Has looked absolutely porous during the back half of conference play. We can't stop dribble penetration and give up way too many easy buckets. What gives?
 
I'm not sure, sometimes it looks as if we have blocks tied to our feet. During the middle of the season we were moving our feet, switching on screens ect. Almost as if we have lost some aggression and are playing timid hoping we don't lose. These last couple of losses have stung, but i am proud of these guys and especially the seniors who have endured some craptastic basketball during their tenure at OU. Hoping they get the tourney bid and gives us one last run of heart stopping basketball and make some noise along the way. They need to get some confidence back before post season play. And get back to having fun and playing ball, it almost looks like they aren't having fun and that seemed to be a key ingredient for them in their early success
 
My biggest pet peeve has been our defense letting the opponents drive to the bucket at will. For whatever reason, it usually happens in the second half and is part of a comeback which we may or may not be able to withstand.
