Game Thread: Okla. St. @ Texas

[TheGallopinGoose]

11-8 Texas with 14:00 left in the 1st half.

 

[TheGallopinGoose]

Texas is on an 11-2 run right now.

 

[Third Coast]

Defense!

 

[TheGallopinGoose]

Texas should drive inside more to take advantage of OSU's foul trouble.

 

[Third Coast]

pretty damn sloppy at both ends.

 

[MP5]

5 straight turnovers????

 

[The Greatest]

watching us go from playing like a top 5 team to playing like a top 55 team right before the tourney sure is depressing. none of the contributions on offense we were getting from guys like james and atchley and johnson and the TO's are starting to show up more than they ever did when we were leading the nation in fewest turnovers.


we'll be lucky to make the 2nd weekend.

Man I'm starting to get worried... It's great to keep winning games, but at this point, I'm more concerned about are we improving after each game? I can't say we are based on recent play. It seems we're going back to the DJ/AJ show months ago while everyone else doesn't get involved. If any one of those has an off-shooting night, we're in deep ****.

Hopefully it's just us running into solid defensive teams in NU/OSU. As long as we see the February team in the Big Dance, I'm happy.

 

[BrothaHorn]

What is the deal w/ Pittman? Is his weight an issue still(two years later), bad attitude or what? I think there are certain times when the outside shots are not falling that he could come in and maybe pound the other team inside, pick up a cheap foul or two. Maybe even score a basket. I realize the when GJ comes in the low post becomes and option, but couldn't DP bring the same, w/ a lil more height?

 

[Third Coast]

Good grief.

 

[KingBobo81]

Ugh....I realize AJ can't be on every game, but this one is ugly.

 

[DJDJAJGJ]

I guess we're going to keep running plays for AJ regardless of his shooting %. I wish we could run some other plays and get higher % shots. Maybe like a pick and roll or two.

I hate that AJ has taken 13 shots, while Connor, James, and Johnson have 12 shots attempted COMBINED. What happened to our offensive balance?

 

[Horn69]

we're being outhustled. arrrrrgh.

Hook'em!!!

 

[DJDJAJGJ]

Wow Connor is embarrassing himself. Missed front end of 1 and 1, and then blows a layup, which leads to an OSU three in transition. Just pitiful.

 

[Third Coast]

Atchley can't even hit a one foot shot on two attempts.

 

[bierce]

Ugly or not. . .

CONFERENCE CHAMPS

 

[Third Coast]

Great effort by James. Dominated the boards and some clutch FT's down the stretch.

 

[DJDJAJGJ]

Well I'll gladly take the win and the #1 seed.

We will play the winner of #8 Tech and #9 OSU. I'm thinking it'll be a rematch of todays game in the 2nd round, and I'm not excited about that.

But the #1 seed is critical since it ensure we play KU or KSU but not both in Kansas City.

And oh yeah... BIG XII CONFERENCE CHAMPS!

 

[MP5]

Im happy to pull that one out! Jeeze I thought we were rolling a few weeks ago. Hopefully we can peak end of March for once

 

[wadster]

If we don't make stupid turnovers out front giving away easy baskets, we win this one pretty easily.

 

[CraigHorn]

yup.

wasn't pretty but was nice end to a really good regular season.

time to step it up

 

[Horn69]

There should not be one fan bitching about the officiating. Seems like every call, and no-calls, went our way.

Hook'em!!!

 

[Fievel121]

I'll take an ugly win anyday

BIG XII CHAMPS!!!!

 

[TomTerrific]

Good job fellas.

Get ready to play these guys again in about 5 days.

It wasn't the prettiest win in the world, but I'll take it, and the #1 seed that comes with it.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

BIG XII CHAMPS!!

Now to find the peak that would carry through to the Final Four...today was not that peak...
