Very impressed with the work Lon has done thus far

[Big Old Booger]

But I also expected it. I wanted him as HC when we hired Capel and I think our program would be so much further down the road than it is now but oh well.

I was very impressed with Pledger, he can actually play defense! And, Fitz can rebound! Who would have thought?

I was very impressed with Newell and he has proven he is a 2 guard and not a PG. Capel almost ruined him playing him at PG when he doesn't have that skill set. He is as good offensively as he was advertised and he is going to get better.

Osby is very good, but certainly not the level Capel tried to make him out to be. Obvious, he was trying to save his job to keep the gravy train paychecks deposited in his account.

Clark has progressed and I like his mid range game. Blair plays sparingly which is also good, and Grooms is very good. Late in the game he had 9 assists to only one turnover. That is very good, and we never saw that level of PG play last year.

Arent isn't as good as I hoped but he will improve, and Washington and Honore make nice complementary players.

I think this team could sneak into the big dance if they keep improving. Definite NIT team at the minimum.

i agree with you that they could make it to the NIT but if they keep winning games they could go to the big dance

I refuse to put any expectations of postseason on this team. I will let it play out this year. As long as they continue to play hard and compete, that's what I expect.

N-I-T!! N-I-T!! N-I-T!!




...Yes, I'm psyched about even the possibility of getting into the NIT...

First time that I have seen the men play this year, and I have to say that I am VERY impressed! Great discipline, great defense tonight. Very few turnovers.

Not sure how good Santa Clara is, but OU looks extremely crisp. It's a pleasure to watch them play, unlike the last couple of seasons under Capel.

They've improved a lot since Idaho State. They are going to play hard and give it all they have. They will make us proud for sure. That's all we can ask for.

I don't know the ceiling of this OU team, but I do know that we have an established identity now. I like what I've seen so far from who we've played, especially the improvement from game to game. I think we'll win some games we weren't supposed to win, and we'll see where that lands us in the end. We could beat St. Louis and be 5-0, which nobody who is semi-sane would have predicted before the tournament.

Im with you, but I do have championship aspirations, 76 Classic baby! Beat Big Rick!
