Being that we are a second half team, I think this might get real ugly for the gooners this half.

Great performance all around so far.

Doubt okie shoots like 11% in the second half but we are doing what good teams do to teams who aren't good. Very nice to see that.

Game of runs. Okie will have 1-2-3 of those. Just have to answer.

always helps when one of the best guards in the country is not playing (Woodard). We need to make this game very uninteresting in the 2nd half.

I'm surprised OU has not played Buford. He's very athletic.

and this Tech-ISU game is why I have ISU at 10-8 and Tech at 8-10... home court advantage, and Tech still learning how to win plus has a roster that has been pieced together as opposed to developed together.

Yes, a stress-free 2nd half sounds fantastic.

Al with 0 points has a 3 just miss, but BU retains position. nice to have an off game from Al and be up 20+

fantastic passing leads to a Motley and 1! he had turned down an open 3 to break the defense down and get it going... FT no good, 40-17 BU

OU gets a bucket, Al misses a corner 3, OU gets a transition layup. 40-21 17:45

Manu 3 in and out but Ish grabs it and scores... then a travel on OU, bye bye mini-run

Movement and passing of this team is the best it's ever been. Guys don't stand around and are rewarded because of it.

unselfish team. Motley needs to get his free throws right. He's on a bad streak.

Maston will be a liability down the stretch in key situations in key games.

Sadly, what I see is a young player out on the court that is still unsure of himself and the immediate effect is his soft & sloppy game. I don't see a player with a look in his eyes like he knows who he is and what he can/should do.

We will need him as the season goes along and I can only hope that he gets more of a edge to his game...more confidence.

highest IQ team we have had by far

Al should get in the scoring mix here as he draws a foul at the rim...

Fran giving Aaron Bruce a lot of love, basically calling him the most important player in the Drew era and the catalyst for the turnaround.

49-24 Baylor @ 14:48 media timeout
