[Cychl82]

Tonight was noticeably apparent how TJ definitely practices diving at loose balls etc without fouls to get turnovers or maintain possession

The way we D up, a 10 point deficit can be pretty much terminal for the other team.

I'm kind of upset. Predicted Tamin would hold the ball as time ran out, but TJ allowed CJones to do so.
Disappointing.
LOL!

Concerns.

Good to see this team has learned to find ways to win on off nights.

Ugly but glad for the easy end. That defense was just insane tonight.

I thought that at first. But realized we still won by double digits. Wow!

Not to be a downer after a solid win, but they’ve for to figure out a way to get Tamin right. I know he’s hurt but he’s in a serious lull

I feel like teams are pressuring him a lot harder than they were earlier.

Another tough win for @Darius Bieber and friends

Ok, I didn't watch but listened. Game recap: Demarion Watson, game, set, match? Am I right??

Yep, before he even started going off on the scoreboard, he was everywhere getting rebounds, tipping passes, playing excellent defense and basically anything you would need him to do.

My favorite single possession of the night was when all five of our guys were on the floor and it ended up with Robert Jones going to the free throw line. That pretty much sums up TJ ball.

Good riddance.

Ummm we blow our fair share of 10 point leads

 

[Cychl82]

46 points rapidly approaching

Well…they sniffed 46 lol

I have to say I appreciate OUs commitment to their game plan of dribbling directly into pressure and picking up their dribble. We guarded great but man did they look clueless. And to think Moser was one of the favorites for the job when TJ got it.

I thought the Cyclones did that a fair number of times too. Gota bunch of shots swatted, but that's ok.
I think Moser is a decent coach. I doubt he does any worse in the SEC than in the Big 12.

I said "can be". Like tonight, there was no way OU was going to come back from a 10 point deficit.

Feels like that improved a lot in the second half.

It would appear to me it’s an issue around the rim, which makes sense with an injury. He had so many tough, acrobatic finishes early in the year. Now he seems to want to pick up the ball 5-8 feet out.

 

[Cychl82]

A game so thankful for the win but to hit all cylinders need ward to play better and more consistent shooting from lipsey and Milan imo
