Bubu would see 10+ minutes in this game. Whoops, wrong thread.
We are going to need to play better than we did in Norman to win tonight.

Nash was the best player on the floor last time we played, he's a tough matchup for us. I think Babb guarded him some last time, who else would be options...Ejim?
Thinking McGee might get extra minutes tonight on Page. Be a perfect matchup for Sledge if he could show the lockdown skills we heard about when he was being recruited.
Whoever guards Page needs to STAY ON THE FLOOR. Every time someone leaves their feet, Page shows up to jump into them.
Exactly. However, it was nice to see the refs go with a no call when he did that their last game.
Its hard to get the image of our last game with them out of my mind. Even so, I wonder if they can play that well again combined with us playing that poorly again. I think we will have a good shot to win it at the end.
Okie state is so thin right now that if Jurick is out or severely limited I really am starting to feel good about this game. Royce fouled him out in Ames while battling foul trouble himself. If Jurick can't go Okie State could be playing walk-ons much sooner than they wanted.
I'm interested to see what we do for defense on Paige and Nash. We haven't seemed to have much success when we switch to zone, but I wouldn't be surprised to see us try something like a 1-3-1 or even a box and 1 for a couple plays just to keep OSU from getting too comfortable offensively.
Paige does such a good job coming off screens (not to mention the screeners moving) that if he's shooting lights out again man-to-man just won't cut it.

Williams and Brown are tough match-ups too. Williams has been averaging over 14 points a game the past couple weeks, and Brown is a good, athletic play-maker. Going to need great team defense.
