Who knows what will become of this team, but this is a good sign.

Appreciate it! I sure hope he is available for that exhibition. Dude hasn’t played in 12 months and even if they say it’s nothing to be worried about, I think I’ll go ahead and worry.

Has he been training with the oline perhaps?

Don’t know the injury. Was told “not serious”

But he was not available to play last night

I'm glad it was good on good, but it seems odd not to get more run for guys like Nwankwo and Rogers who you will clearly depend on at times throughout the year. We'll see if Atak is ready, but my guess is he'll end up being 10th guy after Jones is back.

Let's gooo. Couple 20 bombs. Brown getting points. We should be scary

played like a real game treat it like one.

Next one I’d expect more mins. Gotta prove to the guys they can play with one.

plenty of non con games to warm
Them up.

They are practicing against really good starters every day

gotta complain about something

I've seen several pre-season top 40's and such and NONE of them have mentioned OU. This team has the potential to be a top 25 team, IF we can remain healthy this year. I also recently saw a "Top 100" college players and NO OU players were even mentioned! Brown and Pack (although on the smallish side) could be one of the most underrated backcourts in the country. BTW, that list of top 100 players had Oweh at # 16! Look, he's a nice player and had a good year last year, but that seems a little high to me. We all know his games here, but had he remained at OU and not transferred and had identical numbers...I promise you he wouldn't be ranked the same. A little bias involved there IMO.

I'm excited about the upside of this team, and beating a top 10 type team...is a very good sign this early.

If that was directed at me, take that somewhere else. I've been here as long as this board has been up and have not ever been a negative nancy or a naysayer. I think early season development is critical for young guys -- more important thana scrimmage win -- and stated my opinion.

Round of 32 or bust! And hoping for a sweet 16

OU has been treated just fine by the media and pollsters IMHO. There have been multiple seasons where we have vaulted into the top 20, even the top 10, based on early results, even though we haven't shown an ability to sustain that level as the season progresses. And numerous publications this offseason have rated our transfer class as one of the best in the country.

And I disagree on Oweh. When OU has good players, they get plenty of love. Buddy and Fears weren't exactly household names when they started their careers, but once they started playing like stars, they got a lot of attention. TY was obviously on a different level, but ESPN practically designed their college hoops programming around him. Oweh was the best overall player on a really good team last year. If he had stayed at OU, put up those numbers last year, and been the best player on a Sweet 16 team, and then decided to return for his senior year, he definitely would be getting the same attention.

The National people will learn fast. Easily the most talented group since the Buddy years.

According to Lusk article this morning... it was a lower-body injury, nothing serious sounding at all, just held him out for precautionary reasons (AKA because it was a scrimmage)
