good guys win
Fantastic win by the Sooners!!! The LNC needs to be packed on the 31st against Texas.
It wasn't a thing of beauty, but I'll take it!!!
We need just a little more scoring from the other guys across the board. Nothing they aren’t capable of but they have to execute better. Uzan with a solid line but would like just a little more scoring from him. Not expecting him to go off but just a little more to ease the burden on sherfield, groves. Easier said than done.
If uzan, Jacob, hill, Oweh, and Cortes all made just one more basket, that’s 10 points and a commanding lead that turns into a blowout. We just need a little more from those guys and we will be much more capable of competing in the Big12.
Their center, Castleton should not have any need to complain about the officials. They let him drive his shoulder into Tanner Groves over and over again.
I just got back from the game, so thought I would type up a quick post before going to bed. I thought both teams played very good defense throughout, especially the good guys. I loved the defensive intensity from the OU side from start to finish. Florida just didn't get that many open looks. Their center, Castleton should not have any need to complain about the officials. They let him drive his shoulder into Tanner Groves over and over again. I'm surprised Florida wasn't trying to get him the ball on every position.
Offensively, I loved how we worked the ball around on almost every possession to try to get a good shot. As we all know, this is a limited team offensively, but they really are well-coached. The one thing that kept raising my blood pressure? Jalen Hill not understanding the concept of physics. I don't know how it looked on TV, but live, it was excruciating to watch him think he was Tim Duncan down low. Everyone in the arena could see that his shots were going to get blocked. The Florida fans nearby were chuckling as I was getting visibly frustrated with Hill. He did a great job, though, rebounding the ball. All in all, though, it was a must win, and it felt good to leave the arena with that W.
Glad we won. It was a grind. Missed FTs in the last 2:00 really grind my gears but we won.
Florida isn’t very good. Our continued struggle to score more than 60 points a game is going to get us killed in the Big12. We are skating on thin ice as far as our tourney hopes this season.
