AJ misses first three,

Mason hits from three. 3-2 Horns.

ESPN 2 HD is blacked out...

... because we're in Texas, where sucky non-HD ESPN+ is handling coverage.  I am enraged.  If I lived in Alaska, I could watch in HD, but not in Texas, where I care.

11-6 OU, under 16

DJ doing a nice job getting into the lane. Has found Connor and James already.

D is lacking, though.

D looked good...

not a great start

settling for 3's, missing them, not rebounding.

getting schooled in the paint on defense.  Rick needs to do some rotating or make some adjustments.

13-12 OU, under 12 timeout

Nice find there by Mason after his shot was blocked out of bounds on the previous try.

OU cold from three and Horns doing decent job on long rebounds. As long as Sooners stay cold from three, Texas will be able to sit in zone and limit Griffin's touches.

I am sure this has been covered before, but...

Why are so many Big 12 games in football and basketball not in HD.  Does this have to do with Big 12's TV contract or are there not enough viewers or is it some HD blackout within Texas so fans go to the games?  

It is very annoying.

I was really impressed by Wingman his last basket

If he continues to develop like he is, he will be tough to handle for any team.  Tipping the ball off the backboard and putting it back with two opposing players that already have position on you is just sick.

by UTAth on Mar 15, 2008 1:37 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Glad to see

that the Horns haven't really played that well and are still up 1.  If the defense is tightened up, they can go on a nice little run here.

Kind of suggests that as well.  Shorted the first one.

James had me worried the most...

He was huffing more than anyone on the floor during Oklahoma's free throws.  After seeing him hit that last 3 though, his form looked solid.

Even with Atch in

Unless we get Longar or Grif in foul trouble.  I don't really like Atch on Longar and James on Griffin.  The zone helps, but if they heat up and we have to switch to man - not match-ups I'm a fan of.

by DisplacedTexan on Mar 15, 2008 1:44 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Too many offensive rebounds

Seven for the Sooners so far.  This is unacceptable.

29-26 Texas, under four timeout

James and DJ have come to play again. AJ has hit two threes but all our bigs are in foul trouble and we're having trouble on the defensive glass.

Time for Mason and James to get more involved on the glass. Switching out of zone to man will help some as well.

Pittman

is too slow and too quick to jump on every ball fake. As long as Wingman keeps playing like this, we won't see Dex. Chap in foul trouble is an issue though.

no need to play Pittman w/ the way Wingman is playing.  Just figured Barnes might try to buy a minute or two with Big Dex.

Looks like James has been working on his FT stroke as he's been shooting much better the past few games.

36-29 at half

Nice half by the Horns. The zone really frustrated the Sooners. Their best offense was a missed shot, similar to the first half against OSU. OU was just 2/9 from three.

DJ looks confident and is shooting the ball well. He does have a couple of turnovers though. James is playing at a high level again and Mason has a couple of nice assists. AJ has arrived in KC and hit three first half threes. We really needed his production. Connor and Alexis doing all they can against the talent Blake Griffin.

still need to do a better job on the defenseive glass, but another half like that and we will move on.

He has been indeed....

You can tell the Oklahoma interior D is staying at home when DJ drives.  DJ's ability to find the open man should provide for some nice open shots.

by UTAth on Mar 15, 2008 1:57 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Solid first half - reminded me of yesterday some

We started out a little flat but picked it up near the end of the half.  I hope everything works out the same as yesterday when we came out strong on a 12-0 run to start the 2nd half.  

Wingman needs to keep his intensity up and AJ needs to hit his open shots.  James wasn't getting much help on the boards and had to basically try and block out two people much of the 1st half.  If we correct the defensive rebounding situation we should be looking at another solid win.

UNC

losing to va tech almost halfway into the 2nd half. if duke wins the acc tourney could unc miss out on a number 1 seed?

by HornFan124 on Mar 15, 2008 1:56 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Absolutely

If Duke or UNC win the ACC, then they will get the #1 in the East. If they were to both lose and Georgetown wins tonight, look out. Both Duke and UNC could end up on the #2 line. Long way to go though.

Right now:
#1s: Tenn, Memphis, UCLA, UNC
#2s: Duke, Kansas, Texas, Georgetown

--AW--

by awiggo on Mar 15, 2008 1:58 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think

that if both Duke & UNC both lose in the ACC tourney, then Texas/Kansas (assuming one of them wins the Big 12) could bump up the the #1 line.

The longer Dex can stay in the game, the better it wears on the opposition. This particular situation is well suited for him playing. Make them work for any inside shots, which is discouraging.

Nice Dex!

Ugly but nice.

Go boom, mothers. Please, just go boom.

300-pound elbows of steel.

With a big smile in the middle.

Lets go Dexy

Our bench players are really schizophrenic. I thought Wangmene became a rotational player, and then he barely gets any playing time if at all in the final games of the regular season.

Then Dexy barely gets any playing time and then both he and Wingman get big minutes in the OU game. Maybe it's just about the matchups.

I suspect the two Griffins and L2

force the usage, saving fouls on the starters and giving more mass in the paint. Possibly a prelude to teams Horns might encounter with big front line.

Horns Advance 77-49

Dominating second half by Texas. Strong first half performances from DJ, AJ, and Damion. Nice help off the bench by Dex and Alexis.

Abrams wins the "NAVY Defender of the Game" award. Who'd have thunk it?

Rick to AJ: Stop thinking.

It's an intuitive game, not a rational one on the floor.

Looking forward to the...

next few years of Sexy Dex vs. Blake Griffin...talk about tradin' paint.

Solid win...gotta think the Sooners ran out of gas...3 game, 3 days.

Still wondering why Barnes left the starters in there so long...seems like you could have rested them from the five minute mark.

Lasly, where's the love for Ian "you're so" Mooney, what about a little PT for the walk-on...I know, probably saving him for KU.

Be nobody but yourself in a world that desperately wants you to be like everybody else.

May not have much to look forward to

Blake Griffin is a first round pick if he comes out now. I have thought that he was likely to come back so that he could play with his brother for another year. But after two knee surgeries this season, he could easily decide to turn pro now and cash the biggest check he can.

Even if he does come back, next year will be his last.

Win the Tournament

I still can't believe I was reading on here a few days ago that the Horns would benefit from losing!? and even come nutty suggestions of not starting A.J.

I want to win every game and do it with our best players on the floor.

Hook 'em and beat Kansas again!
