Davion was one of the few players who could do that. He also tried that at the end of the half vs Gonzaga and sailed an air ball leading to a bucket by the Zags and closed the game to 10 when it should been around 16 or so.

He's been like this since becoming a starter. No one knows but first off the bench he could knock them down. Its a different mentality to start vs be the 6th man which could be the reason.
DanaDane

MUCH different vibe on both ends of the court to start the 2nd half.

LET'S GO BEARS!!!!!!!!

Turned off sound first half, giving it another listen. Hey Lance, not everyone tuned in to the game are oU fans.

Loving this ball movement.

So far one huge difference between this game and when we played them in Waco is OU is not getting to the rim virtually at will.
historian

Cryer should have made that

Is he the one that always seems to chuckle a bit whenever he talks for more than a few words? It's a weird verbal tic.

Another easy bucket missed

As I said after that game, everyone in the Big 12 will adjust to those basic cuts the 2nd time around and OU would end up with a losing record in the 2nd half of the conference

Yep. Whorn.

Lance Blanks sucks!

That is all….
DanaDane

Akinjo's not doing much on the scoring side but he's distributing the ball really well (4 assists; 0 TO's) and it's different world with him on D compared to some of the other guards. He's causing OU ballhandlers fits when they have the ball. 4 steals so far.
ImABearToo

He ought a just be full time on LHN. Preach to the choir over there. Texas sucks!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice to see the Bears playing better, although still too many mistakes.
Louise Romano
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yes, I like how are defending the rim much better now. When I watch I rarely watch the ball. I watch the off ball defense a lot bc I want to see how the switching and spacing is playing out. We have really good positioning this half...so far.

Everyday Jon!!

Good way to end up in the hospital getting your stomach pumped is taking a shot whenever he chuckles during a sentence.
historian

He was trying to draw the foul traveled instead
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Oh man. KB was FEELIN" that slam when he saw the wide open shot before the hand slap.
historian
How long do you want to ignore this user?
We still need more from KB
OldDominionBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Oh man, what I wouldn't give to see KB, Sochan, Love, Cryer, and Keyonte all on the floor together. At least I can always imagine how awesome it would be.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Flo never developed into an offensive threat but over 4 years he became REALLY good at learning how to block out on the defensive end.
OldDominionBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
If he was able to redshirt he might've been able to.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Always wanted to see him develop some type of sky hook. With his wide body I believe he would have been difficult to guard if he would have.
historian

MM needs to be careful. Too many fouls!!
