If Pledger and Fitzgerald continue to play as well as they have so far, I honestly don't know how you can keep them out of the starting lineup? Lack of experience and defense doesn't fly anymore. They're playing just as well on defense as the veterans, maybe better. OU expanded their lead every time those two were on the floor today.
Pledge: 21 points on 8-9 from the field (4-5 from three) shooting, in only 19 minutes. WOW! He's now 8 of 11 (73%) from three in two games, counting the exhibition. DOUBLE WOW!!! Steven is sure doing a nice job of making my case that he may go down as the best three point shooter in OU history!
Fitz: 14 points, 5 rebs (3 offensive), after logging 10 points and 5 boards in the exhibition game. I said he would get starter-like minutes by early in the conference portion of our season, but no way did I think he would play this well right out of the gate.
Starters or starter-like minutes aside, this is one heck of a class of newbies Coach Capel brought in this season! They put up a combined 54 points today and 46 in the exhibition game, not to mention getting more than their share of rebounds. Consider me impressed!!! :clap
