I dont know of any

Not sure if it is an ESPN360 game also.  But we look real nice on the offensive end, and good in pressuring the ball on defense, and our normal sub-par in the half-court defense.  But, the shots are fallng for all of our guys right now and we are up 6 at the under-4 timeout.

did you check espn360.com?

That would be the only option I know of...

You know I do not say this very often

But wow did OU get the no-calls/calls in that little section of the game.

OU up 53-50 with the ball and momentum and Carroll with 4 fouls

So I spent most of my time...

...doing one of two things during this game:

  1. Napping--I accidentally fell asleep at halftime, only I had switched over to the ISU-KSU game before I fell asleep, so when I woke up and there were 7 minutes left, I couldn't just rewind the DVR and watch what I missed.  Bitches man.
  1. Watching the game away from the ball.  Ever since I wrote that Pre-Nikai/Post-Nikai post a few days ago, I was trying to figure out specifically why our defense is worse without Hannah.  I knew Hannah had quick hands, but the regression was so stark that I wanted to know what else was going on.  Here's what I came up with: Jason Horton is horrible away from the ball...on offense and defense, actually.  When he doesn't have the ball (on offense) or when his man doesn't (on defense), he's lost.

OU's a team that relies on two things: a) against a man, they rely on finding an open 3 when their big man is doubled, and b) against a zone, they rely on finding an open 3 through skip passes.  Horton is bad at doubling--he doesn't cut off passing angles--and I think every open 3 they got against our zone was when they skip-passed to Horton's section of the zone.  I don't want to pick on him (well, not really) because Keon had plenty of brainfarts down the stretch on both sides of the court (he really didn't have a good game).  But Horton's bad defense, combined with the absolutely horrid rebounding technique of Brown and Butterfield, just reaffirmed to me how much our leadership will improve next year just by getting rid of these seniors.
