He has really good size, and as you say, basketball instincts. This year he has to defer and come off of the bench, but a healthy Langston Love next season might be one of our best offensive weapons.

Has some Davion M in his game. Works hard and constantly part of the action.

It will be interesting to see how high Keyonte goes in the draft. If he slides out of the lottery, somebody is going to get a steal.

EJ's second game…there will be some needed adjustment to having him on the court, not just his own acclamation.

Has any team NOT shot > 50% against us from the field mainly because of wide-open baseline drives.

Sooners shooting 53% currently.

This league is absurd.

How about a poll.....what records wins, or ties, for first in the Big 12 this season?

I'll start it:

12-6 will win it outright. Two others at 11-7.

Most incredible thing I've ever seen. It's basically a 1, maybe 2 possession league with the final coming down to that.

I'll say this for George, he has NBA level body control. Can't teach that.

I had a feeling they would start winning some of those close games later in the year. Was glad we got the trip to Morgantown out of the way early AND won.

It's the basketball equivalent of football's holding in that you could basically call it on every possession. Seems to be enough opposition from coaches that it hopefully gets rescinded this summer.

Tanner Groves reminds me of the trees on HR Pufnstuf, with speed and agility to match.

Langston has really found his groove!!

The thing I like about Love, compared with our other guards, is that he can play a bit more physically than the others. If we can just keep him healthy!

Was thinking the same. Hurt?

Yeah, you can tell his hip or thigh is bothering him. Maybe both. If you watch him on D, he'll reach and rub the thigh frequently and you can see he's trying not to jump much on it.

I remember watching videos of Langston in his last year in high school. I think he was listed as a 4 star, but to my old, non-professional eyes, he looked like a 5 star. He had it all.

If he stays healthy, and really has a great summer, he could push for the skies next season.
