Post OSU Game Thoughts

  • Quincy Acy was the difference. With Lomers and Dou on the court, we essentially play with 4 people on offense. This means that our opponent can use their center to help when our guards drive. How many times have you seen one of our guards penetrate and then dish to one of our 7 footers only to see the ball fly through their hands out of bounds? He also brought some rebounding to the game. For some perspective, the Lomers/Diene combo is averaging 5.2 points and 2.8 rebounds combined counting our sta-puff non-conference schedule. Acy delivered 17 and 12 against OSU.
  • Does the OSU coaching staff offer Byron Eaton a cheeseburger every time he scores a basket? He sure looks/plays like it.
  • Speaking of Eaton, the game was effectively over when he fouled out and we went to overtime. I was more worried at the end when any random player can make a shot. During a sustained period of time, they weren't going to be able to score with us without Eaton.
  • We need to be 3-1 in conference going into the game in Norman. Can't look past KSU on Wednesday night.
  • Shot selection was much better on Saturday compared to the aggie game.
  • Is it too much to ask to get out to a lead early and keep it throughout the game?

On a site news note, I'll try to bring in a little more football stuff this week as well as recaps of the KSU basketball game. Later kids.

Murph.
