wow....Grooms. What a game

 

[Soonerspiff]

I'm in awe at how well this team is coached. Very smart basketball.

I've been thinking the same thing. These past few games have been a joy to watch. We're not beating ourselves and playing within ourselves. Lon has really done an incredible job this year.

Our posts have combined for 12 points...insane. I really wish they would step up and help us get a W today. Their games are bipolar you just never know what to expect from them.

Damn, thought Grooms got ball there.

Win or lose, this is the most proud I have been of OU hoops since the Elite 8 year

Funny if you go back before his hire and you heard people clamoring for Fran and others and then didn't like this hire. I knew him from his time in Vegas and he can coach his ass off. Give him a few more ponies and watch out.

Grooms is showing exactly why you shouldn't give up on a guy, who works hard and hangs in through the tough times. I'm so glad to see him having his "moment" in stoolwater. Hope we pull this one out!!!!!!

I'll be honest, I was underwhelmed when they hired him. Sometimes it's nice to be wrong.

I want to hear more about Marcus Smart.

Very happy for Sam.

Look, I think Marcus Smart is a good player too; but enough already.

I think it helps to have an old PG as coach who knows how important a good ball handler is in certain situations.

Not to take away from Smart because he's a good player, but I'm having a hard time understanding Dave Armstrong with smart's junk in his mouth

Too much dribbling and passing around the arc. We need to keep attacking.
