a scout team can handle the ball better... embarrassing

 

[TheGimper]

Get Sam out of the game.

 

[WTSooner]

why does pledge just stand around when we are trying to break the press?

Stop.

Pledger does exactly what he is told to do. He isn't a main part of the press break.

 

[JBaker]

what a choke

This is all on Kruger.
He signaled to his team that this game was over.

This would be an implosion

 

[OklahomaLibertarian]

It's not just Grooms - didnt Cousins have the same problem at Baylor?

Same exact thing - they go press and our guards completely fail.

They keep dribbling themselves into the sideline.

 

[hoopsaustin]

looks like middle school girls

 

[BoulderSooner]

Teams are going to pick up on this teams inability to break the press. BIG BIG trouble come tournament times. Our terrible press break has let a TERRIBLE texas team back in the game......

Texas is a great defensive team. And have been all year

Cousins didn't have a costly intentional foul call.

Definitely pulled off too early.

You have to punish teams for pressing you. Can't let them get away with that.

How by having 3 starters Neal and Fitz on the court

 

[AdaSooner]

Practice from this day forward = handling the press.

Do you mean, again? This is not the first time we have struggled with the full court press.

 

[soonerhoops2012]

Stop.

Pledger does exactly what he is told to do. He isn't a main part of the press break.

You have to come to the ball! He's a great shooter when he's on, but he can also do other things on the court.....I think

 

[Laxtothemax12]

If OU throws this game away, they should not be tournament worthy

 

[hoopsaustin]

THIS, but doesnt really apply when you cant even get it to your own halfline

 

[coolm]

best we encounter this when we have a 22 pt lead and can possibly still pull out a win and learn a good lesson at the same time.

maybe the lesson will sink in this time.

 

[MNsooner]

We did earlier. By having Pledger hang around for the 3.

 

[BoulderSooner]

Cousins didn't have a costly intentional foul call.

Grooms got fouled all the way up the court

 

[Keller Sooner]

They need to take it to the middle if possible, the boundary is bad as another defender.
