Crazy thing about Watson is he makes threes at a higher rate than anybody on the team in warmups. There’s a sh*t ton of potential there.

because we're fouling lol

We still get some favorable calls in crunch time but fouls are part and parcel of this defensive style

OK, I knew I shouldn't have posted it. I said, "I get it, we foul," so does everyone else, yet we never seem to get the home favor other teams do.

Glad I gave you a chuckle.

Really gonna need to bear down here and figure out a way to get OU to foul.

I'm leaning to the 'let C. Jones bring the ball up' club. Him pulling up on a run out is not a bad thing at all at times.

 

[ExCyment]

Did you see Watson close out on the wide open 3 point shot by OU? I think he may have tipped the ball. He's been the difference in the game so far.

And without fouling the shooter.

Not the first time Jess has called Lipsey “Tipsey”

Using the Varsity app so I can listen to John and Eric. Sooo much better.

Still not great offense this half, but better than the first half. We are getting looks and finishing a little better at the rim. Not fouling much the last 5 minutes has helped as well.

Can you sync it?

As much rest for Milan as we can get him the rest of the regular season. The way we play, for a freshman that’s tough. He looks tired on his shots.

I do wonder sometimes if TJ’s style of play and demands on these guys causes them to wear down by the end of the year. Everyone is going to wear down a little bit but our intensity in the game and practice is next level.

 

[Pope]

Can you sync it?

Yup

The one thing this team is missing is the absolute dawg that could get a bucket when you absolutely needed it. Niang and Fizer were those guys. Also Dedric Willoughby. Gilbert is close on this team.

I'm optimistic he'll be that guy next year. Not quite there this year.

 

[I-stateTheTruth]

Hate how they get slop out of a trap.

If you're talking about that one we had in the corner, Momcilovic let his guy get position under the basket. And then fouled him.

 

[Pope]

Just play tough D without fouling and I like our chances. OU is only 1/11 from 3, so you know they're gonna hit one or more soon.

 

[rosshm16]

Now that we are 10 deep (11 if you count Omaha), the natty seems like a sure thing.

 

[I-stateTheTruth]

Who gets to double figures first?

Watson - 8; Gilbert - 8 and C. Jones - 7

 

[RagingCloner]

Jesus BRE. Pull your head out

 

[rosshm16]

WHAT SON

 

[jctisu]

Watson is so good

A good thing is CJ, Tamin and Gibson can at least force the issue to get to the hoop and hopefully draw a foul.

 

[Pope]

Watson getting close to a double double.

DeMarion in beast mode!
