We just played the worst half of D I've seen in quite awhile and we're up by 9?

Absolutely awful defense on that last possession.

They just let him basically walk to the bucket for that easy layup... Their 13th of the entire first half... 13 layup/dunks...

Guys, open you ****ing eyes.

Offense is there, but holy crap.

I can't remember the last time sn opponent got to the rim as frequently and as easily as OU did in the first half. Drew has more than earned my respect as a coach that is able to adjust, particularly at halftime. We'll see what happens.

He addressed it before going to the locker room. I expect he's gonna light a match on some butts.

Yep. U-G-L-Y. I'm confident the Drew Crew will get it straightened out in the 2nd half.

I'm not sure what night it's gonna be, but some night all of Mayer's frustration is gonna come out and he's gonna go for 35.

Good grief. Why are we so suddenly careless with the ball?

3 fouls though so he best watch it. In fact they all need to settle down a bit with the goofy turnovers.

Passing is lazy as hell and defense looks as bad as it did in the first.

9-0 run due to the bears playing like lazy pieces of crap right now.

I honestly can't even comprehend what I'm seeing here.

They need to stop playing with their food and eat them up.

Apparently most looked for a 40 point blowout. I had a feeling we'd get a bit complacent, which no #1 team should ever do.

Akinjo playing out of his mind!

OU probably should be ranked. They have a couple iffy losses but they handily beat Florida and crushed Arkansas.

Lady Bears game vs TCU for tomorrow is postponed.
