**********OU-Texas Game Thread**********

screw them... seniors were pathetic

No kidding! Pledger just disappeared in the 2nd half! 2 points! 2! Step the hell up dude! He's an all-american stander. When he's not moving and someone gets him the ball he's great....for a half.

Tough to make the tourney with 11 conference wins after this, like i said 6 weeks ago we need to get to 12 to feel safe.

 

[OklahomaLibertarian]

Turnovers, the press and fouls are the only things keeping this team from being really good.

 

[mict085]

That was a horrible collapse against a bad team. Tx sucks, but we sucked more.

 

[Soonerman]

That is a soul-crushing choke job of a loss. DAYUM.

 

[schoonerdriver]

If they could have gotten a couple of easy buckets when they broke the press and had 2 on 1, Texas would have stopped pressing. We weren't attacking after breaking the press.

You are out of your mind. Maybe if we had 11, and ended up in 6th place, but I don't think that can happen. We beat TCU and WVU, finish in 5th place or better, we're Dancing. Won't matter what we do if we play ISU again in KC.

 

[Keller Sooner]

Calm down. If we make it to the NCAA, it's really more than I expected. This game really hurts, but I feel good about this team. Time to cure the press problem and move on.

 

[WTSooner]

It hurts to lose HOW we did, but come on, everybody knew this should be a tough game. UT has been much better with Kabongo.

 

[MercedeSooner]

Was really doubtful we went the whole season without blowing a game against an inferior opponent in Big 12 play.... just can't believe it happened like this.

Agreed. I think OU made a mistake by pulling the ball out when we broke the press and running clock. Gotta make teams pay when you break the press!

 

[tsou89]

maybe the worst BB choke in ou BB history...or maybe collapse. Someone we"ll make us pay for this one somehow. Lots of blame to go around

 

[coolm]

yes, we go ALL SEASON without a loss like this.

a few years ago the season was a mass of losses like this.

isn't it nice to be down to just one?

hmmmmm, it's called "perspective"

 

[snydrosooner]

Its not that we lost. Its how it went down. Played like a NCAA team for 3/4 the game. Played like 12th street Rec team the other 1/4th.

If we would have not been up 22 and only been up 10, the comeback loss is not as tough to take.

 

[mict085]

This team will lose to isu. Probably still make the tourney, but one and done. Decent team, but jr high press and they can't handle it.

 

[AdaSooner]

I knew, and you knew, but the majority of posters on this board thought this game would be easy. Kabongo was the difference, not to mention losing Buddy Hield since our last meeting with UT.

 

[WTSooner]

Yep. Been trying to say this on the board for a couple of weeks now, with people predicting us winning out and stuff. We aren't good enough to run off 5, or 6 straight wins too often. We're just not.

 

[mort6481]

definitely needed buddy for this one. Our guards just couldn't handle the pressure.

 

[dksooner]

We will see. What does Ken Poms stats say about pledgers foul?

 

[KCRuf/Nek]

32-10 run? C'mon, guys.

Don't you know....it's the refs.
