OU's only PG who normally plays (Uzan) has 2 fouls. Lets see if Day Day can work over their third string PG on D.

Call timeout way too sloppy even they score

Offense has been really bad since the first eight minutes

Offense has gone to sh-t since we went up 18-5.

No doubt.....is there a snow storm in Oklahoma or something? Haven't seen this many empty seats at a Bearcats basketball game since our last trip to East Carolina.

Grabbed OU +6.5. Feeling EXTREMELY confident in that.

Wes refuses to call timeouts and settle his team down. A second consecutive awful segment. What is he seeing that I am not seeing? A coaching staff has to be able to recognize when plays starts to slip. I think a lot of this is self inflicted as Wes kills his own momentum with subs and then struggles to find it again. Wes desperately needs better on court players and leaders and I hope he gets them.

Somehow going to be losing at halftime aren’t they?

Sometimes this team really a Lahkin in there. It's just gets way to wild out there.

Unbelievable, staff is asleep at the wheel. This half is a perfect exhibition on why Wes Miller has to get better at managing a game. How do you not use a timeout in the first half? How do you just allow sloppy play for the final three segments. Who is the leader on the bench to settle the guys down?

Oklahoma is playing terrible and losing to them again would be disappointing considering their roster situation.

It's absolutely maddening how careless this team is with the ball. It's almost unwatchable at times.

Calling a timeout doesn’t magically make the team play better lol

This team is just not to be taken seriously. And the joke is on anybody who tries to take them seriously.

I’m starting to have some doubts if Skillings will ever take the next step or if he’s just gonna be an athlete first, basketball player sometimes.

Why? To smack a wide open 3 off the backboard???

Just makes ya sick that they finally get off to a great start and just gives it all right back.

But the staff needs to show leadership even it’s just screaming at the guys to take care of the ball. The players and by extension this staff do not value the lead or possessions. They get sloppy and careless when for long stretches without fear of getting benched.

We are so inept offensively. Reynolds sometimes looks like he has never played basketball before. His size is often a liability not an asset. Skillings too often completely out of control, both on offense and on defense. Throws the ball away repeatedly. Bandaogo too often can be seen above the foul line, both on offense and defense. Needs to put his butt under the basket and stay there. Him guarding beyond the foul line has been going on all year, picking up dumb fouls, and that is on Wes!. Get his butt inside. We should be up 15 in this game but as usual we go 8 minutes without any offense except throw the ball up from three-point range. Horribly disappointing that we let Oklahoma back into this game even though the Sooners are playing poorly. We haven't improved as a team all year. We are the same team that lost to Xavier and Dayton and are 11th in the 14 team Big XII.

Oklahoma is favored by 5. We have guys out too. We're up 1 at the half.

Aziz and Jamille. 2 points. 5 turnovers.

Oklahoma only has to lock down one guy for us. It’s Simas or bust on offense
