The whole this defense could be better then last years needs put to rest. The D is much better then they're currently playing. Will adjust

Hopefully, we will adjust, but yeah so far OU is making it look easy on the offensive end. Fortunately, we're also shooting really well so far

Akinjo and Flagler really look to have figured things out the past few games. Huge

If we switch to a zone to stop these cuts to the basket, does OU have great outside shooters?

Man, Akinjo is DAMN GOOD as a floor leader.
IowaBear

Akinjo has really come on as of late. Seems to becoming a locker room leader as well!

He's Butler, Mitchell and Teague all in one.

Totally impressed by multiple plays by Akinjo. I think he might be the best point guard in the Country, and yes, he too looks like a First Round pick to me.

Am I saying we may have 5 First Round picks playing for us, I am. Am I saying we are better than last year, I am.

Have we proven it yet, not yet.

If you're OU and you're shooting almost 70% from the floor, do you scratch your head or your nuts wondering how in the world you're TRAILING by double digits?
BUGWBBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Our Donut D. Plus their own screwups.
