Maybe these will make you feel better. Or not.

@mhouckOU: Not even to December and @SoonerHoops has as many wins away from home (4) as all of last season (4). Had 2 in 2009-10 and 2 in 2010-11.

@jamesfraschilla: unfortunately, last year's team would not have won that game last night. proud of my teammates.. changing the culture

@RJ_Young: The #Sooners broke Oral Roberts' 24-game regular-season home court winning streak with a 63-62 win.

@RJ_Young: Oklahoma's bench outscored Oral Roberts 26-0 in OU's win.

@RJ_Young: Kruger on the win at ORU: “Tight games late this early in the season are great to learn from." #Sooners

@Amath22Juice: Much needed W. Once again, not pretty but we take it

@RJ_Young: Buddy Hield came off the bench for 11 points in the last 13:28 of the game. Better buckets late than never.

@ALentzOU: How about this @SoonerHoops team? Four wins by seven points or less and 4-1 away from home. Great early season experience.

SoonerSports.com: Trailing 48-39, the Sooners outscored ORU 24-14 the game's final 11:21.
 
I think our body of work going 5-1 with most of those away form home is solid. The problem is that the eye test says we have a long way to go. On the other hand, if we improve I am fine with us winning some ugly games on the way there. I just hope we hit our stride at some point and actually put together a streak of good basketball across a couple of games.

Nice post. Anyone that watches this team can see it's potential and talent. Hope we hit our stride at the right time.

The defense is progressing nicely. The rebounding has been inconsistent. And the offense has been spotty at best (not uncommon for a young team in November. Just got to keep getting better!
 
Winning ugly in close games has two advantages: (1) it's a win and (2)the team learns a lot more from hard fought, close wins that easy gimmes.
