Big Monday | OU vs. Texas | Game Thread
Posted on: February 8, 2016
They haven’t even played yet and I’m already tired of hearing how this is a ‘must win game’ for Oklahoma. Mainly because after what can only be considered a pretty terrible loss this past Saturday, arguably every single game remaining on OU’s schedule qualifies as a ‘must win’ if you want to call yourself Big 12 champs.
You may not be able to afford another loss, period. Let alone one on your home court. Will the quick turn around play in OU’s favor looking to get that bad taste out of their mouth? Or does the hangover from K-State turn one loss into a second?
I’m counting on the former.
Texas.
Sucks.
BOOMER!

I feel good about this game!! Boomer!!
Sooner!! Oh, and texsa sucks!
That’s true!
I hate when Duke is the game before ours
I hate Duke period!!
touche
Devils vs. pimps.
let’s do this biz #TexasSucks
c’mon man
Ridiculous!!
really wanted that first one to go down for Woodard
sloppy
Did we even practice?
No… Honestly maybe a light workout yesterday afternoon
talk about a sh#tty start
mother f’er averages 2.7 points/game already has 8 in the first 2.7 minutes, smh
are you surprised? Someone from the opposing team always has a career night against Ou. The sport doesn’t matter, it could be rowing and someone will have a career day.
A theory I’ve publicized for many years now. It’s truly uncanny.
Ditto.
Remind you of a certain K state player. Wade I think it was
Of course
There’s no energy. Just like KSU. Lon needs to chew some a$$.
Forgot game started at 8, and walked in to this. Not good.
Buddy needs to drive the basket to create space on the three point line.
I’ll watch with no sound. Not a Mustalkalot fan.
Me either
Hi there! Haven’t seen you in awhile. Any idea where EasTex might be?
No idea… I’ve been just lurking. I forget about hoops threads, honestly
Was that not an elbow thrown?
We have Cam Newton out there “fighting” for the ball.
Lol
thank goodness
I missed the beginning because of the Duke game. Why is Lattin out?
Must be Kruger trying to send a message. He only has one foul, I think.
Interesting.
Wondering if he’s trying to get the bigger guys off the bench some meaningful PT? Whistle happy KSU game exposed depth issues there.
Wondering the sane
They will win this one don’t worry fellas.
I loathe Felix. No lie.
Easy, Dinjyl.
BS call
Spangler!
Send it home!!
It’s Buddy Time.
Better be soon.
Right on cue, he heads to the bench.
It is unreal how many crap shots go in against OU.
+1000000000
And how many point blank OU misses
Hard to watch sometimes.
still cold AF from the floor
Air Force?
Yes, if we lose this game I’ll be mad Air Force.
I haven’t watched every minute of every game, but it seems Lon is rotating the bench in with the ones much, much earlier these past 2 games. True?
Sort of. The rotation changes every game. I was shocked to see ‘Mani come off the bench first tonight.
Yea, he’s def changing it up but just seeing new faces earlier it seems. Dunno. I think it’s good for tourney time but we best not lose too much cause of it.
Still really not getting a ton of minutes barring foul trouble w/ the starters
so many easy buckets
That will happen when your two post players leave the floor to block the shot of the shortest dude on the court.
how to you shoot an air ball from four feet away?
Dead leg syndrome.
Lattin is really struggling.
Love his defensive game, but man he just looks silly on off unless he’s dunking.
Jumani has Felix on the block and NOBODY recognizes it. That’s troubling.
feeding the post is never something this team looks for
And it shows when the guards drive and dish. The post players are never anticipating the pass.
yup
I got roasted on ou hoops.com for mentioning OU needs to score in the post more
terrible
At least we know we can’t play any worse.
Very true. Has to be the lowest half total this season.
Not at all how I thought the first half would go!!
Suckfest of a half.
Heck of a time for us to slump.
f’ing atrocious first half. and really three straight s#$% halves for OU.
Jayhawks are out there taking notes.
I need a drink.
Just one?
To start.
Man. ..we got trucked in the first half!
That was some garbage basketball.
They are playing aggressive and confident in Norman. We are playing catch up and sloppy in our house. We caught up when they sped up the tempo. We need to use manyangs size on Ibeh and Buddy needs to get going. If Buddy doesn’t pull his head out we will lose to Texas and Kansas.
This could very well be an overreaction on my part, but I feel fairly confident in saying if OU loses this game they’ve all but eliminated their chances of winning the Big 12.
Premature, IMO
Is it? If they lose tonight, they’ll be two games behind WVU and have lost a home game (plus a terrible road loss). Something KU & WVU aren’t likely to do
True. But we still have games versus both. It would certainly be an uphill battle but not insurmountable in this league.
Don’t think that is overreacting.
It’s so close right now every game matters.
Not an overreaction. I felt that way after the KSU loss. You have to beat the lower teams.
Far too much “hero ball” tonight on offense.
How did we go from playing championship BB to sloppy crap?
Team goes as Buddy goes.
Disagree. Team goes as Spangler goes. He’s uninvolved… Then it’s a bunch of jump shots
Okay, we’ll go with your answer. 🙂
You don’t have to… Just saying he makes it hum. Especially with our pisspoor rebounding
Time for Buddy to go on a 12-0 run.
28% from the field? WTF
We will start hitting shots, just need to focus in on defense. We should play AK some because their big man is too much for Lattin.
That old saying “live by the 3, die by the 3”.
Additionally, OU doesn’t play very good half court offense. Much better in uptempo.
Ok guys get it together and put the cows in their proper place!
Of course that guy was 5-15 shooting 3’s all year.
+1
needed that
Buddy is about to go for 20 this half… I’m calling it now
Um how is that not a travel!??!?!
Basketball afficienados, why are we deviating from running the off thru Spangler around the FT line like we normally do?
He’s is 0 for his last million from 3.
Not the 3, we usually put him in that spot and pick, pass thru him, etc
He usually picks and pops from that spot, but he has shot so poorly that he isn’t a threat so his man can fade and stop the drive or jump the pick.
10-4
Come on, Buddy. We can get that shot at any time. Run the damn offense.
Need to take advantage of this, Texas has come out cold!
finally starting to wake up? (fingers crossed)
At least we made them take a TO. progress
Hmm they get running and Texas doesn’t have a chance to get their defense set. What a concept. We happen to be one of the best transition teams. Wow
Gotta make them miss and grab the board first.
OU wants to be a 4 seed
And you want to be a porn star. Sometimes things don’t work out for obvious reasons.
And I am your dad what’s your point?
That’s the best you got? Sad. Later little man. Get back to halo.
My little bastard
And nothing creative or new from u here. Are you in the fetal position sucking that thumb after ur Whorns lost?
U make SD look good u pathetic excuse for a troll. Bye!
Did K State do to Hield what Kansas did to Cousins? If so, we are in for a rough few games until he gets back on track
Dont understand how we can shoot so well for 20 games and then get so cold. Frustrating.
We need Buddy.
Should be a T on Prince.
Going on 25 minutes of game time and OU still yet to have a single guy in double digits
Silly technicals. Why?
Is Manyang even dressed out? Someone help me figure out why he came to OU?
Texas’ 7-footer killing you, so keep your 7-footer on the bench. Makes sense.
Our 7-footer isn’t very good.
Only way he’s ever going to get better is by playing
It’s what I’ve been saying.
They need to get Buddy the ball in transition.
terrible call
Horrible goaltending call
15 seconds in lane there
GO IN!!!!!!
Have we tried buying baskets?
We need a go fund me page.
That’s a Pitino and Calipari tactic.
I’ve bought shots before.
Have any to share right now?
Pretty soon if we don’t win this damn game.
damn, that looked scary for Ibeh
Buddy can’t buy a 3
Can’t afford for Hield to slump.
Getting a freaking rebound. Stop selling out to block
All Buddy is doing is hanging around the 3 pt line. Needs to try to create inside.
We need to stop letting Spangler switch on guards. Need him under the boards.
This

Hey, Esco. Marvin Wilson interested in OU?
yes
Have you seen him live? Is he as good as advertised?

Texas believed to be the favorite, but they just took four DTs in 2016 so….

We live and die with the 3 pt shot. When guys aren’t hitting, we have no inside game.
That’s a terrible call!
of f’ing course
of f’ing course
BS!
OU NEVER gets the same home cokking the other B12 teams get. Screw this conference.

I love how it was the official on the Texas sideline who came in to change that call…
from 40 feet away

The furthest guy from the play…

You definitely live and die by the 3. Man.
The problem is our inside presence keeps getting in foul trouble in this trash conference.

I really can’t stand mush mouth. Retire dude.
He’s flashing horns up. Have to mute.

Nut cuttin’ time.

Woodard has been on the bench a long time.
Why on earth is Walker out there? Come on Lon!

They better find a way to pull this game out… gonna need a lot of help to win the big 12 if you lose this game
It appears we’re both mentally and physically fatigued, sloppy errors and out hustled all night

It is tough when 4 out of your 5 starters are struggling all at the same time.

We never get home cooking! We can’t even get a good called game. Refs spotted them 5 with goaltending and out of bounds call.
How did we score only 22 in the first!? That proves we either don’t have an inside game or just don’t try one.
It’s both, actually

Please little baby Jesus.
f me
Terrible def Buddy
So jumping straight up is a foul now. Mmmmmkay
FINALLY
Bail em out Buddy
Oh, and opponents are getting in the paint waaaay to easy, geez
They obviously picked these officials up off the sidewalk in Austin
Why in the world would you not put Lattin back in!?
He’ll come in now.
4 fouls
Yes, but with the time left and the ease that saxet is driving, is a little too late
Buford’s been playing well, though.
He has been terrible all game. Buford has played much better.
Buford playing well
Offense liability
He shoots free throws like a 40% guy
Hack-a-Ibeh.
Don’t tempt the refs to call fouls. They will
Squeeze the lane fellas
Jeez. How about some solid defense & rebounding to finish. Too many easy shots for ut
Come on make it count.
WIN THIS S#$%
🙂 I prefer b!tch lol
I was just waiting for that bs Taylor threw up to go in
V-Neck Brent, show that tie pimp
Run the pick and roll w/ Buddy and Isaiah.
When you are ice cold, drive at them… Pretty basic
I’ll take a win with FT’s if that’s what it takes.
D UP
Thank god we can hit FT’s
Adversity is good for the soul
Not for the heart doe
Ain’t that good
Beer is better.
Anticipation calls. A B12 specialty.
No doubt
what a bail out call!
Taylor has had way too many ISO opportunities against a post player.
Get a frigging rebound
Gotta get a rebound here
WE GOT A CALL!!!
Thank you Mr. Official!
Thank you suck a$$ big 12 refs
1 out of 75 ain’t bad.
Uhh…? Boomer?
buddy time
Lay in please… Lay in.
Glad they called it, but dudes been doing that all night.
Yes he has.
It took Buford flopping to get them to see it
Just like that kid for OSU…he was driving at OU guys that were giving ground and getting the calls. Thank goodness that one went the way of the good guys.
No offense but not Spangler
I think Shaka needs a tech for good measure.
Set play coming off a TO…surely this wont go wrong, amirite?
Let Buddy or Isaiah take this shot.. No one else
Cousins part two
15 seconds, don’t rush
Don’t score too quickly and leave them with a chance. But site first
BUDDY!!!
Buckets! Or Clutch! You decide! BOOMER!!
WOW!
YEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaaaaw!!!!!!!
Boom.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FU TEXAS
Jeeeeeeeeeez wow
WOW!
Buddy! When it counts the most!
Hold em here damnit!
Buddy Time!!
wow..nice
<——– !!!
Pooooor Texass!
Bite your tongue! 😉
Clutch!
Hallelujah Hield!!! ; )
Just foul Ibeh.
Oh, hey Buddy.
I love you all, well some of you anyhow. 🙂
I tolerate you as much as I can.
It’s ok, you are on my “love like a sister” list anyway. 🙂
You’re like the step-brother I never wanted.
Love yo too… Pours a drink…
Buddy’s mama is about to go all Pentecostal up there in the stands lol
She was for sure. Lol
A good ole Longhorn castration
Their mascot ain’t a steer for nothin’!
Put someone on inbounds. JFC
Inbounder can’t score…..just defend perimeter.
Not with 1.3 and have to go full court.
Edit…sorry, was agreeing with you. On tablet, hit the wrong reply link.
Disagree. You challenge that pass. Make him work. Put in your 7fter or Lattin & work it
Whee. Much closer than it needed to be. But I’ll take it!
Just because once wasn’t enough… FU TEXAS
Wow just wow. He finally gets one to fall.
Could we please get our shot back so I don’t have a heart attack every game for the rest of the season!?
No freaking kidding.
Find Woodard. Lord. Talk about Mia
2 games in a row. Need him back.
Pronto
Thank god for FT’s. Gotta get this shooting thing turned around though
I’m more concerned with rebounding
^^^^ truth
We been giving up lots of offensive rebounds all year. Lot easier to absorb when we shoot 47% from 3 though lol
Yeah but rebounding might be their downfall
We were top 5 in the country in boards as of a few games ago..Must be the pace we play, because it sure dosent feel like we are a great rebounding team.
No. Mr ESPN. It is NOT like Billy Tubbs loud.
nothing like billyball……really miss it
They have no idea
BUDDY! BUDDY! BUDDY!
Not about quantity but quality! Big time players make those plays! Boomer
Good thing our next game is a cake walk.
Lol!
We have to get it LOUD in the LNC! Like Thunder playoffs loud
BOOM and texsa Sucks!!!! BUDDY. That is all. ‘Cept Buddy doesn’t interview real good, but BOOM!!!
Buddy talks fast… Might of said too much when asked what time he got to the gym this morning.
About online classes???
Yes. Happy he added that part at the end. It seemed awkward for a second. Maybe just me though. That game was intense.
I agree. The sentence started out a little scary. Man he does talk too fast for us southerners though!
You can’t post or spell worth a crap either. Ha!
I know it.
Gnite everyone. BOOMER!
SOONER!
SOOONERRR !!!!!!!!
SOONER!
BOOM down goes the cows!
LMAO
In football, they’d call Buddy’s 3-pointer a “Heisman Moment”. I guess in BB it’s a “Wooden Moment”. Either way, he’s the POY.
So I’ll be in Austin for the rematch. I’ll try not to break anything. .. But I am for a good throw down
When drinking, take advantage of the rent-a-wheelchair. 😉
Wear high top lacers! ???
I better bring waders for all the bs from big 12 refs
No ER trips or urgent care visits for you.
Some of the younger guys like Buford and James played well tonight. The play of Buford on the push-off at the end was huge.
Buddy Hield#Reggie Miller#Robert Horry#the guy I don’t like from Duke
That was cold-blood, ice water in the veins, grandkids story stuff. Not saying he’ll ever be on the same level but I remember Durant hitting that exact shot a few days ago.
I had to dvr the game so I just got finished watching and halfway through the 2nd half I was prepared to say this was Buddy’s worse game since he was a Freshman but Buddy Buckets showed up and Texas could not stop him down the stretch. Great game and Smart is going to have Texas hard to in the next couple years!
Whew!!!
Buddy Buddy Buddy! His name was cheered throughout the land of the red clay. He was a man who became legend.
