Sooner’s On The Road to Face UTSA

[sheepdogs1]

Did Muni play in the last ten minutes???

Didn't appear so and going small actually helped.

87-67 game over

We're in control at the under 4 timeout, 78-62.

This team is CAPABLE of being a very good defensive team. We had two four-minute stretches of great defense I haven't seen from them in a long time.

As much as I hate to say it, we’re a better defensive team when Muni is on the bench. Maybe Lon got his attention by making him sit most of the second half.

Kansas scores last 7 points of half for 40-36 halftime lead over Vermont

He really didn't seem to be much of a factor tonight.

He was in the first half. I figured him playing a lot more in the second half, but I'll defer to Coach Kruger

No. Once we went to more of a pressure D he was out and our D was much better. They were spreading us out and using drive/kick and drive/shoot where he was a liability. His D seems to only be effective when he can help with the block.

Manek can’t shoot but his rebounding has improved twofold

He had 10 points and 11 rebounds if the online stats are correct. He was the only player with a double-double.

Reminds me of someone but I can't remember his name.

I think these 2 games are his career highs for rebounds

He’s much stronger than last year

I don’t think he’s a good team defender

For a road game, the Sooners shoot 50.7% from the field, just over 42% from 3, and 82% from the line.....not bad at all.

Doolittle ties Manek with team high 11 rebounds and was 4 of 4 shooting. Bench had 19 points.

Its a win, go back home and work to get better

it was 57-54 when manek and calixte miscommunicated and threw the ball away. manek was pissed. kruger was pissed. don’t know what calixte said to manek, but gave him a five and seemed to settle him. manek gets the following steal and we stretch the lead to 14. little things. but big things.

Manek appears to have watched a lot film to really improve his rebounding. It seemed like the last 8 minutes, he was getting himself in great position for virtually every board. When Muni and Kuath are on the bench, he is going to have to shoulder the rebounding load.

Yeah, he's really been mixing it up harder inside so far this season. Part of it is the freshman cobwebs are gone and the rest seems to be both physical and attitude. Plus he's had some shots drop on the road so his confidence level might be good.

We were pretty good early on with him on the court. Our size really disrupted their offense early in the game. In the 2nd half, their quickness and aggressiveness smacked us in the face and we got better by going smaller and quicker.
