TU v OHIO GAME THREAD

[TU_BLA]

We are flat out wearing them down. Make Simmons give the ball up and Ohio struggles.

 

[jesterondirt]

Ladies and gentlemen it's officially a 0-0 game!

 

[TUMU]

SHAQ!!!!!!!!!!! He wants this W so bad, I don't think I've ever seen an individual player that is so competitive and committed to getting the W. Let's go Tulsa!!!!

He's playing like a KC Royal player, no quit.

 

[chito_and_leon]

They have 21 turnovers. Is Wojick their coach?

 

[TU_BLA]

Defense finally decided to show up. Good adjustment from Haith & Co. on how they defended the pick with Kaminski.

Pat Birt!!!!!

 

[jesterondirt]

Holy shiiiiiiiii.........huge 3!!!!!

 

[Tu Geo]

Yes!!!!!

 

[Glasscain]

That shot by Birt was a dagger to Ohio

 

[chito_and_leon]

They had turnovers on at least 5 straight possessions. Ouch! We converted every one.

 

[barrister1602]

unbeweavable!!!!

 

[TU_BLA]

Didn't like our last possession and isolation Harrison like that. That looks like Woj offense there. Play your normal offense there and be smart.

 

[barrister1602]

Shaq is awesome

 

[Tu Geo]

Ohio has only made one three this half.

 

[jesterondirt]

We gotta get this inbounds play flawlessly

 

[Tu Geo]

BS on that call

 

[TUTigerCane]

Just hit our free throws and get us out of here

 

[texcane1982]

Don't pull-up Shaq........ take it to the hole and take the points! Him pulling up trying to run clock caused the double-dribble.

TX

 

[jesterondirt]

Need them both to fall!

Yes!!!!

 

[TU_BLA]

Don't look now, 74% on the game from FT, 30% from 3 after woeful starts. NO FOULS!

 

[texcane1982]

Need to pressure the ball, don't let them have open range to half-court.


TX

 

[jesterondirt]

Do you play defense here or let them take the shot?

 

[jesterondirt]

Good foul

 

[texcane1982]

Harrison doesn't foul they take a bad shot IMO.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Sometimes mediocre teams play poorly to awful teams and get down, but they always come back.

This will give the committee 100% reason to not put this team in the tournament, that they got down huge to a 300th ranked team and then didn't even have the pride or heart to come back.

Post of the day! Suck it BJ Lester.

 

[Tu Geo]

Foul early

 

[texcane1982]

The vacation is over, now get focused, lace up the boots and win the d*mn tournament! #WakeupCall

Money for the WIN!

 

[jesterondirt]

Golden!!!!!!!

So glad the team didn't give up as easily as I did. I'm ashamed of myself. Go TU!!!

 

[chito_and_leon]

Just like we game planned it.

 

[TU_BLA]

Great comeback. Hopefully Haith's post game speech is Don't Ever Take Anyone for Granted

 

[cmullinsTU]

Hurricane!!!!

I did as well Jester!!!!! Now I'm losing my mind at the office still in disbelief that they battled back!

 

[Glasscain]

Great win, Team showed a lot of heart.

 

[Tu Geo]

Awesome !!!!!!

Go TU!!!!

 

[cmullinsTU]

Great comeback. Hopefully Haith's post game speech is Don't Ever Take Anyone for Granted

It's very likely, he stresses that a lot in post game anyway. I hope this game gets through to the team that you can't take any teams for granted though.

 

[TUTigerCane]

There you go...easy win. Now when do we play next? Sunday?

 

[Weatherdemon]

Wow!
One heckuva comeback!

 

[I.I.]

Have NEVER seen that great a comeback in 30+ years at TU. Harrison a warrior for the ages.

 

[Tulsa76]

Golden!!!!!!!

So glad the team didn't give up as easily as I did. I'm ashamed of myself. Go TU!!!

I did the same way too early and went back and deleted my rant! I should know that TU never gives up!
The TU Nation's pride has been saved!

Pat Birt trying to get me fired when he hit that 3. I can't watch any more games like that from the office.

 

[TU_BLA]

Play with passion and urgency for 60 minutes and this team can play well into March.

BTW, at one point early in the 2nd half, we had missed 11 FTs, only missed 1 the remainder of the game. We were 1-8 from 3 to start the game, and hit 3-5 down the stretch. 5 scorers in double figures. Shaq with 31, SWANNEGAN WAS A BEAST! Swannegan, 6-7 from the field, 4-6 from the line, 5 rebs, 1 asst, and only 2 fouls. Woodard struggled but made the big shots when they were most needed like a star should. Birt is going to make us tough. Curtis, solid overall although the shooting % wasn't there.
