This might get to 40….

With a young team, this loss can go one of two ways. Hope the vets regroup the team and CNO gets their attention

Hope this doesn’t turn into Auburn 2022, from #1 to out in the first round

Need to empty the bench. Don’t let the starters get hurt.

This is too good of a team to fall apart. I'm thinking they will regroup and get back to business.

Is CB hurt?

I know he doesn’t have the mindset to play these thugs.

 

[Richtide]

If they are going to call touch fouls we should just hammer the living stew out of them

I've never liked these large conference vs. conference tournaments. They favor the home teams too much. We would still be losing a close game right now, but nothing like what is playing out. There's too much interest in the overall results relative to strength of conference to call them straight up. To be fair, we benefitted from playing Baylor at home last year too, and case in point today is what Missouri is doing to Iowa St at Columbia right now. If they want to do a day-long slate of four games at one neutral site with impartial refs, that might be fun, but this is just no good.

Tells you a lot when they say OU coaching staff was very confident watching film coming into this game. Seems like our staff watched no film. Makes you really question the coaching and our chances in the postseason. You have to be able to scout and plan well.

 

[AlexanderFan]

Already had Kansas at #2 in that graphic.

 

[AlexanderFan]

Calling hand grabs now?

I think this about the time of season when we start to wonder if all the tough early games are wearing down the team, especially given how much we’re relying on freshmen.

Didn't see this coming when I woke up this morning. Bigger games ahead and we'll get back to trying to win an SEC title Tuesday night.

 

[Richtide]

This OU team lost by 27 to TCU their last game. Smh. Coaches did not have this team in the right mindset. Thought we could just show up. Next week will be very important for the rest of the season.

Plus you are in rhythm of playing your conference schedule. Match ups matter a ton and I get that you are going to have to adjust when the ncaas start.

But at least then, if you’ve gotten a high seed you have a pretty good chance of getting your feet wet and adjusted in that first round game.

This break in the middle of the schedule has never really been that good to us, except last season, when we were the home underdogs as you point out.

We’ve just got to flush this out of our system quickly and let no trends start from this game.

 

[CrimSonami]

This is far worse. At least our offense was working.

Hence the “compounded by the zebras” statement. They allowed the lopsided mugging.

 

[bamamc1]

Keep the faith. A lot more ball to play this year. RTR

 

[BAMAVILLE]

Ehh it happens unfortunately with college basketball. They've been playing a tough road thus far, so bound to lose a few along the way.

 

[Rolltidegirl205]

After the close win last game I noticed the kids weren't satisfied, I think that shows how badly they want to win. Just a bump in the road today, I trust CNO will fix it. Let's hope for a deep run in march. RTR

 

[Bama Shoals]

We just got beat by 24 by a team that’s 2-6 in their conference and 12-9 overall. They could have named their score. Based on the last two games, we are not a top 10 team right now. Lots of soul searching and work needs to be done. Let’s see how good Oats and staff really are.
