Hot start... then went ice cold (1-12) now playing better.... teams trading points now. Crucial hot start tho. It might be a critical note to point out when Texas started up 13-3, we had 5 chances to extend lead and couldnt.
Yancy is going off. 5-5 FG 3-3 3pt. Ibeh playing solid with 6pts 5reb 2blks and some really smart post D. OU is stinking it up from the floor and somehow only down 3 with 2:30 to play
Great first half. Shaka giving Yancy the green light is genius. Totally surprised ou. Yancy had open looks and took advantage. If Horns can keep turnovers to a minimum in the 2nd half, they win. Their smothering defense will keep us in the game. Our O will score enough if the turnovers and defense continue at this high level, imho.
Love how they started but the offense needs to get rolling again. They missed a lot of drives to the hole and after that they got tentative, settling for off-balance threes and passing the ball around the perimeter. They won't win this game playing passive on offense. Go take this win!!
Those 5 missed lay ups ...We could have been up 20 at the half....But to be fair they missed a bunch of shots they usually make as well.
We've been coming out gangbusters in the first half for awhile with havoc and throwing teams off their game. 2nd half is a different story though. Our big minute first half guys come out a little gassed. But they seem to be getting more fit and able to run that tempo farther into the 2nd. I've heard Jay Bilas and Andy Katz both say no coach can game plan us if we consistently run 10 guys that can keep that oppressive tempo up for 2 halves and 3 or 4 guys score in double digits.
ou's run has put our guys on their heels. Need to keep taking it inside like Felix did a minute ago. Get the shot, or create the foul. Also, need to tighten the D back up.
And again! Another couple of missed chances by OU to grab the lead and Texas pushes it back. As resilient a group as I've seen in a long time here.
