OU Game Thread

3 refs in OKC apparently the only people that didn't see the Smith dunk.

30 minutes from Shaq, didn't get that 2nd foul until minute 28 too.

Kelly's TO late was mentally not tough. It was as if he thought the game was already over. Not ripping, just calling it what it was. Our juniors, like it or not, have to be our seniors this year. I'm sure he would say just what I have said.

Same for CF. Another junior who has to be one of our seniors. That's just the way it is if this team is to reach the heights it wants to this year.

2 juniors were absolute no-shows. RK is a role player at best. The other 3 juniors were difference-makers today. Shaq D'ed up well and had a block party. ZB brought it in the 2nd half, and DS.. well nuff said.

From Twitter sphere:

Jeff Eisenberg:
Even without Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet, Wichita State isn't fading from national relevance. Shockers improve to 9-2 by beating Oklahoma.

Jon Rothstein:
Wichita State with a huge neutral site win over Oklahoma in OKC. Could pay huge dividends for Shockers if they don't win MVC Tournament.

Jeff *******:
That's a nice win for Wichita State against Oklahoma in OKC. Gotta give Gregg Marshall credit -- winning despite losing Baker & VanVleet.

Best defensive game of his career. Shaq should feel great about today.

I have been overly critical of a few players myself along the way.
After today, i will STFU and wish a few of you would do the same.
We are a TEAM of TEN. ZB stepped up as did SM, although I wish
he could post up stronger. Great paint D though. Wow, DS, I am
a believer now. AR-15 ! I thought CF played solid even though his
shot is still off. LS drives were HUGE at a critical point of the game.
DW getting better. When MM hits his stride - who knows. RN
playing good defense. I LOVE OUR GUARDS - ALL FOUR OF THEM !
Good win. Can't wait for next Saturday. Lots of family coming in
for the game. Cost me a small fortune in tickets but will be worth it.

giant and 1 on that dunk. inexcusable no call. got hit on the arm and the face.

I just watched it on ESPN again. They fouled the heck out of him.

What a job protecting the rim!

Wichita State wins the All College Classic Championship in Oklahoma City with a 76-73 victory over Oklahoma. https://t.co/ZSBSio5M78

Daishon Smith is the All-College Classic MVP. Had 13 points and six assists for Wichita State.

All fair, I just don't think fans should say they "are done" with any player. We need all these guys. :)

This includes me.

Maybe it's just a poster dunk thing. Cotton's humiliating earthquake at Illinois State was a no-call foul also.

[Cdizzle]

It's not about hating. It's about people still thinking a shot is "off" after 3 years of evidence that this is what the shot is.

No worries though. We have established who our PG will be going forward. What a tremendous second half by Smith.

Shaq had perhaps his best game today. He is so much stronger than RK. However, he has played better off the bench since the Bahamas. I'd keep him as the 6th man, keep him out of foul trouble early, and then turn him loose. Good job Shaq!

Probably right. The refs think the opposing player has suffered enough, getting dunked on like that.
