely.

Just like a Prophet!

 

[oudna]

Why?

I thought we had started in a hole 2 straight games but I saw Texas actually didn’t build their lead until later in the half. We just couldn’t make a shot early

 

[SoonerTraveler]

Bieniemy is talented but I like his mentality. He's as cool as they come as a freshman.

On the radio post-game recap, Toby Roland said Jamal Bieniemy has had ZERO turnovers in his last 85 minutes. Amazing for a freshman ball-handler. That is cool, indeed.

:dance005:

The start was like so many others the past few years. A freshman was unfazed!

NO!!!!!! JB should be on the floor 40 minutes

Congrats on the win. Here's our postgame coverage...

- 60 photos from the game

Postgame report from OU writer Eric Bailey...

On Wednesday night, Jamal Bieniemy wasn’t swayed by the rowdiness directed at the Sooners. The freshman — in just his second start — stayed calm and composed in a must-win situation for his team.

...

“He has been fantastic. Two consecutive games he has run the show,” OU coach Lon Kruger said. “Making big shots at critical times and contested layups at critical times. He made that big three to make it to five (66-61). Been great. Really good instincts defensively, too. Couldn’t be happier for him.

“We needed it from him, too. He stepped up and delivered.”

Postgame report from OSU writer Mark Cooper...

Lindy Waters, the Norman native, couldn’t miss in the game’s opening nine minutes. Encouraged by coach Mike Boynton to be more aggressive, he knocked down multiple difficult shots. He led the Cowboys with a career-high 20 points.

Nine minutes into the half, Waters brought the crowd to a fever pitch. He sized up OU guard Jamal Bieniemy at the top of the key, faking the start of his drive a couple times. He went to his right, crossed back over to his left and sank a 3-pointer — his fifth consecutive made shot to start the game — to push the lead to 28-9.

“We were very aggressive for the first 10-12 minutes,” Waters said.

That was the high point.
