I have come to the realization that this season is going to be filled with "great performances" from individuals and not many wins. Its the classic sign of a bad team. Every game we are going to have someone score 25, but OU is losing. They aren't a good team right now.
As for the double-standard... I think its different when you have a 50% 3pt shooter and the future of your program (and I think TMG is the future of the program) taking a lot of shots and learning how to play as opposed to Willie (a 25% 3pt shooter) taking a bunch of shots and playing selfish basketball because he is gone after this year. I point out the 3pt percentages because if they are going to take a lot of shots from perimeter I think its better if TMG is that guy, and not Willie.
Also, TMG didn't cost OU the game last night... When Willie has 7 or 8 turnovers, goes 0-5, 0-6, etc from the 3pt line, doesnt get back on defense, etc people get after him, and they should.
Willie isn't the future of the program, he is an outstanding talent but he will not leave much of a legacy at OU (unless he puts the team on his back and carries them on improbable run here at the end of the year). His first year will be overshadowed because of Blake Griffin, and his second year will be overshadowed by a bad team. It sucks for Willie, but that is his legacy.
