Beer I've got
I'll take some pizza, though. Anyone volunteer to go out in the damn icy rain to get it?

How about some

Slick but passable
In response to you question on the other post. I'm in Stillwater about to head over to GIA. There is about 3 to 4 inches of ice on the ground. The roads aren't great but they are passable. As of a few hours ago the game wasn't a sell-out. Thus my ability to snag a few tickets.

Keep in mind that OSU hasn't played since getting hammered by Kansas almost a week ago and it could be a non-sell out late arriving crowd because of the weather.

Look for me on TV. I'll be the guy with the OU hat on!

Thanks Matt
Maybe the late arriving crowd will never arrive. Maybe they will think better of attending due to hazardous road conditions and watch on TV instead. Maybe, but probably not.

CBS Sportsline has an article up about Durant. Not bad. Basically it says KD is showing what supreme talents like Kobe, Lebron, etc could have done had they gone to college.

Aaron Gray
Damn, if Connor was HALF the player Aaron Gray was, we'd be a national championship contender.  I know, Gray is 2 inches taller and 45 pounds heavier, but he's got the same frame and should have the same skills.

Heck, I'd settle for Levon Kendall-type skills at this point.

UConn and Texas
Watching this UConn game, I think it important to point the great job that Rick Barnes has done this year.

UConn lost their top seven guys. Texas lost six of their top seven guys. UConn is playing with basically all sophomores and freshman. The same for the Horns.

Yet, Jim Calhoun knew his team would need time to develop. They played a cupcake schedule early and tried to build confidence. They are coming around but not there yet. Rick Barnes didn't back down and challenged his young team early with out of conference matchups in New York, with Gonzaga, with LSU, and with Tennessee. We have already seen the benefits. Great job Rick.

Two things
  1. I hate this part where you have to watch the final minute and a half of some game you care nothing about while you wait to get to the tip of the Texas game. Dickie V screaming is not helping.
  2. Voting is CLOSED on the Enemy first round matchups. Your winners: Kellen Heard, Sooner Mom, Eric Pederson, and Merril Hoge. No upsets. I think we got the right four.

The nation can wait
I hear we have a pretty good freshman that I should watch.  Full disclosure: I haven't seen a game this season except for about 5 minutes of the LSU game. But I am going to Philly to see the Nova game on Saturday so I figured I should watch us play. Plus I keep reading how KD can dunk from halfcourt ...

Keys to the Game
From the preview:
  1. Control the tempo. The faster the better.
  2. Stay out of foul trouble (especially KD and James).
  3. Start quickly and limit crowd's effect on the game.
  4. Win the battle from behind the arc. Control Harris, Eaton, and James on defense while knocking down some on the other end to keep the OSU defense from collapsing on Durant.
Hook 'Em.

OSU 38-36 at half
Both teams shot over 50% in the first half. But Texas was hurt on the boards and with turnovers. We can't turn the ball over eight times in a half on the road against a good team and expect to lead/win.

Also, we have to slow down Curry and Boggan. Both had solid first halves.

Barnes stole some minutes with our limited bench in the first half. Texas would be wise to push the ball as much as possible in the second half.

Solid halves by KD and James.

First half notes
  1. This is a true Big 12 basketball test for our young team. It's been a war in the first half, and won't get any easier in the second.
  2. I know Rick's got good intentions with trying to steal minutes with the second-tier guys, but if he wants to leave G-Iba with a win, he's gonna need to push the starters to their limit.
  3. EVERYONE must do better rebounding. Good news is that we've been a better second half rebounding team this year.
