LZIp Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 OU played hard, but I don’t think we played well at all as a team. With that said, still beat the spread. really does feel like we’re in a class of our own this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 Meant to post this after Reghi said it at the end of the game: OU never led. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't the prettiest win but I'm not giving it back! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippy87 Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 A few thoughts: - Ugly game. I was really hoping we'd put them away early and never look back but we kept letting them hang around. - Thornton only played 4 more minutes than Tavari. He's also pretty clearly behind Scott at this point. Just doesn't do enough on the offensive end. - Tribble has ended up with 4+ fouls in 4 of the last 6 games. - Hunter is trigger-shy from 3. Passed up a bunch of open looks tonight. I feel silly nitpicking with a 7-0 MAC team, but I think that record is more reflective of the league than it is this team. We have a long, long way to go if we want to win the MAC Tournament and have a shot at a March Madness win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalZIP Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 Great, gritty team win. Never really let them get too close for comfort. Jaylin Hunter for OU has Brett McClanahan syndrome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaylin Hunter for OU has Brett McClanahan syndrome. Outside of a couple of games, Hunter has struggled big time from the arc. Last year's 3-point percentage from him seems to have been an anomaly. At least to this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When doubleteamed Freeman has started to pass to the open man, but too many times our guards and even Ali and Hunter pass up open shots. We ne3d someone to man up and hit some shots-doesn't have to be a 3 pointer. Oh how this team could use a good shooting guard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of stagnation and standing still watching and waiting for him to do something. I'm sure Groce will adjust as we go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe with a shooting guard they would he undefeated in league play. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
