OU game

[bierce]

And the Big East game is still going on. Surprise.

 

[bierce]

And the team with the 15 point lead is fouling with less than a minute to go. That will speed things up.

 

[bierce]

Lucas starting

 

[bierce]

OUshooting lights out to start. Crocker is 3-4 with 2 three pointers. Lucas just hits a three. OU up 10-7.

 

[bierce]

Crocker shooting over everyone so far, but hamilton on him now. Bradley out with 2 fouls. OU up 17-9. Not a good start.

 

[bierce]

Davis hits his first 3 three point attempts; OU their first five to move up to a 23-10 lead. Johnson with a mid-range jumper and then Pittman in close to narrow it to 23-14.

 

[TheBigLebowski]

I doubt they can keep up with the 3's. The team desperately needs this game, I think.

 

[bierce]

Unfortunately, most of those were wide open looks.

 

[TheBigLebowski]

Pittman & James showing something now.

 

[bierce]

Getting closer, now just down 5, but defense hasn't exactly improved with OU getting a layup and Texas missing a man under the basket who waits too long and lets Pittman come block. Then another Davis 3, off glass this time.

 

[Third Coast]

BK - "Hamilton has a real tendency to forget there are four other guys in white uniforms out there."

 

[bierce]

Then Musburger tried to make jokes about how a shooter has to act that way. I think Knight wanted to smack him.

 

[HornsForever'93]

Good to See COLT!!!!

 

[TheBigLebowski]

Yes, OU misses a 3 finally.

 

[bierce]

Brown starting to make fancy but stupid passes. He has to stop that.

 

[TheBigLebowski]

Nice Hamilton 3!

 

[bierce]

Brown lets Mason-Griffin go right by him, Hamilton has to slide over, leaving Crocker, who gets the pass, Hamilton goes out and fouls Crocker who hits 3 free throws. Brown and Hamilton as a two man defensive crew.

 

[bierce]

Things starting to get a little better. Texas dominating on the boards after the first couple of minutes. OU still getting open looks when Brown is slow following or staying with his man, but at least they aren't rainingtotally uncontested threes anymore.

Pittman looks alive. So does James. I think they are appreciating this is their last home game.

 

[Third Coast]

almost every pass is an adventure with this team.

 

[TheBigLebowski]

Yep. Pittman & James want this. The freshmen aren't totally there yet.

 

[bierce]

Well, it could certainly be a lot worse, but that was a disappointing end to the half, having Brown hit a three for the tie, then watch him bob his head like a fool, have Texas lose a man under the basket and nearly give up a layup, but have him fumble the ball and get a turnover, only to go down 4 on 5 (Pittman still on the floor) and have Brown jack up crap, then OU come down, miss, get offensive rebound, kill the clock, miss, get offensive rebound and score. Horrible last 45 seconds.

 

[TheBigLebowski]

Geez, what happened during halftime? Not looking good now.

 

[bierce]

Hamilton with a nice pass to Johnson for Texas's first fg in the second half, then the three to cut the lead to 6. Crocker turns ankle?

 

[TheBigLebowski]

They seem to have weather OU's run. Down by only 3 now.

 

[Third Coast]

That was a hell of a block on Johnson by the OU player. I think it was Gallon?

 

[GabeRocksSocks]

I think it's my fault guys. I set my facebook status to "AND OU STILL SUCKS" at half time.

 

[wadster]

I just can't imagine what Barnes is thinking over there on the bench. Guys just jack up 3 after 3 with no ball movement. End of the year and these guys haven't learned a thing. It's disgusting to think about losing to OU 2x. No pride at all.

This is OU and these guys just don't get it at all. Maybe we need some more Texas boys in here that understand what playing OU means. Good grief.

 

[Third Coast]

I have to agree with Knight. This Texas team makes a lot of poor decisions.

 

[wadster]

3 shots at the rim. yes.

 

[bierce]

Two nice lobs. One from Brown to Hamilton. Second from James to Pittman. Tie game. Texas starting to hustle.
