No, not the musical group. The university.
Tipoff against the mighty Terriers is imminent. Hopefully, it's the only Wyattvision (or rather, Boylevision) game we are forced to enjoy this season. Here's to an excellent TV package!
Discuss the game below.

Dom sounds good early
Cats lead 9-6. Jordan with 4 and Jake with a deep 3.

Just need to defend the arc.
That’s been the only negative so far.

Yeah, all their points are from out there.
Where are the guards?

Interesting that Wally came off the bench for Jordan, before Jamar came in
by BracketCat on Nov 19, 2009 6:45 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Wally with 2 quick fouls
looks like he’ll find the bench for a while.

Sounds like we continue to play ugly
a number of turnovers already.

Yeah
And the shooting disappeared.
I reiterate: Where are the guards? Where is Denis? He should chew a zone up.

Jake made the first one...

I like Ben Boyle
But it’s just like with Wyatt in football.
He’s busy breaking down the last play while the next one is going on, and I know more from the crowd reaction then I do from the game call.

If there's one negative about Martin's teams...
They really, really struggle against zone defenses.

Upset alert in Stillwater
CU is playing much better than OSU.
Cate has thrown a pick and should have thrown at least three more.
0 for 6 on third downs, despite running it down CU’s throat in the first half.

Big picture question
What’s with the slow starts? As long as we keep winning, it’s not a big deal, but we can’t keep coming out and sleepwalking in the first half, or we’re going to end up so far behind someone that we can’t make it up.

It’s a win-win even if we lose, because we’ll face either Dayton or Villanova in the final. Both are ranked and both will boost our RPI much more than any non-con team did last year.

A quick analysis...
If we want to continue to be successful on the season we need to average around .800 in free throw shooting. Take a look at almost any team that has made a run to the Final Four and that is the one thing that really stands out about this game…and the turnovers and lack of perimeter defense. Kudos to the multiple freshmen who hit all but one free throw to ice the game in the end.
by Catbacker98 on Nov 20, 2009 1:09 AM CST reply actions 0 recs
I'm not real worried yet
We sucked at free throws last fall, too, but I don’t remember them costing us any game in the Big 12. Pretty sure we made most of them in Austin, for instance.
by BracketCat on Nov 20, 2009 10:46 AM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Not worried just an observation...
This game could have been salted early by making early free throws and we could have won by 20. Living in ACC country I can watch first hand how UNC and Duke put a lot of teams away early by making their free trips to the line count.
