Why is Spangler in there???

[BigTime]

Complete non-issue.

How is it a non issue? The guy has clearly wore down the last 2 years during stretch runs. Rest him...

Glad he stayed in as long as he did as our reserves were giving up the lead REAL fast

So leave Buddy and Isaiah in then...

Or put Buford/Lattin back in for him.

The worn down argument is a joke, he didn't wear down, he went up against better competition and teams that have our team scouted properly, thus productivity dipped, is that so hard for people to understand/accept?

Very. OU has played great non conference opponents the past few years that Spangler has put up numbers against.

There is no reason to play him as many minutes tonight after it was clear the game was over.

He has even said he has gotten "dead legs."

I disagree with the staff on this one which doesn't happen too often!

As for today, yeah they could have taken him out earlier. But the fact that they didn't should tell you/us something IMO.
