I’ll take a five-point halftime lead after that clown party

A 5 point half time lead in conference is awesome.

 

[enisthemenace]

Most frenetic half is “basketball” I’ve seen in quite some time. Woof. No clue how we lead by 5.

 

[jaj040]

Nobody wanted to get down court with 5 seconds?

 

[jcf817]

Women in a rock fight too.

 

[I-stateTheTruth]

Buddy Hield probably scored 20 against in a half at some point.

Time for some eye drops; that half made my eyes burn.

Great finish to the half. No complaints about the team's effort.

 

[cyclones500]

Started 5-of-27 from the field (or whatever it was), lots of foul trouble, looked like crud for numerous stretches -- and ahead at half. Heh!

 

[Cyclonepride]

Great finish to the half. My main wish going into the last 4 minutes was to see the ball go through the hoop a couple times, and we did that.

Shooting that poorly and still leading at the half is a great sign

 

[CydeofFries]

If there was a time for Gilbert to drive mindlessly at the rim, those last 5 seconds were it

 

[abcguyks]

That seemed like a really fast 30 seconds.

Clock showed 19:32 after the 30 second clock expired

 

[NorthCyd]

Good god that was a slog. If we can find just a little rhythm on offense I think we can blow this game wide open.

 

[CapnCy]

I guess the fact we held them to 20 is great....glad we shook some rust off at the end there. That Jones 3 would have been real nice.

I feel OU will get a T...they seem frustrated and I can see it bubbling

 

[HFCS]

OU is either the dirtiest team we’ve played all year or the least coordinated. I really cannot tell.

 

[simply1]

I’ll predict we win the second half 35-32

 

[CycloneVet]

Hilton sounded REALLY f'n loud on TV for a run there (especially for a Wed night)

Crowd is awake now

 

[Cyclonepride]

Otzelball baby.

You just keep plugging and competing no matter what.

I absolutely LOVE that about Otz’s team. No hanging the heads, no complaining, just go back to the other end and go to work.

 

[CapnCy]

Hope the can shake off the mental shooting slump for the second half and also for the FT line as they will be valuable

 

[cyclonez7]

A lot of bad offense that half.

 

[Cyched]

Flipped over to women's game - up 7 with 5 to play!

 

[cal-cyclone]

That was an ugly half, but a great 9 -0 run at the end of the half. Huge end to the half for us. Got our confidence back a bit, and the crowd was roaring.

 

[trevn]

Good news: OU only scored 20

Bad news: we have 25

With that defensive performance we should be up 15+. Offense has to be better in the second half.
