OU vs #1 Houston 7pm CST on ESPN2

[hoopsaustin]

They go to the monitor and time it. Seemed to me like he got that off in less than 3 seconds.

How scientific is that?

 

[WTSooner]

That is crazy. No proof or anything lol

Dude, they put the timer on it. They do that all the time when the clock doesn't start. Never once seen them just "start over."

Illustrates what I saw in that Houston probably shot the ball more above their average than ou has.

Not very, but do you penalize them for the clock operator falling asleep?

 

[hoopsaustin]

I don't think OU has the horses to win but I'm impressed with the offensive performance thus far.

It almost pisses me off.. we scored more in 1 half than our last game lol

Yeah. Crap happens. The D doesnt get the benefit of seeing the clock and heck we might not have even thought the play was live

 

[StoopsBros]

2H line is OU +3.5

 

[WichitaSooner]

That play shouldn’t count at all. What the **** is going on here?

I’ve seen that scenario a lot and that’s what the refs always do. Even if it as the end of games. It makes sense. It’s very easy to use a stopwatch at the scorer’s table and determine exactly how much time ran off the clock.

I sure didn’t see this happening, an offensive game tonight. On pace for 96-90 game. I expect it to slow down a bit in the second half. Neither team will shoot it that well. Gotta keep fighting, defend better, rebound and fight like hell.

It was classic of us to give it up tho.. we just cant help ourselves taking that extra blow to the face before the end of each half

 

[CoachTalk]

Giving ourselves a chance

 

[WichitaSooner]

How scientific is that?

A stop watch? It’s precise to the hundredth of a second, so better than a game clock.

We should not even go in the locker room. Dont want us to lose our stroke ha

 

[Hecubus]

Its been a good game from our guys so far, do wish people would have shown up and filled the LNC for this. Also want Houston to stop shooting 100% on 2’s lol.

 

[Boom Soon]

I know! Why couldn’t they have this performance against Texas, or Tech, or @UCF or @ISU. They would have 100% won!

 

[CMSOONER]

Brutal brutal job by McCollum. Essentially let them get an uncontested shot off.

You're not wrong. But I'll give you credit, you are by far the best knit picker I've ever seen.

Against the #1 team in the country

It’s a sellout crowd. They have been great.

Well their big guy is hurt and maybe out.. could be a new game

I’m hoping we can somehow wear them down in the 2nd half.

Fouls will go in OU’s favor in the second half I think
