Oakland v texas

Re: Oakland v texas

Combination of a comeback and a big fade by TX. I should have taken Memphis to beat them in the 2nd round.

2 guys on each team with double-doubles. Benson and Hudson for OU. OU shot 29 3's and only made 7. TX had 8 blocks.

With that surge OU saved a little face for the SL.

You mean Arizona. You should have picked Arizona to beat them.

Re: Oakland v texas

Wow Tristan Thompson at 3" shorter than Benson worked him over. Blocked 3 of his shots (that I counted) straight up. Benson was spoiled in the Summit, those little shots were never contended. Texas pretty much used and abused OU in the lane the whole first half.

I was surprised to see Hamiton's line at 10-19 and 25 points. There was awhile there when he was completely out of control.

The last sentence of yours I quoted was probably the most fitting one. Perfect example was the end of the first half. Reggie was running down the court out of control and turns the ball over. Coach is yelling for him one shot. Some of the drives in the lane and throw the ball to a spot you are hoping someone would be were driving me crazy too.

Benson might have hurt his draft stock a little bit. He was getting pushed around pretty easily. I was really expecting him to dominate more with the size advantage. Badar I thought played a pretty good game (esp. from what I watched in the first half). I didn't like their idea to let the dribbler have a free path away from the lane. They kept getting burned on the drive each time. Oakland did fight back to make the game close at the end. Nice year Oakland.

Re: Oakland v texas

So much for possibly the best Summitt League team ever. The Keith Benson era is over.

It would have been great to see them win over Texas. Can't stand the Longhorns!

Me thinks it would only be appropriate if the Jacks would be the first Summitt League team to get a W in the Big D!

This is the one part of the D1 transition that is tough for me. It is awesome to have the chance to be in the dance but the reality is that for a Summitt team to "make some noise" is highly unlikely as where at the D2 level it was possible. Not impossible though. Please don't get me wrong, I am all for the move and supported it before, during, and after transition. The focus needs to be winning the conference and the Big Dance is a bonus.

When the Jacks make it I will be there!!!

I was surprised to see Hamiton's line at 10-19 and 25 points. There was awhile there when he was completely out of control. He did get them back into it, though, and he had the 3 that was 3/4 of the way down and swirled back out when they were down 6 with under a minute to go. Needless to say, that would have been huge. Bader was pretty good in the first half and completely non-existent in the second. He couldn't even get off a 3. I think they blocked 3 of them. Texas had very good perimeter defense to contend most every 3 OU chucked up there.

Good fight to get back in it. I thought they were cooked when they got down 14. They looked completely beaten down and out. I thought I was drinking too much Summit kool-aid when I said they shouldn't have a problem keeping it inside of the 10 point line.

Nice game Grizzlies. Bad matchup.

Jacks turn next year.

Final TX 85, OU 81.

Came back, but from too far down.

Yep. Was worried there for awhile. Hence my Oakland hate earlier in this thread

Darn. Oakland needed to step on the gas a couple minutes earlier. Heckuva season for the Grizz. Summit League's rep wasn't hurt today.

Re: Oakland v texas

Somebody better quickly tell TX that if they lose this game their entire program is headed straight for the gutter. Stu says so....

Re: Oakland v texas

Add Larry Wright to the list.

KB not even on the floor.

Subbed him back in.

Re: Oakland v texas

1:22 to go and its a 5 pt game.

Re: Oakland v texas

He would have been exposed eventually.

Players more important to OU's success in this game:

Bader
Hamilton
The big white guy who's name I forgot

Add Larry Wright to the list.

Re: Oakland v texas

They just subbed KB out and the announcers just said that Kampe did it for the offense/defense.

It's never a good sign when you have to sub out your 6'11" NBA prospect center because he is a liability on D.
