Fouls are like 20 - 8 against us and we are up 22

I like Fran but I'm so tired of hearing him say Maston has 'old man' game or old guy at the Y game.

The guy is incredibly skilled with both hands.

Not everything has to be kitschy or whatever. He's just freaking good.

OU cut it to 15 and pulled Young for a breather, we immediately pushed it back up to 27.

This should get us in. You figure the blowout wins partnered with those close road losses (OU, KU and WVU) and injuries, it should be like we have 1-2 extra wins based on the eye test. Would be very comfortable with one more though. 14 losses is just a little too scary for me.

Think they're on the 10/11 line right now. Avoid Dayton.

Ive seen matador's capes put up more resistance on defense than OU. It's like watching the late 80s Denver Nuggets.

Announcers are dogging Young's teammates like they're trash. They don't force him to take 4 30 footers every night. They don't force him to throw the ball at their feet or out of bounds. Ever seen Trae Young take a charge? Hell no.

How deflating is it for a post guy to work hard to establish position for the pg to jack up long threes?
