OU did kind of meltdown, but they really weren't a bad team. If you trust kenpom, they were a better team than 6 teams in the B1G and 4 in the ACC. And they were even better than that when Woodard was healthy.

They're going to go up no doubt, but I don't think it's going to be a team weakness, just not the strength it used to be. I think Prohm's offensive schemes kind of limit turnovers by themselves. because the ball stays in the hands of your best ball handlers most of the time. There isn't much wasted effort on offense.
No doubt. We liked last year's senior class because they were effin really good.
Lost 7 games in conference/Big 12 Tournament by 6 points or less. Had 5 double digit losses including 4 by 23 or more points.
I'm not too worried about it. Lots of new faces plus some guys expected to contribute didn't play. Prohm will figure things out. Sounds like they got out healthy, which is really all that matters with the secret scrimmages.
Lard being a rim protector would ease a lot of the other problems this team is going to have. And it sounds like everyone can run the floor. Transition points will be a big deal this year while they find their scorers.
I was expecting him to show some rebounding and defending abilities. What I wasn’t sure about is his offensive game at this point so it’s exciting to see him put up 13 points in 18 minutes
If he is really active rebounding and makes himself available for driving guards, he could definitely pick up some points consistently.
I added the first heart rating to this post to complete the full set, what does he win?
Agreed. Future is incredibly bright. If this year does end up being a rebuilding year, the light at the end of the tunnel is REALLY bright.
I don’t remember a year in which there’s so little to be sure about.
Watching Lard in the very brief glimpses we’ve had, he looked to have potential on offense with a good shot and fluid movements. At the very least he should be able to get McKay type buckets.
We make up things to worry about. Post Kane & Ejim it was, "Could Monte run a team?"
He could.
I think we need Talley or NWB to play close to Clyburn level 15 & 7 (or combine for close to it) this year for us to be good. I don't think that will happen, which will leave us as a bubble/NIT team. Hopefully I'm wrong though.
If we had added a Kane transfer this offseason and returned two All-Big 12 caliber players I’d feel better right now. Speaking of that team, it was apparent right away that they were good.We make up things to worry about. Post Kane & Ejim it was, "Could Monte run a team?"

I think it’s likely it takes us too long to become a good team, at least in regards to making the tournament.
I think this team will take a couple hits early but hit their stride about 3/4 through the season and will be ranked around 14 in the AP poll.
We actually had 73 shots (FG + FT, since 3PT is already part of FG) and Nebraska had 85.
What the heck is a Kane transfer? We have three grad transfers to be exact and we know about as much about them as we did Kane. Except they probably shot better than Kane’s 20 sum percent from three.. you just never know
