"The Sooners have lost all four of their games decided by single-digit scoring margins this season, the latest being Monday’s 85-78 setback at Kansas in which they led 69-65 with 4:56 remaining. From that point, the Sooners missed seven of their eight 3-point tries, didn’t register a 2-point shot and turned the ball over once on a TaShawn Thomas charge."
That paragraph pretty much says it all. In tight games, our shot selection hasn't been good down the stretch....usually a product of too much "one-on-one" and not near enough ball movement. There are several little things to improve upon, but simply put, in crunch time, this team needs to make better decisions and get to the basket. If they do that, chances are that things will start going better in close games.
