This just in: Hornbeak can hit a jumpshot. Layups still to be determined.

Seriously? He plays poor defense and he's shooting 25% from the field.

I was dripping with sarcasm.

I assume it was sarcasm?

OU trails 21-20 at the under 4 timeout. M'Baye going to the line.

All of these guys can shoot much better in rhythm when they square up properly. Big difference in watching the last shot he made versus the previous one. Not saying they are shooters but I like the inside-out play they ran.

Silly me. Went right over my head.

 

[NickZepp]

We have left 7 points out there in transition.

 

[NickZepp]

OU up 3!

 

[NickZepp]

Hornbeak leads the way with 7.

 

[NickZepp]

I'm shocked Buddy didn't get a charge there. OU up 5.

 

[NickZepp]

30-26 OU up at the half. Nice shot Cam.

 

[AdaSooner]

Tough break on that possession. OU played pretty good defense for all but the last two seconds.

 

[MNsooner]

Well at least we started and closed the half well. Everything in between was painful, though.

 

[OUHoops]

Hornbeak leads the way with 7.

A good sign. Hopefully he stays consistent and be a threat out there. His defense is great.

 

[AdaSooner]

OU up 30-26 at the half.

 

[One More Rebound]

Ugly basketball, just the way they like to play. We must guard against a second half lapse, as if they get a significant lead, they will take the air out of the basketball...

 

[OUHoops]

OU up 30-26 at the half.

Well they look better than last year so far..imo

 

[AdaSooner]

A stat that tells a sad story on the offensive end: SFA with 10 assists, OU with only 2.

That's a product of too many missed shots, too much one on one basketball, and guards that are not doing a good job in distributing the ball to their teammates. I can't recall a game, EVER, where an OU team ended the half with two measly assists.

 

[NickZepp]

Tie game 2 minutes in.
