Weekly Polls Thread Week 8

[BoulderSooner]

So your view of basketball is that a player's worth is based solely on shooting numbers? So if a guy gets 15 boards, blocks three shots, plays great defense, passes the ball well, but goes 1-6, he had a bad game? I guess Sam has cracked the code -- just never attempt a shot that isn't a dunk or layup, and you're automatically a stud.

you are conflating a single game .. with a season worth of stats ..

but using your comparison ..

what is that player went 1-15 .. with those stats .. still a good game ??

 

[One More Rebound]

What happened?

Also on3 (fwiw) has OU ranked 15th. Yay!

He is going to be a correspondent for Arkansas basketball. It's all very strange.

Nah probably just paid more. A recent poll had Arkie thought of as the #1 bball school for NIL.

I'd say yes, or at least, better than a guy who plays 15-20 minutes and puts up no points, a couple rebounds, and commits 3 or 4 fouls. If you defend, rebound, and distribute, you are helping your team in a ton of ways.

But again, the bigger point is, seven games is a small sample to judge shooting numbers. Even great shooters have terrible 7-game stretches. The fact that he was attempting so many 3s makes me think he has shown himself to be at least an average shooter -- his coach isn't an idiot, and wouldn't allow him to shoot that many 3s if he had the outside shot of, say, Godwin or KJ Adams.

Not strange. He lives there. Can make games and practices

I used to lurk here quite a bit and post a bit but it's tough these days with WichitaSooner. Everything is an argument and doom and gloom. Can't believe we are from the same city. Oh well. BOOMER!

come around. use the ignore feature.

come around. use the ignore feature.

Ignore works very well. Derangement Syndrome is alive and well in politics and religion but you hate to see it on a sports board.

Take coach’s advice, you won’t regret it (& fwiw, I’m from Wichita myself).

 

[TSSR]

come around. use the ignore feature.

It's weird but I think he keeps the Forum even keel with not too much positive pumping. You always need a bit of yang with some yin.

Don’t let the scare you off. This board needs more real fans like you. She’s just sour cause the Jayhawks sux this year.

 

[snydrosooner]

excited we are 13th. Now we got OSU and big blue Michigan to prove it.

It’s especially funny that our illiterate, chauvinistic bigot is so clueless that he is responding to posts that are days/weeks old as if they are new.

 

[WichitaSooner]

Providence won at DePaul tonight. Not particularly sexy, but helpful.

OU moved down to 14th, but I think the a voter in the AP poll messed up. OSU has 16 points in the poll and if those were meant to go to OU, we'd be 13.

I think we can call this a fact .. that voter put OKstate at 10 instead of OU at 10
