Hoops team painful to watch

OU is blowing another one. TCU is on a 12-0 run to go up 6 after OU lead the first 36 minutes of the game. They just can't figure out how to close out a game.
 
They are a mess. We had these warriors last year, and this year, prima donna's who haven't come close to earning the status. There are multiple problems, but number one is the lack of any semblance of a point guard. Woodard is really a two guard, who is really short for a two. But OUr one's are lousy.

If we were an NBA team, at least we'd have a high draft choice to look forward to. We are relying on a bunch of unreliable guys.
 
The issue is talent. For whatever reason, Kruger can't get solid players to come to OU.
 
Well, when you consider the loss of Hield, Spangler and Cousins and that this team was picked to finish sixth in the conference, a let down should be expected. But losing six in a row and now we're into conference play, that projected sixth place finish looks highly doubtful. It's going to be a pretty road ahead, so strap on your seat belt and hang on!
 
Also the Pritchard decommitment is the thing that really hurt the most.
 
I predicted this team to grow stronger as the season progressed but that has been completely derailed with Woodard's absence.

I don't see prima donna behavior so I'll have to disagree with you there Plaino. I see a team that is struggling with consistency and a nobody to go to for a bucket when things get tough.

Going to be a tough year for sure with a stacked Big XII but you'll have to excuse me if I don't just toss the whole team out cause they've had some rough sledding.
 
This team isn't hurting for talent, it has loads of talent, but they're freshmen, what do you expect? Woodard being out is the difference because he was the go to guy, but next year looks bright. If you have watched every game this year, there is no way you can't see the talent on the court. This is by far the deepest team LK has ever had.

The talent is so good at the freshman level that Lattin wouldn't be a starter if I were the coach.
