I want Isaiah Cousins to break out of this slump.
I want this #GIATakeover to be an actual thing.
I want to see OU’s walk-ons in the game because we all know what that means.
I want a WIN!

BOOMER!
SOONER!
SOONER!!!
I’ll have to see this #GIATakeover to believe it. Even in worse years Puke fans fill GIA for Bedlam. This is Final Four and NBA Finals all rolled up into one for them. Either way, we make osu our biznatch tonight.
92-67.
Hope we make GIA our beeotch.
Me too
I’m gonna make you my………friend.
I agree that I want to see Cousins get out of his slump. Know he is putting in the time in the gym. Just wanna see the kid breakout.
Let’s do this
Will Buddy score 30 tonight? I would like to see it.
Yes.
Will Latten have 3 blocks tonight?
I’ll take the over.
First points of the game by Buddy. Would liked to have seen Cousins hit that 3 to start game.
Buddy needs 4 more 3 pointers to be all time leader at OU.
Latten with first block
seems like Buddy is good for at least a couple of those every game.
yep.
so much for Cousins breaking out of this slump
Seems like forever since we scored.
Buddy time.
unreal
Latten 2 blocks!
Buddy with the silencer. He’s so good.
Latten has gotten so much better on the offensive end
Little Daddy is getting better each and every game.
Woodard’s gym time is showing up.
Walker showing up
lol, how did that go in???
I will say it again. Latten is showing his offensive prowess.
He is a HUGE asset to this team.
He seems to get better every game. Kid is a quick study.
Yes.
Quick game. Already under 10 minutes.
AK suited up tonight?
Funny to me. Ford put up his hand for high 5’s and didn’t get one.
LOOK OUT
Cousins?
Good to see Cousins hit a 3.
Glad to see Manyang back from illness.
<——- Buddy
Man…if Manyang turns into a good shot blocker like Lattin has, we could have a really great couple of years defensively.
that 2nd foul was so dumb. the Ok State guy was ramming his shoulder into him, backing him down. what’s AK supposed to do, just get out of the way?
No doubt. But don’t get me started on the officials…I’m enjoying this game so far, lol
He has 21 blocks in 12 games.
Yeah, not saying hes a bad shot blocker. I think so far it’s more of a product of his height. He needs to improve his timing…which Lattin has made tremendous improvement. Just thinking about him taking it to the next level.
AK averages one block every 5:34.
Lattin averages one block every 10:02.
Sigh, I really hate having to spell everything out in excruciating detail everytime I post just so someone who’s intent on arguing can get it.
Again, I’m talking about being excited to see if he can show the same dramatic improvement that Lattin has. If so, we’re really going to have a special frontcourt.
13 for Buddy after the layup
let’s run these mofo’s outta their own bldg
Can we petition for a 5th year for Buddy. I want him to stay forever.
You and me both!
Can we figure out a way to pay him NBA type money? 😉
Just ask Calipari. 😉
Caution: Puke tears make the Iba floor slippery.
I love this team. Truly a team effort. Guys just want to make each other better. Case in point is Woodard becoming a gym rat like Buddy and Cousins.
Turnovers
For all the things I love about this team, their inability to step on an opponent’s neck and keep their foot there is maddening.
Watching the game and saw the runner. Browns done with Manziel. What a shocker…not.
Should have never started. Decision making is why that franchise is a complete dumpster fire.
Yep…I think their last good move was drafting Jim Brown in 1960 ( or whenever )
Woodard 2 3’s in a row! Last year he was being given those shots. NO MOSS!!!
There is a reason Buddy is POTY so far.
WOW what a block by AK!! His shot blocking has improved so much.
LMAO, that’s a goaltend? Mmmmmkay
I don’t know man, that looked like it was still on it’s way up.
Ball was at midpoint of trajectory. Not sure it was on its way down.
I thought that too but on the replay it showed that it was.
Easy goaltending call. Relax, guys.
Not even close to a charge. That’s a no call.
12 point halftime lead should probably 20
As my favorite basketball coach used to say: “You got their balls under your shoes. All you gotta do is stomp!!”
My HS BB coach’s favorite saying was “If you score we may win, if they never score, we will never lose”.
anyone else think that the refs are “home crowding” it?
It’s not too bad so far. Certainly not getting phogged or anything.
Five of us tonight. These things are getting popular, Esco.
I believe that there are others out there that just do not comment.
I am one of those you speak of.
I was sure of it. 🙂
Getting this two year old to bed is rough homie. If I comment more then you will know that I have won.
My boy just graduated college. Been there. Good luck to you and yours.
I’d comment more but I’m not the biggest basketball fan. I watch OU basketball and enjoy it, but I don’t have anything of substance to post about the game itself outside of “whooo!” Or “Yay!”
Well, start whooing and yaying then. 🙂
Yay!
Any positive comment is welcome! 🙂
Appreciate those here whatever the number. It could be worse 🙂
I will take my ball and go home if you don’t calm down. 🙂
Cale at the game. Mike isn’t. What does that tell you about OU / OSU sports commitment?
https://twitter.com/OU_MBBall/status/687468385471365120
That isn’t fair.
Well on his way to 30
He hit 34 3FG in a row in practice. 4-5 is actually a bad % for him
I watched that. How talented the young man is. I love to see a good kid make a difference!
His whole story is inspirational. He’s one of my all time favorite Sooners. I hope he tears it up in the NBA.
You and me and probably every Sooner!
probably don’t need to be taking 35-footers
Man, I love Lattin’s aggressiveness and activity lately.
I don’t know what to make of Cousins, other than his confidence is simply gone.
just can’t catch a break (or get a roll)
His form is off. On the 3 attempt he had no follow through and shot from his palm. That’s usually the result of thinking too much.
His shot has always been kinda flat, IMO. But it looks even worse of late.
So this just hovers around a 6-10 point game, proves much tougher than it ever needed to be, and Kruger rides the starters for the better part of 40 minutes yet again.
Does that sound about right?
We can not let them back into this game!
Time to pull a big run out of their butt.
Agree
Lattins going to be a force in time.
Cousins needs a hypnotist, his game is in his head.
Nice pick off and finish by Cousins
Then the bad pass.
Can’t keep turning it over on the road.
Unforced errors……
Wow, that pass was a telegraph all the way. Dang!
The crowds getting into it now. Can turkey legs be far behind?
Surely not.
Turkey leg or a tripper along the court side.
Two picks by Cousins, but Sooners need to get back into a flow.
And to think, Cousins gave the in-bounder the full 3 feet and STILL got the steals. 😉
terrible defense. that’s literally the only move that guy has and he’s killed OU w/ it all night.
Yeah. Defense has been very poor tonight.
If I was OSU Id just give Cousins the 3 attempt
Nice flop. Lol.
How many turnovers has Buddy had in the last 3 games?
Quit beating ourselves and we’re up by 20.
I don’t see this team getting past the elite 8. Only player that drives the ball to the rim is Buddy. The rest try jump shots that they can not make. Lon needs two Buddy’s to win it all.
I disagree. We are struggling tonight, but this is the best OU team since 1990.
Not sure I agree with this, although I completely respect your opinion. This is the best Ou team since the Tubbs era. The biggest concern for Ou right now is not players driving to the rim, it’s these unforced errors and turnovers that are killing them. That will get you sent home in March… real quick like!
I think that’s a little harsh, especially since there aren’t any truly elite teams this year.
That is true. I hope I can eat my words come the end of the dance
Eventually we’ll stop shooting ourselves in the foot, right?
Finally off work and get to catch this 2nd half. The guys have to clean up the turnovers
There was a clear push off on the rebound. Beginning to look like Hawk cooking.
Spangler is almost invisible so far tonight
Spangler and Cousins has not played up tonight.
yeah Cousins as well
So, our guys dribble way too much…
Yup, Buddy dribbled it once too many times on that last turnover.
About time that big dummy got called for an offensive foul.
Hey osu… we can make fancy layups as well
The refs calling of this game has slowed it down in OSU’s favor, for sure. We gotta quit with the outside shot selection. It reminds me of the Thunder and their struggles
Currently the 3rd seed in the West.
And won’t go any higher. Bench is hit and miss, too much iso offense and not enough D as in the past.
Wow, First 3 of the second half. This team is capable of getting hot quickly and making this a runaway. Gotta get after it for these last 10 minutes. Come on Sooners!
I hate orange
Orange makes me want to puke!
Ford’s jacket is an abomination. Yuck!
The croud got quiet and all the sudden we settled and got a few buckets
Typing on a tablet are we? 😉
Haha, I have the same issue!
iPhone
Evans is pretty good.
Spangler getting into the game.
Buddy is now the 3 point leader at OU
Nice drive and kick right there. Buddy’s got the record!
Solid D
I take it you and Fear the Magic don’t see eye to eye right now. LOL
Maybe Jordan forgot the “/s”
LOL
We’re sleepwalking on defense
Hammonds should have been called for a plus 1 when Woodard took it to the bucket earlier.
If Buddy Hield has more than a centimeter of room to shoot, that’s too much. He’s gonna knock it down
Need a couple guys to get hot for a few minutes.
Buford needs to understand the situation. Can not foul there.
Nice. Cousins hits.
Where’s Lattin?
OSU is making so many mistakes s bc they’re young. Can’t give it up here
Is this real life?
Cousins!
Quit shooting threes, Ryan.
Geez. These are some weak foul calls.
Thank goodness that we play good Defense.
Weird game.
I figured I’d wait till a commercial break to bring this up. I know we give Perry Ellis a hard time because it seems like he’s been in college since Naismith was the coach at Kansas, but am I the only one who feels the exact same way about Rico Gathers? I feel like he’s been at Baylor for ten years.
Um, how is smacking Buddy in the face not a foul on that 3?
Geez-us
I smell home cookin
All night long
Thats what I said earlier and still think it.
Need to get hot here.
Drive. The. Ball. Get. To. The. Bonus.
Latten 3rd block!
And after Evans tried to hook him with his left arm.
Khadeem channeling his inner Big Daddy D right there
Thats just ridiculous
Lol, Buddy is just sick
Buddy!
Both in the bonus now. Get ready for thisbgane to take another 25 minutes of real tinw
feels like every single prayer the Pukes throw up gets answered
Evans is in the zone. wow!
I will agree with almost every shot Buddy takes, however that is not one of them
I dunno, kid is hitting over 50% even with those attempts thrown in. If he’s feeling it I’m ok with it. 🙂
I hate it when we let crappy teams hang around. It’s infuriating.
Can Lattin give his teammates some of that defensive juice he has? That’d be great
unbelievable how many kids have career days against OU
This is so true!! It doesn’t seem to matter what sport or if its the guys or the girls, someone from the opposing team is going to set some kind of personal record. It’s almost a guarantee
Gotta feel lucky about getting this one…sometimes you have a game like this though. Hopefully Lon emphasizes points in the paint at practice this week.
At this point, we just need to get out of here with a W.
Good steal
Finally play good defense…. turnover insues
Stepped out of bounds again!
And yet another unforced error. How do you step out of bounds.
How late you wanna blow that whistle ref?
was thinking the same thing
The ball had already sailed over the rim and was on the way down!
BS foul. Called from the Half court?
ANY contact by us will draw a foul smh
Gonna come down to hitting free throws here pretty quick for OU.
Hack-a-Olivier
Just give the ball to Buddy and let him create.
NO. run him off screens. when he tries to create off the dribble is when he turns the ball over.
Let him drive and draw the foul. Really simple.
Don’t miss FT’s.
Wow. Ridiculous call.
Its really hard to play 5 against 7
BS call on Latten
So molesting Buddy Hield on the rebound wasn’t a foul, but Khadeem breathing on the OSU player is?? makes sense
no foul on Hield on the rebound tho, right? smh
WOW
Wow, that was ticky tack for sure. Par for the course tonight.
Buddy Hield is about the break the reindeer lovers hearts right here
It sure doesn’t feel like we are up 7 right now.
Sloppy game for sure
The actual score is OU 82 OSU55 Refs 14
So…now the officials just call every contact between players?
Crazy.
Two Pukes run into one another and they call a foul on OU, lol
Stupid ball handling.
Um Buddy, where were you throwing that?
Sometimes I think Buddy might be blind
Have we ever seen a press?
We will on Saturday for sure
That TO was on Spangler.
Burn this game film when it is over.
I love OU basketball but if this were OU football Id be pacing the floor.
Starting?
lol…….that was a push off btw…offensive foul
Nice charge.
JFC, Buddy has nine turnovers tonight
I thought it was double digits. For real.
Now it is.
Didn’t we have this won about a minute ago?
This press is like going down to your local YMCA and watching a pickup game of 50 year old men compared to what they will see Saturday.. They need to work on that the next few days!
Excessive foul calling causes tentative defense and is crap to watch. I hate the Big 12 refs.
Is this guy really comparing Juwan Evans to Chris Paul?
Pretty sure I said don’t get too cocky yesterday.
why even bother playing defense
If you do you’re just going to get a foul called on you. Why stop the game clock?
Dude just said, “Lon Kruger’s team knows what to do at the end of games.”
LOLOLOLOLOL
Hack ball.
This is a joke right? This isn’t really happening, someone pinch me and wake me up
Feels good to get the boots off..whats the score
74-72 OU, but OSU just got the ball on a missed FT. Wow. About 1 or 2 seconds left. Wow
dang…fig it’d be a blowout
It kind of was early on, but then OU started turning it over and Evans for OSU is just going all Buddy Hield on the Sooners.
Don’t turn the game on.. if you’ve had a long stressful day this will only add to your worries
one of those days huh…maybe we pull it out
OSU isnt known for their smarts …they’ll probably run a play that takes 5 seconds.
Only the Big 12 could turn this game into actual bedlam.
Praying they don’t shoot a 3 here because every prayer they have thrown up tonight has gone in
this
JUST DONT FOUL
How slow is this clock going to be?
Watch, they will get three or four dribbles. SMH
Isn’t there a rule that a defender can’t make you knock it out of bounds..We should get the ball no matter what if I understand it right
BFS
The osu player punched that ball out of bounds. Crazy.
Can we just do what Frank Mason did and get away with it too?
Maybe we should pull a Wayne Selden and no matter what the official says stand out of bounds with the inbounder
Wow.
Aww…almost 🙁
THAT BS ALMOST WENT IN
When it went off the board I thought it was! I just started shaking my head. Holy Cow!
DAMN.
Must have been some referee discussion this week about spacing for the inbound player…anyone else notice that?
Well folks thats as good as a 40 point win.
So stupid. Glad we won, but this garbage officiating really needs to stop.
a win is a win, i guess
Those hypocrite BS Big XII refs F’N told AK to back up off the inbounder? Are you F’N kidding me!?!?
I hate the Big 12
Where was that at KU?

This looks like a tired basketball team since the Kansas game. Really need to get more minutes for the bench.
3 pts off the bench…
Thank God WV travels Saturday.
College BB offisiatiing is such BS. Home cooking all around.
Thing is, it was mostly okay in the first half… but as the game wore on it got so much worse
agreed
How else do you think bad teams beat good teams? That’s right, refs slowing the game down…
More bench play and more points in the paint, please.
Hey, as ugly as this was tonight they still won! I believe they are now 15-1 and this is honestly their first really bad game. I can handle an off night every 16 games or so, especially when you still find a way to win. If this team wins Saturday you have to believe they will be ranked #1 come Monday. Boomer!!
Win and they will be, no question.
It’s Bedlam. A win is a win.
I’m just gonna call it a night. Peace out. BOOMER SOONER.
Out. Boomer Sooner.
You and me both. 3:30 alarm comes early after nights like tonight. 🙂
I am exhausted. Boomer.
I stopped regularly watching college and pro basketball because the officiating is so terrible. Mauling is allowed away from the ball, breathing on the man with the ball is a foul. And the end of a college BB game takes forever. Perhaps all fouls with less than 2 minutes remaining should be automatic three free throws.
Similar to an idea I’ve had for a long time. Any foul in the last two minutes is an automatic two points, no free throws, just add two points. The fouled team gets the ball out of bounds at mid-court. Plus a 10 second shot clock. You would see some very interesting games.
Like it.
I like this idea. The last 30 seconds of a basketball game can last 15 minutes. Drives me crazy with all the fouls at the end.
You are so right. I hate all those mostly meaningless fouls.

Tough win last night. Even a good team has a rough night. I’m just glad it was against such an inferior team or we would have had our second loss. If we win at home against West Virginia we’ll be #1 come Monday.
After last night and the Turnover Parade…that WVU game is horrifying. At least it’s a home game.
As good as Buddy is, he just doesn’t need the ball in his hands in crunch time until we are on the offensive end of the floor. Costly, costly turnovers.
Buddy Hield is an accomplished scorer…an ELITE scorer. Walking turnover, that guy. Woof.
