Man how do you let him drive the length of the court and get his feet set for a pull up 3. Just lazy end of half defense

I can't remember seeing him and he's not showing on the boxscore.

There was a guy in his face creating a legit contested shot. Sometimes they make it. Nothing else you can reasonably do about that

Bridges…layups…WT?

I don't know why I torture myself, but before our games I usually watch a few minutes of the Natty and a few minutes of the game against Nova last year in Waco. The striking difference between those two and this team is how slowly we react on transition D. It's like a different world of speed and quickness of the former vs the latter.

Yup nobody picked up the dribbler until he was already across mid court. Don't care if he had a guy in his face it was lazy end of half defense

As well as he's been playing he's probably overdue for an off game, but Bridges looked a lot like his non-con self in the first half. Hopefully the 2nd half will be different.
DanaDane

38 of our 41 points have come from the 4 guards.

3 from the combo of JTT, Thamba, Bridges and Lohner.

Bears up by 6 at the half. I'll take it!

JTT apparently getting all of his minutes in the 1st half.

Yep. Drew has always loved the 8 man rotation as a season ages. With the return of JTT and the continued emergence of Love, not sure how often we'll see Josh O and Bonner, outside of foul trouble or maybe a special matchup reason.

Hope Josh O is ok.

Some slop in that first half. EJ should only have 2 fouls tho. Unless OU goes on a huge run bears should be fine to write a W

"I hope" -Red

"Apply yourself" -W.White

"Guys, who is Keyser Soze?" - K. Soze

No LJ?

Have no inside info but gut tells me: 1) Drew has started the tightening of the rotation; and, 2) Don't really need Josh O's height in this game. Probably need more speed than height against these guys. Just a guess though.
DanaDane

Maybe Drew's going with the hot hand in Love instead? Nothing looks wrong with LJ on the bench. Thank goodness.

KG so much better driving rather than forcing 3s.
DanaDane

Looks like I was wrong. Cryer is hurt.

Good points - I thought maybe Josh O might come in when JTT picked up his third foul.

Leg irritation the tv guy said.

Cryer is hurt again??? And what's leg irritation? That's a new one

LJ's issue last year was foot pain, right?

Moser's teams from Loyola to OU have always been similar to Hugg's style. Muck it up. Make it ugly. Try to sneak in the win late.

Only shooting 27% from behind the arc - we're getting some open looks, just need to start hitting them!

The fall of Tech continues. Thought they might sneak one out since Ok State didn't have Anderson.

I think "leg irritation" is code for, "none of your business".

Yep. With Cryer injured, he became next man up!
