We gave up 100 points to Houston. We won't make the NIT playing this brand of Basketball. The OU D is terrible we won't beat anyone with this D.
In my opinion, we have a bunch of Freshmen learning the difference between AAU ball and division 1 basketball. Our upper classmen aren't being affective leaders to help the trasition either. Hopefully they learn to play together as a team on both sides of the ball before too much of the season is lost.

No coaching. Absolutely none. This would have never happened under Sampson or Tubbs. Both are undefeated with the same team and the same schedule. Jeff Capel better figure out what his team's identity is going to be or he is not going to last at OU.
The Sooners' loss was their third straight. The last time OU lost three straight non-conference games was during the 1995-96 season (began 1-3 under Kelvin Sampson).
Adjusting to Division 1, should still be no excuse for not blocking out, AT ALL, ever.
Agreed.
Some of us said long before the season started that defense, along with rebounding, were our biggest concerns. There were too many new faces to expect this team to be good defensively right out of the gate. I think they will in time, but it's going to take a lot of work.
I don't understand this comment. Defense is easy to play if D is important in a program. Clearly playing shut down D has not been part of the gameplan.
If you don't guard you don't play thats what my play book said. We didn't care about hitting 41 3's.
This D style resulted in double digits losses to VCU, San Diego and Houston? Not everyone on the roster is a freshman this has the potential to get really ugly.
I just hope the weakest link isn't the coach. This team should play better defense. Defense really hasn't been a strength in the last 3 years. There are lots of ways to play defense. It doesn't have to be hard nosed man to man like Sampson did or trapping, pressure like Tubbs did but you have to have an identity.
