Lipsey coming back in thankfully.

He can’t get a quick foul or we’re screwed. Gilbert was a turnover machine.

We don't have the elite rotations we have had in the past 2 years. We have better O now. I really don't think we need to double everything to try to get run outs. Play then more straight up. We're making them look so much better than they are with all the open shots.

we're honestly playing a better game than them.
I don't think too many open 3 looks. Their penetration breaking down the 3 point D. I think you need to hope they miss some layups and not help all the time

People who think King McClure has gotten better as a color commentator, why?
He's fine when he's actually at the game. When he isn't, he sticks to talking points he came up before the game rather than adjusting to the flow

This over rotation to leave a shooter wide open makes no sense.

It's often the result of a bad double and the resulting rotations. It's really infuriating when it's in the stretch of good defensive play. No reason to double but we do then give up a 3. It's old.

I can't remember a time when OU has had this well attended of a home game against us. Or anyone for that matter. Thunder must be on the road tonight.

Never noticed it as much before, Oklahoma’s arena looks tiny. Not as tiny as Baylor’s new arena, but tiny nonetheless

Too many open 3s given up
Poor shot selection
Turnovers
Reffing

Add in ill-advised doubles, poor rebounding (given up too many boards we should have had), and stagnant movement on offense and that just about covers it.
