He will get away with it in the NBA

Is he good enough to get away with it in the NBA?
James Harden will go 15 feet through the air at the beginning of that shove, and he's not alone. Those guys know how to draw attention to that stuff.

So glad Young's offensive fouls are being called. Dude has done that on every single drive, all year long.

I’m pulling for the Big 12, but this is like KU having to play without the confirmation bias they enjoy in conference play.

Anyone got Oklahoma over URI?

I ended up trusting in the strength of the B12 (typically a bad move) and picked every B12 team in the first round except KSU...

OU playing better so far than I expected.

Tennessee has the physical tools for a deep run (they remind me of S. Carolina's final 4 squad), we'll see how Barnes coaches em up.

 

[rholtgraves]

All OU has to do is go into half close without Young. Young has had some big second halves this year. I expect another one today.

 

[rholtgraves]

OU shooting poorly and still up. only 3-7 from the free throw line and shooting below 30% from 3.

 

[Clonehomer]

The Rhode Island acting is ridiculous. Hope the refs review some of those during the half and let those go.

 

[Chizit]

I wasn't that upset about missing the tournament until watching these first games.

Agreed, they are flopping like fish on the deck.

 

[Clonehomer]

Anyone sick of U2 yet? They can drop that already.

 

[IASTATE07]

Pretty sad I forgot the tournament even started today.

 

[cycophagus]

McNeace is infly swatter more for OU today. He had a goal tend, but why not go after everything and let the refs sort it out?

 

[cycophagus]

Out of the coaching box "warning" for th R.I. coach. Who do they think he is? Bill Self?

 

[stormchaser2014]

Couple of quick 3's there and RI is up 5.

 

[The_Architect]

That Rhode Island 6 point sequence was incredible!

 

[ClonesTwentyOne]

Oklahoma definitely does not deserve to be there. They are going to suck really bad next year.

 

[ArgentCy]

RI playing a lot better than they have lately. You make those 3's and that makes up for a lot of size. Young still an idiot and if they stop going inside they will lose.

 

[madguy30]

My stream shows RI up by 5. Good deal. Hope they keep it up and shut down Trae Young to make a point.

 

[NoCreativity]

Rhode Island would be up 10 if they could finish inside. Ive seen Oklahoma play many times and didnt really think they were intimidating in the paint on defense.

Like that strange missed dunk? What happened there?
