Yep, Manyang needs an unstopable sky hook!
It amazes me that guys his size don't practice that shot constantly.

I'm hoping OU wins its first national championship. Only posted an opinion on what would take this team to the next level. This is a very good team, improving every week. Lattin is playing better than I thought he would, Spangler has more range than I thought. When AK played it was clear he wanted to post people up, I just don't see that with Lattin and Spangler. All I'm saying is, it would be nice to see a play called where the guards pass the ball down low and let the bigs take it. Maybe 2-3 more times a game. Because we can't expect our guards to always be on fire. Even though it appears buddy is the greatest shooter in OU history. Denver, is that really too much to ask?
We have a trip to LSU next. Let's see how we handles Ben Simmon.
Perry Ellis scored like what over 20 points against us. And he is only 6'8" more like 6'6''.
You and soonerjunky worry too much about how many points we're getting from the post this year. That's not to say, I wouldn't be thrilled if our post players scored more. Who wouldn't? But, given a choice between a post player who could score almost at will and the guards we've got this year, I would take our backcourt and not think twice about it.
Coachtalk, skyvue, and stormspencer; is this newbie still making a clown thread? Maybe I was right!

Yep. Buddy struggled for a half. And cat from KU had a career day. Still a top team.
How far do you think we go in the ncaa tourney?
I am disappointed that Lon can't get some improved plays. A screen and then go one on one. That is disappointingly easy to defend by a well coached athletic team.
I would concur that Lattin and Buford are improving and think that Spangler is more than holding his own. However there was a big drop off the the front courts performance in Lawrence and Norman. We scored 36 points in the paint in Lawrence, only 12 in Norman. Our bigs had 34 boards in Lawrence and 14 in Norman. We did improve in second chance points especially when compared to the Hawks. However I attribute that to the guards out rebounding the front line 19-14. Whereas in Lawrence the interior players out rebounded the guards 34-21.
Quite a turnaround for the big from Lawrence to Norman.
As far as 3 point shooting will take them. If they get hot, they can't be beat. If not, could knocked out in the sweet 16
NCAA tournament is a guards game. Senior heavy guards.
;And damn we lost by 4 to an "avg" KU team? What a sucky loss!
That's my point, we were ice cold and got down 16 points and had plenty of chances to win at the end.

Average team for the Jayhawks, perhaps. But the boys from Lawrence are 2-0 against my guys this year and it has been Self's M.O. for years to close the season strong by winning the tough games on the road. In other words when the going gets tough his teams get tougher (Kansas 5-0 the last 5) not so much for the Sooners (3-2) this year. We have been far from impressive the last three games. Now is the time for the Sooners to get on even keel and win out. For certain I do not want to open the B12 tournament playing ISU or Texas and that is where we are now. We need that #2 seed.
Kansas is very average, we are the better team. ku will be gone after the first weekend. as usual.
OU Final 4
hard to overcome the refs when they help ku in big moments of games. the warning on cousins was bush league. stopped the roll we were on and we were about to go on a huge roll..
