**********OU-Tulsa Game Thread**********

[sheepdog]

I think the spread was 12 for this one. How early in the game did Spangs get injured?

Before the halfway mark of the 1st stanza. Appears to be a calf injury.

 

[sheepdog]

Would be nice if Bennett could assert himself. Has hands like a player from last year. I wonder who that would be.

Glad to hear that Neal played well today.

 

[sheepdog]

Clark fouls. TU at the line. Lead at 8 1:40 left.

 

[opsooner]

That was almost more than NBA continuation but I'll take it. :woot

 

[sheepdog]

1:01 left and TU at the line and makes shot. Lead a 7 under 1 minute.

 

[opsooner]

Did Tubbs just say something about "50 and sag"? Now you young guys know what's coming!

 

[JBaker]

Good God our defense is bad. And let's make these FTs please. Not shooting them well.

 

[sheepdog]

Damn

 

[sheepdog]

Hield makes both free throws. Up by 8. TU scores. Hield back to the free throw line w/31 seconds. Misses first but makes second. Lead stands at 7. 98 -91.

 

[opsooner]

I like that OU went with some soft full court pressure there.

 

[sheepdog]

Turnover by TU. 1 of two free throws made by OU. OU back at the line and makes both. Up by 10. 101 to 91. Close to 80 free throws taken by both teams. Game over 101-91. Woodard w/24 points and 8 assists.

 

[JBaker]

OU wins 101-91.
UGLY win, but I'll take it. Especially without. Hornbeak and Spangler.

Now come on get this defense together... We have regressed since last year big time there.

Spectating is not the best quality to have on defense.

Definitely not.

It was much better the last 2...

We've got to do better for A&M

Frustrating game to watch. Every time the game should have been over, Tulsa made a bunch of shots, and we made mistakes. This was a good game for Jordan, until he fouled on that three-point shot/five point play.

It seemed that Tulsa got what they wanted on offense. We never really took the game away from them. With their record, I didn't expect the athletes that I saw.

I am surprised they have been so poor. They have some good pieces. I'm not sold on Manning.
