MBB v 5-1 Oklahoma

Can't get behind 5-0 at the tip. Lost by 3
Diong travel when he was 8 feet from basket by himself was terrible. Ended up not mattering. When they were up late they were stalling. If it was close they wouldn’t have done that. We needed a 3 and the guy at end shoots a layup instead of passing it back out.
 
Wasn’t there. The stats look terrible. Walker barely played. Reynolds didn’t touch the court. Can’t say I like what I see from the stats but maybe Oklahoma was making us play like we did.
 
Was at the game, Walker got in foul trouble early that really hampered him but he definitely made an impact when he was out there. Oklahoma had a couple of different stretches when their defense smothered us and we couldn’t score or get off a decent shot. Greene and Perry hit some big shots to keep us in it. Oklahoma rebounded a lot better than us.

Reynolds isn’t playing much this year. Diong gets the most minutes. Can’t remember the backup that didn’t play the first few games but is playing a little bit now.
 
Amazing atmosphere for a Thanksgiving Saturday game. We played tough, but got behind half way through the second half and couldn't pull our way out. This is the most athletic & skilled team we have ever been. If you dont have season tickets you owe it to yourself to check out a game.
 
I was at the game. Too many turnovers, missed shots, and missed free throws at the end. Oklahoma defense was tough. UCF had a chance to tie in final 15 seconds, but I don't even know what kind of play they called, no look for a 3 pointer so they go for a lay up and down 3?!? Fun game regardless and was neat to be on campus on such a beautiful weather day. But, I hate losing. Go Knights.

I certainly don’t claim to be a basketball wizard but I think everyone watching knew we needed to put up a 3 point shot with the final few seconds ticking away! The last second layup attempt was literally pointless!
We have a lot of talent and experience on this team so I was dumbfounded that they couldn’t figure out a way to get off a 3 point attempt. Even a contested attempt is better than no attempt at all!

If we went for a layup right away I could see it. He waited for 3 seconds left which was an error by him. He should have passed it back out for a last shot 3. I’m guessing he panicked and saw he was alone under basket.

Too easy to scapegoat one play or one player. We had a good game except for that drought in the 2nd half.

I was super happy to see Tony Johnson Jr. He had a breakout Freshman year. Then was injured his Sophmore year. And only played a total of 5 minutes this year. He provided a spark in the game, and played 12 minutes.

We have so much depth, talent, and athleticism. I like that coach Dawkins is going with the hot hand.
 
Seemed to me that the final play was to get Green a 3 point attempt from the corner but he had two guys covering him and that's when the layup attempt happened. Sometimes things go poorly. Good game all the same.

Yes but after it broke down pass it back out.
