OU vs kansas 8pm CST return of the Daug

[Sooner Season]

Let's see - we can't shot the ball, we can't rebound, we can't block out, we can't guard and the dang crowd, when it was close, sets on their hands. Why do we even play this game?
Another thing Lon needs to put Reaves on the bench and leave him there.

It always amazes me when people who aren't there criticize those of us who are there for not being loud enough. If you were there oketex, my apologies, if not, well................

A missed rebound is like a turnover in my opinion, the other team gets the ball in a situation in which you could have kept it or gained it. Kansas outrebounded us by 14 last night on a night in which we shot 31%, that's..... not good

If you shoot 31% you’re going to get outrebounded almost every time.

By the way, does anyone know why Alondes Williams only played 3 minutes?

Because he constantly turns the ball over. They want him to play to his ability but he is in a funk

Of course, but let's not pretend that we are a good rebounding team, we are far from it. I didn't track second chance points, but my guess is we got dominated in that area even though we missed 43 shots. I was watching some of the 2015 KU game. That team had Buddy, Cousins, Spangler etc. and the difference was stunning. That team attacked the glass with a vengeance. I don't ever see this team attack the glass, maybe Hill every once in a while. It's a real problem and I don't know why we don't get to the glass. Maybe it's a personnel issue, we don't really have any true post players that play major minutes.

We are a poor offensive rebounding team. We need a Spangler or Osby bad.

Was there a lot of blue at Lloyd Noble??

 

[Sooner Season]

Not as much as I expected to be honest. I would say the crowd was 80/20 OU.

I like Lon and all he's stabilized things at OU after they could have really gone wrong after the Jeff Capel disaster. He's brought in 2 players that will be star NBA players for a while. But we may be needing to move on from him and find someone that can get us more talent. We just aren't where we should be in basketball with talent top to bottom. Doolittle has a lot of promise and maybe could be an NBA level player but we are wasting him with the talent we have right now everywhere else.

I think a lot of us feel this way, and I would add that the X's and O's aren't there either. You can't run a pro-style offense if there are at least 3 guys on the court you don't have to guard. I have a ton of respect for Coach Kruger and he really righted the ship, but I'm right there with you.
