Sooners outrebounding the Bears 10-6.

They need to move him back to the first off the bench. His personality and play style are much more suited to being the 6th man.

Muting sound. Blanks is a jerk.

KB got that shot off. It should be good.

Fingertips aren't part of the hand. Got it!

Lol *** did KB forget to file his nails down before the game?! What a joke from the officials.

I say it every game but it's true. If the man's feet are set, he's automatic. If he's the least bit off balance, he misses.

OU defense is aggressive

We need to overcome that

If they were part of the hand then they would be called handtips instead of fingertips. Duh.

Is it just me or for the past few games has it appeared Flagler is just really rushing his shots? He's been off since the TCU game, right?

Need to make more of those 3s

Thank you. Needed that correction.

This game is just a bunch of bad shooting.

OU is trying to stop our weave the way we did last yr by forcing the ball to one side. So the guys have to penetrate into the lane. OU knows we are not a good post team so they will take their chances with the penetration. Only one answer: GET BETTER IN THE POST !!! Been saying this all year.

With the way our D has played so far and with the way OU is turning it over, we should easily have a double digit lead right now. Frustrating.

We can't stop runs anymore... pathetic..
DanaDane

Bears 2-12 from 3 (18%) and shooting only 32% from the field, but lead by 2, 15-13


Bears much better handling the ball so far with only 3 TO's in the first half.

He shot 50% from the field and 5-9 from 3 vs TTU.

He started shooting bad when Akinjo first got hurt vs OKST.
Johnny Bear

And bingo - the lead is gone

another turnover

and now they have the lead

Yes, right

He was 1-10 from the field and 1-4 against Ok St
and then he ws 5-13 and 2-7 against WVU

Now down 4. Really all on account of missing open shots left and right.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Bears shooting 27% from the floor

Akinjo, Flagler and Mayer are a combined 1-13.

This team is Uber talented but they play just head scratching stretches of basketball. This is poor basketball no other way to spin it

19-5 run by OU
IowaBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Seems to be the case more often then not
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
So we've been outscored 19-5 over the past 10 minutes.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Ok, Flagler get a drive to the basket to fall. Hopefully it gets him going.
Johnny Bear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
OU -11 TOs & counting.. And They have the lead.
IowaBear

Mayer's 0-5 from 3 . How about trying to get to the rim? Or posting up? He's 6'9 and hangs out 30 feet away from the hoop
