Not good, 3 boards already for Griffin and a 3-point play on an offensive rebound

by T-Mill on Nov 28, 2008 4:06 PM EST reply actions

You can't leave E'Twaun Moore that open!

1st TV timeout. Oklahoma is too quick for us right now. We're not securing the ball on what should be easy rebounds. Our own shots need to start falling. Blake Griffin is everything as advertised.

Lavin: Purdue is completely out of sync offensively. No truer words after three straight turnovers.

by T-Mill on Nov 28, 2008 4:18 PM EST reply actions

Too many threes this early. How are we this close? We're getting totally outplayed.

Come on Keaton, you know better. They call the chicken wing like that all the time.

Very nice jumper there LewJack, up 1 now, 8:55 left

by T-Mill on Nov 28, 2008 4:28 PM EST reply actions

Good ball fake and short jumper by Robbie. That's just a great play.

by T-Mill on Nov 28, 2008 4:29 PM EST reply actions

MONEY!!!!!!

E'Twaun just capped a 16-3 run with a hand in his mouth triple. 7:20 left in the first half up 23-17

by T-Mill on Nov 28, 2008 4:30 PM EST reply actions

File that LewJack 3 under "bonus points" because we don't expect him to hit 3-pointers as much as our other shooters. He's playing well, from a shooter's perspective.

Welcome to the Game, Nemanja Calasan!

by T-Mill on Nov 28, 2008 4:38 PM EST reply actions

His two 3 pt attempts aside, Calasan is getting the job done: a couple nice assists, some defensive rebounds, some physical play against Griffin. And, oh my, he just hit a 3.

city,

I like this guy a lot. He is far from perfect, but damnit he works hard!

by T-Mill on Nov 28, 2008 4:42 PM EST reply actions

Did Oklahoma seriously just tip that 3 in?

by T-Mill on Nov 28, 2008 4:46 PM EST reply actions

Although I wish KG wasn't on the bench with foul trouble, I also like that LewJack's getting a shot here. The more experience he gets in high-pressure situations the better.

by City on Nov 28, 2008 4:47 PM EST reply actions

Forgotten halftime notes: i had a phone call) Does everyone agree Chally and LewJack were the players of the first half? LewJack had some big shot and Chally does a little bit of everything.

by T-Mill on Nov 28, 2008 5:15 PM EST reply actions

come on guys, we're rushing shots now. Get out of the locker room.

by T-Mill on Nov 28, 2008 5:16 PM EST reply actions

ugh, terrible start to the second half

by Charlie on Nov 28, 2008 5:19 PM EST reply actions

Credit where credit is due, that is nice fake by Warren and he is owning us right now.

by T-Mill on Nov 28, 2008 5:25 PM EST reply actions

KG an E'Twaun are keeping us alive 3 points at a time.

by T-Mill on Nov 28, 2008 5:26 PM EST reply actions

T-Mill, I'll agree on Calasan and say that LewJack was the player of the last 8 minutes or so.

So far this half, I like LewJack's intense defense. He's putting good pressure on the ball handler without fouling.

And holy cow, our shooting suddenly appears!

"Will the defender on Lewis Jackson please pick up your jock strap."

Who needs 2 point baskets? Theya re so 1950.

by T-Mill on Nov 28, 2008 5:34 PM EST reply actions

JJ looks more confident this half. That turnaround was pretty.

by City on Nov 28, 2008 5:36 PM EST reply actions

Game update, with 6:26 left Blake Griffin has 13 points, 14 rebounds and we are dead even team-wise on the glass. I count this as a win.

by T-Mill on Nov 28, 2008 5:41 PM EST reply actions

Why are you taking that shot, Chally?!

by T-Mill on Nov 28, 2008 5:45 PM EST reply actions

Our last several possessions have ended in ill-advised shots-- Calasan's 3, Grant's midrange jumper, LewJack's floater. We're getting no favors from the officials either, so every offensive possession has to count.

by City on Nov 28, 2008 5:49 PM EST reply actions

WAY TO FIGHT FOR THAT CHALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

by T-Mill on Nov 28, 2008 5:53 PM EST reply actions

Moore and Calasan both come up big!

by City on Nov 28, 2008 5:53 PM EST reply actions

Hummel fouls out with 10 points. That's just great

by T-Mill on Nov 28, 2008 5:55 PM EST reply actions

timeout? um, okay! Big rebound by Chally, now we can hold for the last shot. Good call. I guess. we're about 31 seconds from erupting in my apartment.

by T-Mill on Nov 28, 2008 5:57 PM EST reply actions

Nemanja and JJ both with 4 fouls. There's a lot to be nervous about going into this OT.

by City on Nov 28, 2008 6:00 PM EST reply actions

City,

Chally doesn't care. He's been a beast on the offensive glass today. Big jumper from him a second ago.

by T-Mill on Nov 28, 2008 6:05 PM EST reply actions

Agreed, he's looking solid. Good start to the OT, before those last two bad possession.

by City on Nov 28, 2008 6:11 PM EST reply actions

We fouled the short white kid. there is no way he misses these free throws

by T-Mill on Nov 28, 2008 6:18 PM EST reply actions

...and they barely touch net

by T-Mill on Nov 28, 2008 6:18 PM EST reply actions

Great win for the Sooners, we blew it.

by T-Mill on Nov 28, 2008 6:22 PM EST reply actions

Tough loss. Smarter offensive possessions in the last half of OT would have helped. The offense has a tendency to stagnate from time to time, and this time it bit us. Time to get up for Duke.
