Are we the Home team?

Brown is so lost on defense it's not even funny. Good grief.

Really really bad defense

The gym guy from OU is beating our studs...

Good grief is right.

I stopped counting the layup/dunk cuts at 19 for the sooners... This defense is a ****ing joke.
Jack Bauer

Akinjo with 21

OU still getting to the rim virtually at will. Really thought we would adjust at halftime.

Another ghost foul where OU is allowed to forearm and shove our defenders to the ground and it's a block.
Jack Bauer

63-55 under 8

Defense virtually nonexistent. One pass, one move, someone with a wide open look at the basket.

Don't know what's going on but he's been pretty much a non-factor on both ends tonight.

Before someone comes running in here to tell me how we are really playing good defense, it's just that OU's offense is so efficient -- they are #61 in KenPom offense.

Yeah. Hence the concern

That charge call on Flagler was garbage
Jack Bauer

JTT!

Apparently Flagler can bump a guy like normal and it's a bull**** offensive foul, but ohh man if OU runs into us and throws us to the ****ing ground it's a 100% Baylor foul... These refs are OU all the way.

Brown 1-2 from the field, 2 points, 1 board, 2 TOs and 3 fouls.
Defense: non-existent
Jack Bauer

Flagler with the put back!
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah, I'm not feeling that charging call on Flagler. If that's the case then there should have been several on the other end.
CHP Bear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Needed that
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I mean, OU's thrown up 5 bricks from the outside but we continue in man to man that let's them run easily in for layups. WTH?
Jack Bauer
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Just lack of hustle
tomiathon
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Could we stop letting guys go the length of the baseline at will, at some point?
CaliByWayOfKS
How long do you want to ignore this user?
These refs have no idea how to call a game at all. OU had the ability to be infinitely more physical and constant charges called as blocks.
IowaBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
10 TOs… this half… yikes
BUGWBBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Now they can't even complete a damn pass.
CaliByWayOfKS
How long do you want to ignore this user?
The lazy ass ball handling and passing by guards not named Akinjo is inexcusable.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Get Cryer out of the damn game
Jack Bauer

Flagler busting his butt
CHP Bear

We're going to lose poll votes next week.

71-63 under 4

OU at the line

Quick whistles on the bears all half

Good grief

I really don't know whether Flagler or Akinjo is player of the game tonight, they've both been super
