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

...and yet they called a foul on Brown who never touched the guy on his and-one. Ridiculous.

What a huge win. Has to be a huge confidence boost for those guys.

Great Coaching preparation today and adjustments at halftime. No wonder the Shocks are the top road team in the Country the last 6 or so Seasons.. Woodard is for real and this will "dress up" our resume' a bit. We kept our turnovers to a mild roar in the 2nd half.

Morris lead the team in minutes played and the sky is falling

That was complete horseshit call. Didnt even touch the guy. Horseshit.

Intrust will be electric next week. I'll be there. :)

5 blocks and only 2 fouls was key. We need Shaq on the hardwood more and the pine less. This was like a double home game for Shaq in his old stomping grounds with lots of Shocker fans there cheering him on!!!

We havent been the better team. Better individual players? Probably. But how can you lose when you go to the line like 20 more times than your opponent?

Ok. I didn't buy Intrust tix. My bad. Time to open the wallet and pay whatever is asked.

We can't underestimate how important it was for the Shockers to close out the first half well and close the deficit before halftime.

Yes, but Nurger needs to step up his game again. Third game in a row without a point. Nurger will be needed for quality minutes.

I don't quite understand all the hate on CF. He has always been known as a shooter, but I think he has shown he deserves to be here even if his shot doesn't fall. He may not be 50% from three range but he has proven that he is not only a shooter. He hit a couple nice shots in the first half, he hasn't been the complete defensive liability that many (including myself) thought he would be. As far as playing the point, I tend to find DS more able to control the game. I just think that CF plays more under control. I haven't looked at a +/- report on him but at this point I will take what he brings for this team.

All that being said, this was definitely a solid win that should help us out a lot come March.

They are just lucky they did not have to play us at 21st and Hillside. From here, I want Oklahoma to defeat lots of teams including KU. OU will get better. Woodard is for real!!!!!!! This would be a series I would like to see for the next 10 Seasons!!!

True--if he does, that is great and I think he will. Also though, on off nights for either of them we will have to have more minutes from MM, Willis, and Brown. I know MM missed some chip shots but he got mauled over and over again with no whistles.
