*****OU-Texas A&M CC Pregame Notes/Game Thread*****

We should have dominated a team like this on the inside.

Dominate with what, our two 6' 8" forwards? :facepalm

Texas A&M-CC has three players listed at 6' 8" or taller. One of them, Zane Knowles, is a 6' 10" senior. The best big on their team was Rashawn Thomas, a 6' 7" 245 freshman from Oklahoma City. He had a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds. OU could have used a kid like him this year.

In all seriousness, sheepdog, I don't think this OU team has the size to dominate anyone we play on the inside. They're a scrappy bunch to be sure. But our frontcourt is smaller than any OU team I can remember in sometime. Fortunately, we make up for that with big guards and wings who have quick hands and feet.

No such thing as a bad win, so I'll be watching it later, if it aired here and my Tivo captured it successfully.

Sky, despite a couple of things you have read on this thread, I think you'll be impressed with OU's performance in today's game. I honestly believe this was one of our best efforts. Our defense was solid most of the game, and our offense was run like a fine Swiss watch at times. Sure, there were breakdowns on both ends of the court. But, on the whole, I believe you will be pleased with what you see. It's a game worth watching, that's for sure.

Thanks, Ada.

And I'm pleased to announce that FCSC came through and televised the game, and My Tivo did its job its job in recording it, so I'm all set for viewing the game.

I thought it was by far our best defensive game. Clearly still a work in progress but they are making good progress.

Clark sort of disappeared. Buddy and Cousins has very good games. Woodard some good game. Breakout game by Bennett with 9 points and 5 blocks.

Hornbeak in foul trouble most of the game.

Looks like we are getting closer to the 9 man rotation.
