*****OU-OSU Pregame Notes/Game Thread/Predictions*****

[Vinny78]

What part of "don't leave Forte EVER" don't our guys get?

 

[Laxtothemax12]

we are the worst at under 15 second plays

 

[NickZepp]

Well we lead.

Sent from my galaxy s2

 

[opsooner]

Neal's eyesight must be hampered now.

 

[MercedeSooner]

On the bright side only 4 turnovers with 2 of em coming in the first minute of the game.

Should be up double digits though need to play cleaner.

 

[BigTime]

Good to see Spangs playing well

 

[JBaker]

Good first half.
Could have been better, but we are clearly the better team. OSU can't run with us all game.

 

[opsooner]

That play would have been fine - just made a mental error.

 

[MercedeSooner]

Good first half.

Their big boys aren't in foul trouble.

Cousins and Woodard 1-10. If Woodard isn't being effective offensively he shouldn't be on the floor because he is by far and away our worst defender.

We need to force the issue and attack the rim, OSU will be less likely to challenge shots due to a short bench.

I agree, want to see more minutes from Hornbeak.

 

[AdaSooner]

Cardinal sin of sagging off of Forte

Yep. Buddy's decision-making on defense leaves a lot to be desired sometimes. He moved out to cover the corner and left Forte wide open for a three. That's the one player on OSU's team you can't leave open from anywhere.

 

[Laxtothemax12]

are we really going to shoot 34 3's? on pace for it...

 

[snydrosooner]

I am surprised osu has not been called for the moving screen at least 5 times. The screener is stepping back like he is going to roll and then screens again with never fully disengaging on the first screen. That is a moving screen.

 

[opsooner]

Spangler with 10 RBs at half. Need him to get 20 today.

 

[JBaker]

Cousins and Woodard 1-10. If Woodard isn't being effective offensively he shouldn't be on the floor because he is by far and away our worst defender.

There is a lot more to Woodard being effective offensively than shooting percentage.

 

[JBaker]

Their big boys aren't in foul trouble.

Murphy has 2.
He's not a particularly good player, but there's still a pretty significant dropoff behind him.

 

[snydrosooner]

why has Woodard stopped getting calls when driving to the basket? Early in the season he was getting the calls 50% of the time. Now he gets underneath and gets bumped and no call. Is it just conference or since the refs know that he is trying to draw the foul that they stopped calling it?

There is a lot more to Woodard being effective offensively than shooting percentage.

2 points 1 assist and 1 turnover the first half and gave up at least 8 to Forte. You do the math. Love the kid but he hasn't played well in a while.
