Actually I think we are a lot better than OU, defensive Gameplan was awful for the first half.

Defense?! Hell, our problem is we suck at shooting from the perimeter! I guess it doesn't bother anybody that our best 3 pt shooter is our CENTER!!! Got to be kidding me.

Of course I'm happy with the win, that's probably why I said I was.

But I'm looking to the future and the potential that this team has this year to make some noise in the tourney. And if they want to do that, then they need to clean some things up, that's all.

I said it was a great win against a very good OU team. But it's already time to move on from that. If you are content with sloppy play down the stretch, then so be it, but I'm not, and I'm sure Fred probably isn't either.

Taking shots with 3-4 opponents surrounding you is trend in need of correcting. Especially when there is a guard open for a three. Saw that happen on more than one occasion. Too much 1 on 1 on offense once in a while. Swing the ball around the perimeter, flex the defense and take advantage of the gaps.

As far as 3 point shooting goes, as long as the team is at 35% or higher, I see little problem with that phase of the game unless it's early in the shot clock and not on the break.

Actually, Naz Long leads the team in 3 pt shooting percentage. Last time I checked, he was a guard. Monte Morris is number 2 on the list, also a guard. Melvin Ejim is number 3 on the list, he's not our center. DeAndre Kane is number 4 on the list, another guard. Matt Thomas is number 5, look another guard. Dustin Hogue is 6th on the list, he's not our center. Finally, we reach George Niang on the list at number 7. He's our "center".

Does it suck being wrong all of the time? Or being a crybaby all of the time?
