Positives
- Defense was really good, nothing came easy for OU. 25 turnovers and held OU to 0.77 points per possession.
- Timely shot making from Akinjo, Mayer, Flagler and Cryer in the second half.
- Thamba and Brown were terrific with activity on both ends and especially the glass (18 rebounds between them).
- Active hands, wingspan matters... the Bears gathered 16 steals.
- Made free throws. 15-19 from the line and 2 of those misses came from Flagler. Great to see Kendall Brown go 6-6 from the charity stripe.
Needs Work
- Prayers up for Akinjo’s tailbone. He reaggravated his injury on a layup that should have been an and one. I thought he played well although his shooting was off. 4 steals, 4 assists and only 1 turnover.
- Love Dale Bonner’s future and I’m sure this will be a coachable point but if you turn it over, don't sulk. Bust your butt to get back on defense and make up for your mistake. He had a bad 10 seconds.
- Too many turnovers (17), but overall very impressed with this 2 game road stand. Beat KSU.
