OU vs. Hahvahd.

[Cyclonepride]

Down two to up nineteen in five minutes

 

[Prone2Clone]

The lead has grown almost as big as Buddy's overbite.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Also, I think that undefeated record will have our guys fired up to beat them. Huge opportunity to steal one right off the bat.

Sadly, I won't get to watch that one as its my wife's birthday and we have a full night planned.

Too bad Watch ESPN isn't real, you could watch on your phone.

She probably won't appreciate him doing that while taking her to pound town. I'm assuming that's what he means by "a full night planned."

 

[Cyclonepride]

Never, ever go for a Spangler shot fake.

 

[Prone2Clone]

Down to 8 with 8 to play

 

[Prone2Clone]

Buddy is a great player, but pretty sure he just took four steps on a drive to the basket.

 

[Rabbuk]

Spangler is more than 5 feet from the basket I'd invite him to shoot

 

[CloneZone13]

Too early to start the OU look-a-like thread? I'm ready to see pics of horsies!

 

[Cyclonepride]

I think you'd want to pound it inside all game. OU has very, very little post defense.

It won't take you that long to give her birthday "present" to her.

As far as the game I'd like to see OU come into it undefeated and hopefully just a little overconfident, I really doubt that they would look by us however.

So who on our team will likely get the defensive assignment on Buddy?

Probably start with Nader then go Matt when Nader shows he can't handle him.

Yep Lattimer is talented but raw and gets out of position Spangler gets his rebounds but looks slow footed as a defender (though he maybe told to avoid fouling thus letting some layups score due to their lack of post depth).
McKay should be smiling thinking about his matchup.
OU appears to be very 3 ball dependent other than some drives by Hield and Cousins. They don't run many plays in the paint.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Yeah, Matt is more sound at keeping with his guy. Nader is harder to shoot over but seems to go for fakes too often (or steals) and gets out of position.

Buddy isn't really a guy you stop though. Hold him under 20 and you're happy.

These two are who I was thinking too.

Ya I don't think OU would look past ISU bc they are still sour we took away their title hopes in the big12 tourney so.... But I as well feel they will come in overconfident and Iowa state could sneak one out. I will express too their home autmosphere sucks bc they are a FB school. So even with the ranking and undefeated streak they won't compare to Hiltons crowd noise.

 

[Beyerball]

Buddy is going to get his vs anyone..it's more important to shut down cousins and what's his name IMO.
