** OU vs Baylor Game Thread**

[Soonerman]

nope...needs more seasoning in practice and maturity with the game of basketball...not all things need playing time to improve upon...

Needs to bulk up a little bit too.

Why isn't Cade playing? Lack of height?

foul trouble already had 2 fouls i believe.....

2 early fouls.

That was a great drive by Blair to finish out the half. We're playing well and hanging tough with Baylor. We need to hit those open three's in the second half to have a chance. If we win this game I'm going to change my avatar!

Agree...and to me that falls under the maturity part...some things just take time with some players...cant grow or get bigger by playing time...he will gain confidence and weight over the next offseason, count on it...

there is so much difference between yr 1 and yr 2...just ask Pledger and Fitz...and both of those guys were more prepared to play the Major D1 game than Neal...

With the obvious and total size mismatch Baylor poses to us, I'm impressed that we're within 5 at the break. If we come out and maintain defensive pressure, I think we can make up some good ground--Baylor has been shooting very well and hopefully they cool off (we've also had at least 2 in and out long-range shots!!!)

Good half.

Capelables Prez told me that the crowd is the best of the year thus far as far as noise is concerned. The place will explode if we can get a good run going in the second half.

Here's the correct stats link. My bad on the first try:

If we can start making some 3's...look out. I love it that we're hanging with them.

+1. We need a good start in the second half.

 

[BigTime]

Let's get this half started strong!

 

[Tony]

Pledger is not having a good game.

 

[NickZepp]

Baylor up 43-41

 

[MarnePatch]

Alright Alright!!!

 

[NickZepp]

How can you stop Perry Jones? He can make shots from about 20 feet and is dangerous within 5 feet. Our offense is hot to start.

Lace Dun with sick fade away 3. Baylor up 5.

 

[Tony]

Good time to remind people that LaceDarius Dunn is a horrible person.

 

[BigTime]

Fitz with a jam! Nice feed by Cam.

Lace Dunn is absolutely deadly from deep.

 

[steverocks35]

We're playing good defense, can't do anything about a guy picking up a loose ball and swishing a fadeaway three.
