I’m pretty nervous about this game. So far the Big 12 hasn’t stacked up well against Top 10 opponents.
I’d like to see better perimeter play from the Sooners on both offense and defense because that has been a bit of a struggle when they face a zone. They also have a tendency of getting sucked in on defense and when teams move the ball well they find open shots from the perimeter. I’m also curious to see if Cade Davis gets the start today.

So far
it’s the “Blake Griffin Show”
Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.

I knew it would be
The Sooners will only go as far as Blake Griffin goes. Heaven help them if he gets hurt.

Off the Tracks Purdue persepctive...
1st TV timeout. Oklahoma is too quick for us right now. We’re not securing the ball on what should be easy rebounds. Our own shots need to start falling. Blake Griffin is everything as advertised.

Speaking of OU basketball
there was a piece on ESPN yesterday on Waymon Tisdale. I had no idea about him losing his leg to cancer.

Yeah, that was a sad deal
But he is doing very well with it.

I'm going to wear out my clicker
OU basketball, CU/Neb football, and the Avalanche hockey game (I’m in Denver)
Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.

OU
needs to get a little more in control. Jacking 3’s off balance..not getting in position on D

Maybe I should go out and hang more lights!

Nasty run

I am completely shocked
We’re actually out-rebounding you. That is stunning.

I'm avoiding working on some accounting
and I’m thinking I should….just to break up the luck

OU is going to have to heat up from outside
to loosen things up inside.

Warren giving us some good minutes now

OU Down by 4 at the half
I can live with that!

This is a great game
I am really surprised that we’re getting what we are getting from Lewis Jackson and Nemanja Calasan. I know many Purdue fans are using this as a litmus test for Due Tuesday night.

Warren is a stud...
I think he was just named mayor of West Lafayette with that fake

Dang!
I went back outside to do some more work! I’ve got to get my timing down.

Ah but cc
When you go outside they do well but when you come inside………..just saying:)

those 9 missed freethrows would be nice on the scoreboard

I would like to see what percentage Purdue is shooting, they can't miss
by Sooner Vince on Nov 28, 2008 4:43 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
2 missed layups negated with that hustle....we need 2

Hopefully our depth comes to play here.

24 of 36 at the line is the stat that stands out
this should be over.

Purdue does not miss mid-range jumpers

To be fair
Nemanja Calsan is playing maybe his best game as a Boilermaker.

You got to make your free throws in the Garden?
You got to make your free throws in any arena.

You can't be that stupid with the ball in this situation
They have to learn from these mistakes

Alright Cade
Could we please have two made free throws?

Sooners are going to win this game
Impressive win considering the missed FT

Great resiliency from the Sooners. I thought we had it and you took it back

It was a fantastic game!

my pleasure
make us look good now by winning the Big 12. I wouldn’t mind a rematch in Detroit.

You said it earlier CC
They have to learn from these early games on several levels.
Free throws, taking care of the ball, against Davidson the could have put them away early and then played too loose and lazy.
It’s a long season but I like where we stand at this point.

You are right
This is going to be a fun basketball season. It may give us some ulcers but fun anyway

10-4
now I have to find something to do.
I refuse to watch football on a blue field.
Later.
