Keep forcing Ok State to shoot from the outside. Their offensive efficiency drop 3 fold when forced to shoot outside.

Friggin' Higgins.

Lovin the D so far. Keep it up Bears!!!!!!

Flagler has got to at least get around Boone a little bit on that so it's not an easy dump off. Not a full front.

FWIW: 1 more point and OkSt men will match the OkSt women's first half point total yesterday.

Dear Bears: Stop trying to make Flo an active part of the offense. Be selfish. Take the shot instead. We have a better chance to score.
jdrs

Need offensive rebounds

Yeah… if it's not an open dunk, it's not happening. Flo does his best work on the off glass

3 bad misses for MM. iron clankers.

MM just waved for a sub. Doesn't look hurt.

Particularly tonight. Even on a dunk. OK bigs are taller, leaning and more athletic than Flo. He's not gonna get off a shot they can't block.

1-6 from 3. Hope that doesn't persist

4 off rebounds for OK lite…

Why does MM settle for so many 3's in the first half of most games?
vanillabryce
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yep, Flo tends to play straight up and down, and isn't able to use his backside to seal. Example was when he had inside position on Cisse and still got his shot blocked.
DanaDane

Rotations and backside support on D have been so much better so far in the 1st half than they were in Waco against these guys. Coaching staff corrected a lot of things from that first game.

We're not a great 3 point shooting team. That's not new news. Granted we're much better with a healthy Cryer, Flagler from deep
Johnny Bear

2 point game.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Sochan's court vision is so friggin' good. 100% credit to him on the Flo dunk.
vanillabryce
How long do you want to ignore this user?
We're also not a 17% 3pt shooting team
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
YEAH BABY! That's what we need. Flag to get hot from the outside.

Akinjos passing is either all world or terrible, nothing in between.

What's perplexing to me is that he's been forcing it to Flo, in a situation where Flo would t be able to make a play.

Johnny Bear

I hope the fact that we should be up by at least about 15 right now doesn't come back to haunt us.

Akinjo is NOT elite. Only the Dr. Pepper drunks would think so. Next......
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I know I'm stating the obvious, but we really need Cryer. It takes so much pressure off Akinjo, who then doesn't try to overdo it so much. He, Flagler and Cryer can zip it around the perimter.

I swear we average 5 turnovers a game trying to make passes to Flo when he's not an offensive threat at all.
