He's just a good shooter. And he's playing with so much more confidence right now than he was early in the year.

I'm very happy to admit that I was wrong about Jayden Nunn. He's grown into the difference-maker we need him to be.

These refs are trying to give the Iowa State game refs a run for their money.

Jalen Bridges is secretly planning an outstanding defensive game.
historian

Great defense in that position

The extra team effort on defense has been noticeable the last few games. Good example… Bridges hustling down for that help side block.

I think edwards maybe hurt a bit

Did he have that thing on his wrist in the first half?

A lot of under the radar hustle plays by Jalen tonight.

33 -- that's the fractured wrist that kept him out of a good portion of the season.

Great to see him take advantage of some open looks for a change. Hopefully this is a harbinger of things to come.

I actually don't mind Morgantown. But this arena is a giant turd. And I'm not one to judge arenas
Morgantown and Norman are the worst venues in the conference. OU's crappy arena is someone else's problem, now. We will likely never play there again.

As far as the teams entering next year, I haven't been to ASU's since it was renovated, but prior to that, it would have rivaled Lloyd Noble for biggest dump. U of A, Colorado, and Utah all have nice venues.
