Smack those Cowboys in the face!

I’m stuck in a hotel room with a non working TV. Hoping no access works today.

 

[cmullinsTU]

Haven’t seen it mentioned, I like having Henderson on our staff. He will give us a slight coaching advantage imo, due to his familiarity with the older players.

Trey Young has 26 points and 22 assists tonight. That’s nuts

Holy sheeet!!!! Regardless who you are playing 22 assists is impressive in a game, but from a single player? Very impressive.

Now back to TU vs OSU. I'm nervous but expect this to be close to the final whistle.

 

[TU 1978]

No TV. Wish the Faux Sports app had video.

 

[nevadanatural]

I was pleasantly surprised when I found out I had the Fox regionals on my Dish subscription.

 

[nevadanatural]

That blocking foul looked questionable at first glance. Especially the way they’ve been calling TU games recently.

 

[Weatherdemon]

Not a bad start but not great.
2 subs already.

 

[lawpoke87]

Good start by TU. Shooting the ball well and active on D.


OSU 1-5 from 3

 

[cmullinsTU]

I have Directv Now and for some reason I have access to the game on foxsportsgo.com despite living in St Louis.

 

[cmullinsTU]

Not a bad start but not great.
2 subs already.

I’m fine with Jackson and Artison coming in for Wheeler and Igbanu respectively.

Don’t be surprised if Joiner comes in for Henderson during media TO.

 

[nevadanatural]

Pass, pass, pass not dribble, dribble, dribble.

 

[lawpoke87]

Solomon out with two fouls. That was my key for TU

 

[Novocaine]

This crowd is allsome.

 

[Weatherdemon]

Taplin playing well

 

[cmullinsTU]

I hate that the only tv option is an OSU feed.

Taplin and Etou playing well on offense. Everyone doing their job on defense.

 

[Weatherdemon]

We’re really struggling to get good shots.
Fortunately OSU is missing a lot of easy ones.

 

[lawpoke87]

OSU missing a ton a layups and open 3s. Reminds me of the KSU game.

 

[cmullinsTU]

Henderson needs to sit the rest of the half. Terrible shot followed by god awful defense. Thankfully OSU missed the wide open shot.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

We have to rebound better & hit more shots . You know they’re going to start making some 3s.

 

[URedskin54]

We’re really struggling to get good shots.
Fortunately OSU is missing a lot of easy ones.

It’s apparent that we can’t get into our offense against Averette without Tap in the game.

 

[nevadanatural]

We’re beating the press but taking a 3 with 20 seconds on the clock.

 

[Weatherdemon]

Questionable block call

 

[URedskin54]

gonna need Henderson to hit open shots

 

[lawpoke87]

Disappointing to have your opponent go 3-18 from 3 and be tied. OSU wont shoot that poorly in the second.

 

[cmullinsTU]

The block against Joiner was a bad call. Regardless gotta stop taking 25 ft 3s with 20 secs left in shot clock.

 

[cmullinsTU]

Disappointing to have your opponent go 3-18 from 3 and be tied. OSU wont shoot that poorly in the second.

And TU shot 3-15 from 3. Wont shoot that poorly in 2nd half either. It’s gonna be a tight game to the end unless one team gets really hot.

 

[cmullinsTU]

OSU’s two bigs that can give us fits are in foul trouble. Keep them in foul trouble and we have a good shot at winning.

 

[nevadanatural]

Well, we’re not trailing at half but we should have had the lead. Defense is definitely improving, we’re not losing a man like we used to, ok, once or twice but that’s a big improvement. We had some odd offense there late in the half. We beat the press easily then took a bad shot. When we beat the press we need to either get a quick layup or be patient and get a high percentage shot.

 

[URedskin54]

And TU shot 3-15 from 3. Wont shoot that poorly in 2nd half either. It’s gonna be a tight game to the end unless one team gets really hot.

Yeah works both ways. Hopefully Etou is more aggressive and not settling for 3s in the second half and maybe Henderson will make shots in a big game for once

 

[lawpoke87]

First five minutes of the second half will be very important. One of these teams is going on a run

 

[cmullinsTU]

Not to get all "moral win" but I'm honestly pretty surprised we are playing this well and tied with Jeffries sidelined.

Crazy to think we, overall, are playing better than OSU as a whole.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

if we can stay even with OSU on turnovers & within 1 on offensive rebounds again in the 2nd half, this will go down to the wire. We need to keep the ball moving on offense & hit open 3s to win it.

 

[Weatherdemon]

We have to get better shots.
OSU is but is missing them. That’s usually our problem.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Can't wait to have to figure out how to work Jeffries back into the rotation.

 

[URedskin54]

Really poor defense to start the second half. OSU hasn’t done anything different

 

[nevadanatural]

First five minutes of the second half will be very important. One of these teams is going on a run

And that’s usually the home team. Two turnovers by us didn’t help.

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

Last 4 minutes of 1st Half...
First 4 minutes of 2nd Half...

Usually the key minutes.

 

[lawpoke87]

Nice comeback in the last two minutes. Game was starting to get away. Back in it

 

[Tulsafanzz]

Big XII refs putting themselves in the game.
