Good to get minutes against somebody else in exhibition. Will be better by conference season likely.
Natt is an elite defender. Baptism by fire today for Forsythe. Senior v frosh. He will learn from this game and get better. Natt will likely be the best defender he sees all year

Loofe in great condition. Lawal only 5 points and he could be our best player. Kobi and Mike Williams show their experience. I like both. Alexa and Desire just learning

Per article I read today, OSU spent between 15 & 17.5 million on NIL for this season’s team. They’re behind T-Tech & KU, but in the same range as Cincy, Arizona & Houston. So, they’re paying for a top 6, Big XII roster.

OSU was picked 11th in the Big12 preseason poll. They have a chance to be a tournament team imo but will need to get players healthy. They are missing 3 of their top 8-9 players for today’s game. Their best big won’t be back until late Jan early Feb. Without those players they have very little quality depth. As was evident by today’s game when all those backups were on the floor together.

I was encouraged by what I saw from TU today. No quit in those kids. We have some players who can shoot the ball from 3 combined with some athletes who can defend.

This is only an exhibition and we were on the road against the pokies. Like how we played and battled. We need to make the free throws. This was a good test to see where we are as a team. Our next game and the start of the season is in 10 days and we play Ottawa. There will always be things we need to work on but as long as we battle to the end and play together we should do well

Wonder if there will be a postgame interview of Konkol that we can pick up on the net?

Throw in Johnson, and take away the minutes at Pt guard that went to forsythe, and split them up between Lawal and M Williams, and we will immediatly be a better team. So will OSU w Clary though.

Minutes Kobi 33, Rigsby 27, Loofe 23, Lawal 23, M Wiilliams 23/ Forsythe 23

Throw in Johnson, more minutes for Lawal, less minutes for Forsythe, and a few more minutes for Loofe & Emory and we will see the team that is going to play at the beginning of the season is my guess.

Does anybody know what kind of injury Johnson has and if he will be playing in the regular season by the ORU or Western Kentucky game?
