**********OU-TCU Game Thread**********

I expected OU to be a tad flat, it happens with young teams playing a team that is struggling.

The key is to win the game.

Survive, advance, and learn something from it.

Well, we got out answer. OU is still playing to the level of their competition.

Young teams often play down to the competition. As long as we get the W, I guess. It sure doesn't make us fun to watch though. I'm really hoping we take control here.

According to the call in the K-State game, that was a 10-second violation by TCU.

That's the thing. If we end up with the win, I'm fine. Whatever.
But we wonder how to get more fans to the games, and the answer is the exact opposite of this.
Nobody wants to come out and watch us play like garbage against TCU.

Just sloppy on offense so far this half. Not much else to say

I'm more worried about the fact that we lose games like this sometimes. See: La Tech. We've really got to take care of business in games like this because we can't give away home games against TCU in conference play.

Another sloppy turnover....ugh. We are flat and have little fire tonight. I just hope we can hang on. Everything is bad tonight. 3 straight turnovers...we can't even catch the ball.

 

[opsooner]

It is clear enough to me that we are, again, taking them lightly and not playing good basketball. Way too much one-on-one basketball and sloppy passes.

 

[Laxtothemax12]

We don't look like a top 25 team right now. Gotta stop playing down to competition.

 

[soonerhoops2012]

Terrible.....

At least we learned from last time we played them.
Just embarrassing.

 

[soonerhoops2012]

Our crowd is such a joke. I make as many games as I can coming from Tulsa. Our crowd is embarrassing.

 

[Laxtothemax12]

Today it seems we have been a little better with Jelon out there instead of Woodard today. Just IMO.

 

[MNsooner]

The amazing thing is that as bad as we have played, we are just a few minutes of good basketball away from putting TCU away for good.

 

[AdaSooner]

That's more like it! Now, build on this lead and don't let them back in the game.

 

[JBaker]

Ok!
Put the foot on their throat here!

 

[opsooner]

59-49 OU at under 12.

Defense working hard during that stretch.

 

[stormspencer]

It's about damn time!!!! Now finish this!!!

 

[NickZepp]

Defense has been solid, offense has been far too sloppy.
