TCU game thread

[Gold*]

Exciting start. KES and Williams are somethin. Bigs not so much.

 

[t-townpod]

Not so sure about Haywood. Kind of shot happy

 

[t-townpod]

What is Haywood doing out there

 

[Gold*]

14-0 run TCU.

No discernible offense by us. Defense got lazy

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Not so sure about Haywood. Kind of shot happy

Poor replacement for Horne?

 

[Gold*]

Hey, called play to Ugboh. No one saw that coming.

 

[Gold*]

Ugboh shooting free throws. Got em right where we want em.

 

[Gold*]

Joiner our of control tonight.

 

[astonmartin708_rivals]

Rachal still can't shoot. Bigs can't rebound. New guards look pretty good but we're blowing some rotations on defense.

 

[TulsaFan2000]

Very sloppy basketball. Just a bunch of unnecessary turnovers and poor shot selection

 

[Gold*]

TCU has carved up the zone. Our guards are good enough to get us out of this, but will we play the best ones?

 

[Gmoney4WW]

We're looking like year before last on offense.

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

Looks to be an up and down year. Gotta rely on quickness and D. Not a lot of shooting talent out there.

I like the freshman Williams. More of him, please.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

We definitely have talent at the guard position. The Keyshawns look good! We have to limit the second shots & stop with the unforced turnovers (Joiner!) & we should have a shot to win this game.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

I wonder if we have a press or at least a good 1/2 court trap. We have a quickness advantage if we would exploit it.

 

[Gold*]

Ugboh needs to foul if he’s in there.

 

[I.I.]

More Williams, KES, and Ray I. and Rashal inside 15 feet. I have never liked Joiner at PG. You all know that. Jackson could make some things happen. Ugboh is a little better but needs to learn against lesser teams.

If we lose it will be two things: Rebounding and wide open threes on defense.

 

[drboobay]

It looks like old fashioned Tulsa small ball. But we need to rebound better, the right guys need to shoot the 3s, and we need to take care of the ball.

 

[Gold*]

No Early. That’s a surprise.

 

[I.I.]

Joiner chews Ugboh *** for not getting rebounds with inside position.

 

[I.I.]

Ugboh now on bench.

 

[I.I.]

No Early. That’s a surprise.

Still getting over injury.

 

[t-townpod]

No Early. That’s a surprise.

Recovering from injury

 

[t-townpod]

Still with my pregame concerns. No inside game and average to poor 3 point shooting

 

[TulsaFan2000]

We need to do a better job on the glass.

 

[TulsaFan2000]

We cannot win this game without getting rebounds. Everyone just needs to physical down low

 

[URedskin54]

Jackson is tough. Never take him out

 

[I.I.]

Samuels has 3 fouls.

 

[I.I.]

RI is decent in post. Much better hands than Ugboh.

 

[Loca5174]

Samuels has 3 fouls.

We need to get him 2 more

 

[TulsaRising1]

RI is decent in post. Much better hands than Ugboh.

Needs to start over him

 

[I.I.]

After shot clock.

 

[Gold*]

Joiner missed assignment doubles lead. Not his best night. The coaches see something none of us do.

 

[I.I.]

Let’s see who we play in crunch time now. RI has to be the Big. KES and Rashal. Maybe Jackson.

 

[t-townpod]

So athletic but 15% from the 3 is scary bad

 

[TulsaFan2000]

They’ll figure it out later in the season. Im optimistic given that we can hang in a game while shooting that poorly

 

[I.I.]

Miles outplaying Williams now in Freshman contest. Hate to see that.

 

[URedskin54]

So athletic but 15% from the 3 is scary bad

We have a bunch of guys that everyone knows aren't going to shoot 15% from 3 so I'm not sure what this means

 

[t-townpod]

It means we are not a great 3 point shooting team. 20% when you have no inside game spells trouble

 

[URedskin54]

I don't think anyone knows what kind of 3 point shooting team we have after one game, but you seem to know even before a minute has been played
