Who starts this game for the Sooners?

[BigTime]

I've got to think that Lon will stick with Grooms against their salty perimeter defense.

I'll go

Sammy G
Hield
Pledger
Osby
M'Baye

I do hope that Hornbeak is given a chance to play the point with Hield and Pledger though.

I also hope that Tyler Neal stays with the 3 band...

I don't think you'll see Hield start for Hornbeak, but I could be wrong.

I do agree that Hornbeak should see the backup pg minutes though. The thought of Cousins, on this stage, against good defenders, scares me some.

I think you'll have:

Grooms
Hornbeak
Pledger
M'Baye
Osby

First sub will be Hield in for Hornbeak, and Fitzgerald in for M'Baye.

Then Hornbeak will come in for Grooms, M'Baye for Osby, Cousins for Pledger, Clark for Hield, etc.

I do think when Cousins is in we will likely always have Grooms or Hornbeak on the floor as well. Cousins, Pledger, Clark is likely not a lineup we will ever see.

The same starting lineup as recently. Grooms and Pledger on a short leash. Cousins and Buddy in early.

 

[StatGeek]

I definitely think the lineup will be the same as what we have done since Buddy's return, and I'm sure Cousins will see some PT.

 

[soonerhoops2012]

Pledger will get the start, but if he starts 0-5 again he needs to sit the bench. He doesn't do this team much good unless he is on fire.

 

[Cleavon Little]

You know Cousins had a little stretch where he looked pretty decent - this would be a nice time for that to return.

Needs to channel his inner Alex Spaulding
