Pokes look good

 

[Crimson&Cream14]

They're up 5 on one of the top 2 or 3 teams in the country at halftime and we're putting up 2 more points than turnovers in a half. Good stuff.

 

[AdaSooner]

Cunningham would make any team better. But this Pokes team showed they can be good without him.

They’re also young. I don’t even want to think about what the future holds if we don’t bring in a couple of quality bigs in next year’s class.

 

[sheepdogs1]

Been an exciting game for those who just like watching the game in general.

 

[MrAnderson]

Osu is a FF team

 

[soonerbms]

**** me. If OSU makes a deep tournament run in a year in which it was supposed to be banned from the postseason, that will really suck. They have the best player in the country with very a very good supporting cast.

 

[Crimson&Cream14]

Boynton going for a Big 12 title and the same amount of wins in one tournament as Kruger's had in his entire 10 years here. Good stuff.

 

[sheepdogs1]

OSU-Texas for the finale.

I could see them making a run like Tech did a couple years ago. They could beat anybody right now, including the Zags.

Can't be... Boynton had only been an assistant for a few years and is younger than Quannas White .... No way he and Juwan Howard can be out performing Lon Kruger

They also have better players than OU. And the talent gap will only widen next year.

Isn't that weird too? Its like OU is rebuilding next year, a decade into the Kruger regime. And we can't get talent required to meet program objectives.

Hmmmmmmmm

Yep. They have underclassmen making plays all over the place. We have Harmon and then.....Trey Phipps? Or Hill who's gone for double digits once all year and Vic who hasn't done so since December against Houston Baptist. Yikes.

Yeah, there’s no way we could find a coach that could recruit better talent than Lon Kruger. We should just be happy making the tourney and losing 8 of our last 10 every year and never winning anything meaningful.

Speaking of.... The fact Jalen hill starts games and is regular rotation yet contributes nothing tells me a lot about Issanza and Garang

 

[Soonerinkc]

Agree with everyone... but our two reg guys.. boulder and Wichita think we should be happy with just getting there.

Honestly I’d give getting in every year (how much of this is due to “respect” Kruger gets by his peers) to skipping a yr or two and then a deeper run...

But we don’t know anything

Hmmmmmmmm

The pumpers would argue making the tournament most years is meeting program objectives. That's the disconnect. Some people expect success and some are surprised by it. The bar is noticeably lower for the latter group.

Either that or it’s just Kruger being “loyal”.... he’d had issues in the past.

OSU has made tons of deep runs recently, you got us there. By this time next week, Boynton will have finally coached in one more NCAA tournament game than all of us on the board!

Also, if you worry so much about what I think, is is that tough to at least accurately summarize my position?

The only thing I’ve said is Kruger isn’t worth 14th highest paid coach... tell me why he is?
