Sooners Against the Field

[SilliSooner]

Oklahoma has 18 games against the NCAA field and 9 games against top four seeds. Should be battle tested.

I'm surprised a few more of OUs opponents didn't make the tourney. I was sure Memphis had just as good as chance as Cinncinati to make it. I also thought Creghton and Harvard could have maybe made it in. Surprised Harvard didn't win the Ivy League.

Is there another team with more games against the tournament field?

 

[sperry]

Are you surprised those teams weren't as good as you thought they were? Because non deserved to make the tourney, they were all pretty bad.


Also, at the time we were being told Hawaii was ineligible for postseason play. what happened to that one?

 

[OUAllDay28]

Hawaii is ineligible next season, but it had just been announced. The confusion was understandable

 

[SilliSooner]

I thought Harvard had at least a good enough roster to capture the Ivy League. Their center was a top sixty high school player (rare for the Ivy's) and will be a pro either in the NBA or elsewhere. Tommy Amaker must have done a bad job.

Creighton is good year in and year out. They are usually competitive in their conference.

Memphis, I realize, had a lot of newcomers. Very talented newcomers and it was thought they would gel by season's end. I know they had some good wins, maybe bad losses also.

What was our record? How did our record compare to other teams?

I have us at 11-6 against tournament teams. Wonder where the 18th game is I didn't count

we atleast have a couple losses against ourselves...

 

[SilliSooner]

3 v Iowa State
3 v WVU
2 each v Texas, Texas Tech, Baylor and Kansas = 8
1 each v Tulsa, Villanova, Hawaii, Wisconsin

A record of 12-6

I should have counted the first Kansas game as two games.

We didn't play Tulsa this season.

So if we played ourselves, should we be favored?

Whichever team has Mitch Solomon is -5.5

I feel like you know absolutely nothing about the teams you're bringing up.

Memphis was 8-10 and 7th place in a bad AAC.
Creighton was 8-10 and 6th in the Big East.
Harvard was terrible and 6-8 in the Ivy.

We didn't play Tulsa this season.

I apologize. Confusing Tulsa with Oral Roberts. We normally play one of them each year.

I know that's how they finished up. I'm talking about perceptions at the first of the year and what Lon Kruger was thinking when he scheduled these guys.

Harvard had recruited well and had really high hopes. They gave us a tough game in Hawaii. Are we that bad that a mediocre Ivy League team has a center go off for 25 points and 16 rebounds against us?

If that's the case, we don't have a chance against a team with a deep front line. Oregon State with Gary Payton, Jr. In the back court and the entire Sengalese national team on their front line might destroy us.
