Going to have to feed the post a lot and make Manek guard down there. The problem will be if our guards can actually get it to the big guys. Oklahoma will likely pressure out to the half court line like everyone has been lately because we aren't very strong with the ball.

Will be interesting to see who guards Manek. He shoots the three - pretty well actually - and so someone needs to run him off that line.

He tends to shoot well against us too (not surprising). I wonder if we put T-Lew on him? Before you all start laughing too hard, Lewis is long and athletic, and can match up physically with Manek. Might actually work. Otherwise I'm not sure, our guards are all too small and Solo won't come out to the 3 point line. Jacobson could possibly be the answer here too.

Just going to enjoy the ride from here.

Just want to see good things from the guys returning for next year.

No doubt. Win or lose I'm just hoping to see some good growth from the guys who are expected to be here next year. The experience they get now whether they're ready or not will be good for them in the long run.

It will be interesting to see if we tun our offense any different than we have. Be nice to see some entry passes to Young and Conditt. Hoping our defense keeps us in the game.

Remember the last time we went into Norman missing an important starter?

Except one starter was toxic to the team and played like they were high and they were the most important thing in their final ISU game, and one is the face of the program for all the right reasons and played like ISU was the most important thing in their final game.

Anyone listening to pregame on the radio? Heft sounds like he swallowed a dung beetle
