We want win

[sooners78]

over 12 games this yr., it is the worse collection of talent since 1980 and it want get much better unless some changes are made.

 

[SoonerBounce13]

BBJ?

We want win We want win We want in

 

[OULad]

Maybe we can sneak in Hollis Price or Eduardo, that is some change I can believe in.

 

[Sooner23]

Baby steps. I'll take whatever we can get this year. Next year I expect us to seriously challenge for a tourney berth...or else.

 

[okcsooner83]

challenge for a tourney berth? how about actually make the tournament or else. i guess i have too high of expectations for ou basketball. three out of five losing seasons does not cut it at oklahoma, make a change after this season.

 

[OULad]

I dont want Capel fired after this year, unless this years team gives up and doesnt scrap and claw all the way to the end. If they start phoning it in and losing games by 30+, then I expect a change to be made. Otherwise, ill let him try to reload for next year and give him one more chance.

 

[Sooner_In_MI]

I also want win. Multiple wins, in fact.

Sums up my thoughts well, lets see some progression this season and then make an attempt at a tourney bid next year.

I want win, Yeeeeaaaah, I want win, Yeeeeeeaaaah...

I would be surprised if this group won 11 more games... But hey, surprising things happen.

I expect at least 8 wins before Big 12 play. Maybe one or two on the road. But we should win all of our home games. If we can steal a road game and a game in Hawaii or beat Cincinnati that's as many as 11 games before Big 12 play. Our schedule is pretty soft. And if this team is better than last year they will win at least 5 or 6 games in conference. Maybe as many as 8 or 9 which will make this a 19-20 win team.

who is counting this season as a loss. It just started. They are 2 and 0. So they missed shots and the game was close and they needed overtime to win. They never quit even when they couldnt hit anything. At the end of the year this is a win and it does not matter how it looked.

 

[scrybe]

Pardon me, but do some of us need to be reminded that this team is 2-0? How about we wait 'til we actually lose a game before we start writing the season off?

Now scrybe you know there is no use for the logical/rational thinking on this board

If last year's team with three (count them, 3) McDonald's All-Americans and a lot more experience only managed to win 13 games, 12 or more victories for this year's team should be viewed as a reason to celebrate.

There are nine (that's 9 out of 12 scholarship players) freshmen and sophomores on our roster this year, plus two JUCO transfers who had never played a minute at the D-1 level. I'm not counting Osby, who is not even eligible, and the walk-on, Honore'. My point is, this is a young and inexperienced group of players who shouldn't be expected to exceed what last year's team should have accomplished but failed to do.

I went into this season with a desire to see changes in what I saw as one of the worst and most frustrating years in my memory as a Sooner basketball fan. So far, my expectations have been fulfilled. Would I like to see them shoot better and win the easier games on our schedule without the drama? Sure, who wouldn't. But if I continue to see improvements in the fundamentals that make basketball fun for me, I'll be happy.

I don't care if this team wins 10 games, 12 or 22, as long as they hustle, play with passion, work hard on defense, minimize their mistakes and restore the family atmosphere OU's program was known for. If you're a fan who wants to make yourself miserable with unreasonable expectations for a team that may not be able to deliver, knock yourself out! As for me, I plan to enjoy the ride and accept whatever the end of this season brings, good or bad.

:clap :clap :clap


I already love this team because at the end of the year there won't be one game lost due to lack of heart and hustle.

Bingo. I have already seen enough fight out of this team to let me know I wanna be a part of it.
