Looks like a really good showing from the student section.

 

[OUHoops]

OU up 4-0. Great putback by Pledger and driving layup by Grooms.

 

[OUHoops]

OU up 6-0 at the under 16 timeout.

 

[CrimsonandCream14]

Absolutely great defense to start the game!! Making OSU take some very tough shots..

 

[OUHoops]

Recruits are a no-show so far per Sam. Unless they're sitting somewhere other than behind the bench where they normally sit.

 

[Bk2X]

Lot of orange scattered about

 

[OUHoops]

Six early points for Clark. The mini-breakout continues.

Wish I could make it, instead I have to tutor chemistry ugh

 

[WTSooner]

Two layups, and we turn it over twice. Sheesh.

 

[OUHoops]

OU up 12-4 at the under 12 timeout.

And that's with two blown fastbreak buckets in the last two possessions.

OSU is 1 for 10 from the field.

 

[skyvue]

Two layups, and we turn it over twice. Sheesh.

Yeah, we needed those -- painful.

 

[CrimsonandCream14]

Should be 16-4. Gotta finish those easy, wide-open fast break chances.

You could have done it there. Not like there's a whole bunch of noise.

Ugh, blair. I like the way we are playing on the defensive end.

I remember one of the first games (might have been the first) and Grooms took and hit a nice open 3. It looked like a pretty good stroke. Not sure what happened to his confidence along the way. Hope he can work a lot on it in the off-season.

 

[BlackwellSooner]

That last blown layup hurt! Beautiful pass, he just butterfingered it...

 

[opsooner]

Ugh, blair. I like the way we are playing on the defensive end.

Yes, just those little things drive you crazy. We could easily have 3-4 more wins this year if we could execute those.
