Thoughts on the Texas game

[cowboysooner]

First, I just don’t know what to think about the unreal inconsistency of jb and reaves. It is hard to understand. Great one moment, then missing the next.

Second, played ok in most all phases but shooting. Ironic that we ended up losing due to missed free throws.

And, finally, the officiating in college basketball is making the game un-watchable. The powers at be are ruining a game that was nearly perfect. Conservatively there were 200 blatant fouls not called. Not talking about bias in case you are wondering.

Yea, but when you are 25-0 at the foul line you can't complain about refs too much. Texas had A LOT of reason to complain, but OU certainly doesn't.

While I agree about poor officiating, the refs were trying to give us the game and we wouldn’t have it. We shot 25 more FTs that texas and lost. Without those 25 FTs we may have only scored 35 points in the whole game. That is awful. As in, before the shot clock era awful.

I'm glad other people saw the same thing I did.

Oh, and my thoughts on the game were... watching that game was worse than getting a colonoscopy. Without anesthesia.

At least we dont have to worry about playing in the 8/9 game anymore. If we get in at all it will be a double digit seed

 

[TINY]

Embarrassing home performance by lon and the team. Lot on the line for conference/NCAA tourney and also including manny o in attendance. Kiss him goodbye!

What is hard to understand is how two of our best free throw shoots miss FT's at the end of the game that would have put it away.

Is it really that hard to understand? This is the most weak minded, soft, non clutch OU team i've ever seen. That is if you take away the previous 3 years....

Was manek actually crying on the one foul late in the game?.... like literally crying?

I know there was a run there late in 2nd half that the refs really let things go ( on both sides) then called touch fouls...

But man manek’s body language and facial expressions were.... I dunno... wussy-ish?

Manek always has that look when he's frustrated. My wife always says that he looks like he is going to cry when things don't go his way.

 

[Jccouger]

Manek is a head case. He’s cried at least 10+ times in his career.

On one hand I appreciate how much it means to him, on the other when he’s having these nights it just snow balls out of control.

Weird dude.

Where are all the sunshine pumpers to tell us how this wasn't ACKSHUALLY a bad loss, that Texas is an amazing team, and we really played a great game, just couldn't pull it out at the end against awesome competition?

I’m happy for you?!?

If you think I'm happy for that game last night you don't know me. It was the most disgusted I think I've ever been after a loss.

 

[Hollisp]

Tough loss. Sucks. Shot awful and wilted at the end. Like I stated previously this team is exceptionally hard to root for sometimes. The swings are wild with them. Gotta win Saturday or we are bubblicious!

 

[steverocks35]

Oh Gawd, I just realized we had some recruits in the building last night for that debacle. NOOOOO! I wonder what they are thinking after witnessing that.
