*******OU-West Virginia Game Thread*******

[quick release]

Getting to the arena 90 minutes before tip is clearly affecting us. Tough break...

 

[MNsooner]

To be honest, WVU should be beating us by more, right?

Fortunately this team has a lot of fight. Hopefully we can figure this thing out.

Boxscore at the half. No Sooner with more than 6 points. Enough said.

[MNsooner]

You'd think with all those missed shots we might have a few more offensive rebounds.

 

[MNsooner]

We're not getting calls at the rim. We've got to get more open 3s.

Seems like this one is an absolute stinker. Had practice, couldn't watch the first half, but saw Clark is 3-9? Damn that wont win on the road.

 

[opsooner]

OU shooting 34.6% and 25% from 3.
WV shooting 41.75 and 31.3% from 3.

OU with 7 TOs and only 2 for WV.

Need to be stronger with the ball and makes some shots.

This is frustrating as WVU is nothing special, but they've got it going and we seem to not be present.

We could use …
1. An software update for Clark - we're running "Cam 2012".
2. Buddy has those games where he scores 17 points in a half … one of those would come in handy right now.

Also we've taken far fewer 3s. We're a good shooting team. We need to be playing to that strength. Trying to bang with them inside isn't working.

 

[slappy in OP]

Let's see what the team is made of. Each time I doubt them, this team has responded. We certainly had some bad breaks with this game, but we can do this.

#3 from WVU looks like under 6' but gets to the rim any time he wants. I love Lon as our coach, but we can't play defense.

 

[tooney]

Too much dribbling and individual play.....

And standing around on both ends. Guys look tired.

Agree. I'd like to see us get more kicks off of the drives. We're shooting a lot of strongly contested inside shots. Probably getting fouled more than called by that's life on the road - take the open shots!

 

[opsooner]

Spangler is taking his eyes off the rim on some of his shots.

 

[MNsooner]

We may want to dial up some pressure defense at some point.

 

[MNsooner]

And that Harris kid is hitting contested 3s.

 

[stormspencer]

it's February....and we still can't defend a ball screen....ugh.

 

[Laxtothemax12]

this is garbage

 

[opsooner]

WV 51-41 at under 16

 

[JBaker]

We are playing better on offense, but with the continued laziness on defense, we aren't able to close the gap at all.
