"We've got to get more solid defensively"

- Assist Coach Lew Hill when asked about halftime "tweaking"

Like the first half effort. After all the fouls in the exhibition games, good to see cleaner defense.

Kind of surprised how little Grooms played.

Thinking of dropping DirectTV already....

Fox Sports is the problem, not DirectTV.

FSOK is the acronym for Fox Sports Oklahoma, not SEC Volleyball. Why anyone would think that sports fans in this state really give a rat's rear end about a women's SEC volleyball match is beyond me? There are three FSOK channels available, plus two alternates, and not one of them was carrying the OU-ULM game. :facepalm

 

[AdaSooner]

Good to see Neal playing well. Nice tip there by Arent.

That JUCO for ULM attacks like a madman.

I'm glad you pointed that out. I like what I have seen out of Tyler the last couple of games. If he continues to improve, he could really help us this season.

 

[OUHoops]

Second half underway. Would like to see Cousins get going.

 

[BigTime]

PledgeHammer!!!! back to back 3s.

 

[OUHoops]

Pledger heating up with two three's. Leads OU with 9 points.

OU up 47-25 now.

 

[BigTime]

Another three! This one for Hornbeak. Sooners up 22.

 

[BigTime]

4 fouls for Pledger. He exits. Hield back in.

 

[NickZepp]

Sorry I was away for a few minutes.
Sooners up 49-26 after Cousins hits free throws.
Cousins with a steal and passes to M'Baye off the glass 51-26 OU.

 

[globecode]

I want the shoes that Cousins is wearing.

 

[OUHoops]

Cousins steals it at halfcourt then lays it off the backboard for an M'Baye dunk. Wow.

 

[BigTime]

Dang!

 

[cfin5256]

Dang!

Pretty, wasn't it?

 

[OUHoops]

Man, Hornbeak just does everything.

 

[BigTime]

Dunk-O-Meter, OUHoops?

 

[BigTime]

Man, Hornbeak just does everything.

Got some Austin "Big Balls" Johnson in him.
