Their center Williams said something

They are certainly selective about when they call that.

The team mentality was great today. Focus on rebounding and getting it inside. Takes the 3s when you are open. Also run when you have it.

Perhaps they decided they had heard it enough, I noticed a couple of other times he was saying something and the refs gave him a look.

This. It's just basketball not rocket science

West Virginia games are the hardest to officiate.

From their players reaction to foul calls, you'd think they never get called for a foul. Course, they only get called for about half what they actually commit.

Well said. The toughness we showed today....well, I hadn't seen it to that degree all year. To beat WV at their house, you have to be mentally and physically tough.

Today OU remembers how to shoot and wins by 10+.

I'm not sure whether it's a good or bad sign for the future, but they won by 10+ without remembering how to shoot.

As a Sooner fan that lives in WV, this was a beautiful win. Still have to clean up the mental mistakes & Buddy's ball handling, but great team effort from everyone!

What makes McNease a better athlete than Lattin?

Both seem to be good athletes, but Lattins game is more polished. McNeace looks a lot like Khadeem did last year early in the season. Such a shame we recruited Manyang if he's not going to play. Should have played McNeace in those minutes earlier in the season.

The toughness to overcome 2 big technicals that both lead to big momentum changes was huge. I think this team will be OK. I will be surprised if we lose another conference game if we can continue to play tough like today.

Excellent win and one I believed we could win. WVU is good when they shoot at a high rate, today they had trouble getting shots to fall, some fo it being of defense stepped up today. Was nice to see.

Limited the turnovers, good transition game as well.

Excellent win and should keep us at #3, depending on what KU does this evening.

This. And we win today despite shooting poorly from deep. Imagine if we get it back going

I agree. One of the keys for today was all the transition buckets especially early when we weren't making jumpers.

 

[SoonerTraveler]

We got a resilient bunch of guys on this team - win or lose hard not to be proud of them.

Spot on. Wonderful observation.
