OU vs VCU

[bcsoonerfan]

Lookout!

This looks like the Sooners of early season.

This lob from Spangler to Lattin is a nice addition offensively that has to be a reaction to the pressure Buddy receives.

Dam, this is a track meet! Geeeeezuzzzz

 

[bcsoonerfan]

30-25 OU

3 isn't there so far especially for Buddy and VCU made a run with their best offensive player Lewis. Not unexpected. Settle down and go inside.

 

[bcsoonerfan]

Sooners by 8 under 4 min.

Hield with 2 fouls on the bench and not shooting well. Cousins immediately picks up the slack with steal, layup and 'and 1' free throw make.

Woodard and Cousins getting it done.

Sooners dominating the boards.

Buddy will be big in the second half. Outstanding play with Buddy on the bench.

Not much production from our back-ups. That said, we are winning nearly all the major stats thus far.

44-31 Sooners at the half.

Great play considering we could barely make a 3.

Strong defense. Aggressive rebounding. Lots of intensity.

 

[bcsoonerfan]

Strong start for VCU

 

[fortworth4ou2]

Cousins stinking up the joint offensively and defensively to start the 2nd half. Figures he would not look for Buddy.

He had a wide open 7 footer that he air balled and clanged the 3 pointer. Then Lewis blows by him for an easy lay-up.

Cousins fashions himself to be another Oscar Robertson. Bad news.

Cousins grabs a chunk of bench and we go on a scoring run.

Lead down to 3 and we can't stop Lewis from getting in the paint.

 

[fortworth4ou2]

VCU can't miss right now and we can't rebound. We're not looking to go to a set play for Buddy. It's the Cousins show. He's 0-4 in the 2nd half including 0-3 from the arc.

Woodard had the right idea to go the basket and he was explosive in this half before foul trouble.

We need to stop with the one-on-one approach. Move the ball around! Need to start securing rebounds too.

 

[WP76]

VCU runs are killing us. If we don't hit the offensive glass this half, it's going to be a long offseason.

 

[bcsoonerfan]

Lewis is breaking down our defense and its had us out of sorts all half.

Buddy with a huge 3 to put us back in front.

Why is it that below average 3 point shooters always seem to turn into Reggie Miller against us?

 

[bcsoonerfan]

Buddy does it again.

 

[fortworth4ou2]

Buddy time!!!!! Buddy's in charge!

Boomer Sooner

 

[packersooner]

Need to make free throws from here on out.

 

[fortworth4ou2]

A lot of ticky-tack fouls have been called on both sides since this half began. FT shooting down the stretch will be critical the way the game is being called. Advantage to neither side.

[fortworth4ou2]

Wow!! Thank you Buddy!!!!!!!!!

Boomer Sooner

 

[packersooner]

Whew!

 

[bcsoonerfan]

An unbelievable second half by Buddy.

Player of the year. No question.

 

[barkingwater2000]

Buddy is really just a great player. Can't wait for Thursday

 

[Sooners83]

was very concerned about this game. Needless to say VCU has a very good team. I guess they missed a bunch of 3's, but it surely didn't seem like it...wow!

Is that your good luck post? Swore that I've seen it twice before about different players. Did it work the first two times?

We've certainly had some deja vu the last half the season.

Fun game to watch. Lots of players holding on to the bottom of their trunks in exhaustion during free throws (read somewhere that was a sign of guys being wiped).

Buddy is something else, great clutch player, beautiful step-back jumper. Reminds me of Curry on a college level. He'll do well with a team like the Warriors.
