Tonight's Game 7pm CST on Bally Sports OK OU vs NWST

[steverocks35]

Not really a very good half on either end. We need to pick up the intensity. It would also help to play inside out. We are too one-dimensional at the moment.

 

[pnkranger]

I would describe our offense so far as brutal and lifeless. Defense looks good. Rebounding is going to be an ongoing issue.

 

[mict085]

The last 5 minutes of the half were awful. Just terrible. Not enough movement on offense, settling for too many bad shots. Defense has been ok but again, the last 5 minutes were not really good defense. Ugly.

Meanwhile Brady Manek has 16 points on 7-12 shooting for North Carolina. Wish he would have stayed but it is what it is.

Finally got the ESPN thing to load, but it keeps flashing to previously points in the game. One minute it will show halftime, then it shows 5 minutes left in the half.

Getting outrebounded 19-18
Harkless didn't score
4-15 from 3
More turnovers than assists

However, winning the game.

Probably one of those things where the team will pull away midway through the 2nd... Get a barrage of 3's and NWSU can't score enough to deal with it.

Yikes.

It is the first game. Team looks clunky and unathletic. Ball movement isn't near as crisp as last week. Scoring options very limited. NW St much more physical which is alarming. Long way to go. But again, first game.

Hopefully more crisp second half..

The reliance on the 3 point shot is sickening

lol watch much basketball these days?

yep they got things rolling pretty good ... got up 8 and the intensity dropped ..

shots will come and go but they need to stay locked in on D

 

[OUsky]

Just need to knock down open 3's. Missed 7 to 8 that were wide open. Need to get Jacob some looks as well.

 

[Stikboy]

Forcing shots.

I thought he was a grad transfer so his only other option was to graduate and not play or play overseas or play somewhere else. Could be wrong though.

This was about like I expected a team like this to look so far.

 

[NickZepp]

Great run going on here.

 

[NickZepp]

Up 11 only gave up 2 points in the first 4 minutes.

This was about like I expected a team like this to look so far.

Every player in the country got a free year last season due to Covid. He could have come back.

 

[mict085]

Much better to start this half. We need to maintain this intensity on both ends. Jalen hill with the spark. Keep it up.

 

[WichitaSooner]

Hill looks like a liability on both ends.

 

[Stikboy]

Love seeing Hill ball.

Yep.

Also love Goldwire on the drive

 

[BoulderSooner]

Hill with his first min at the 3.

 

[NickZepp]

Dominating by 20 now. 2nd half is much better safe to say.
