The D played against the clones is pretty good, mainly on the switches on the perimeter. That's part of it, but we also look like an uninspired bunch for some reason.

Look for Fred to shake up the lineup in the second half. We can still win this game fellas.

Hang in there.

It would take a collapse of epic proportions from ou to pull this game out. Not going to happen.

The good news is that playing OU players other than Hield has me up over 2k on FanDuel. Bad news is that we were really, really bad, and have some problems.

I'm convinced there is locker room trouble. Something we don't know about. This isn't a team any more.

Is the goal of the game to fall down on purpose. That's mainly what OU is doing.

It's not the main reason we're losing, but the lead is all the way up to 19 because the refs fell for a ton of pathetic flops. You need a reality check if you think all those flops were fouls. Even if they called it equally tight down low on McKay's scores the game is closer.

Dude, how high are you? If they didn't call a single foul,on us we'd still be down by 15! It ain't the refs.

Looks like a number of coaches in the Big 12 have figured out how to frustrate this incarnation of Hoiball. So far, Hoiberg doesn't have an answer.

Very strange how this team lacks poise and basketball IQ, when those are two Hoiberg characteristics. There's a breakdown somewhere...

This x100. The book is written on us. And instead of figuring out how to adjust, we do the same **** and expect different results. How many times can we drive to the hoop and throw up a **** shot or make a dumb pass??

The biggest difference i see on our offense is four guys standing around at the top of the three point circle and McKayworking for position. What happened to setting off the ball screens? What happened to moving the ball side to side? I'm not nearly as worried now about anybody going pro... they all need more seasoning.

Again - this is the third game in a row that Hoiberg is getting schooled. Lon Kruger is a classy HC that knows how to prepare a team. Right now we look unprepared and our mental aspect of the game is completely lost!

What happened to the high low post that was effective earlier in the year. We never use it anymore....if a guard wants to shade to the high post then kick for a wide open three pointer.

Biggest problem right now is our mental toughness to weather storms and rebound to get a basket when we need one. This team thinks they have to settle for a three.

Hope they turn a serious corner in the second half otherwise this will be an discouraging loss that can cause you to lose 1-2 seeds.

FYI for whoever said the refs are not factoring into the game thats total BS. Both the fouls against Booker deep in the shot clock were junk bailout calls. Im used to this type of calls going against us at Phogg Allen, not Hilton!

Word out of the locker room.... Fred took out his pacemaker and tried to give it to BDJ. They couldn't find his heart so he's looking to give it to Nader.

I have the same feeling....scratch/crawl back...them lose at the end.

Hope im right...but wrong in that we then pull out a monumental comeback win at end

Exactly, its the fact that this team literally is mentally the softest team fred has ever had. Yes that includes season 1. Oh and we suck at defense

OU is just WAY better than us. Better players and better coaching. Pretty simple.
