Great second half by the Sooners after a sluggish first half. This was a huge game for OU in that it could very well be OU and Vanderbilt are battling for one of the last SEC slots in March Madness.
You can see the pressure Porter’s feeling right now. He needs his team to make the Tournament. OU improves to 16-5 and 3-5 in SEC play, but winners of three out of their last four in the mighty SEC.
I’m giving out three games balls. 1 Dalton Forsythe was my MVP for the incredible energy he brought to his team late in the first half. Dalton is a baller, not just a shooter. 2 Fellow freshman guard Jeremiah Fears who was the one solid Sooner player from start to finish and had a great bounceback performance from his horrible road game earlier this week at College Station. And 3, OU’s best player Jalon Moore, who started slowly… but was incredible in the second half surge by the Sooners. Jalon is clearly the captain on this team, but it was the two freshman guards who stole Lloyd Noble Center’s heart in this game.
My hoops weekend marathon continues today at 1:30PM as Jenni B’s 15th ranked Sooners host Kentucky. I’m reset and reset. Still in disbelief though with the Luka-Anthony Davis trade if I read that right which I think will very much hurt the Thunder’s chances of advancing in the West if indeed that happened.
I’ll blog about the trade on Tuesday or so unless Trump starts a war with Panama or Greenland or Canada or Mexico on Monday. One thing is certain–though with POTUS 47…he will not send troops to Taiwan and f–k with China, China, China. He only bullies those who are weak and kiss his ass ring….like 49 of the 51 GOP senators do on a regular basis and most of the gutless Dems as well.
I’m amped about the Lady Sooners today. Ever Since Jenni took over for Sherri Coale she’s had me as a fan. And the fact of the matter is, and I hate to write this because I love Porter—she’s done a better job than Porter. Jenni was not a DEI hire…just sayin’. She’s a ball coach.
Not even close.
A warmup song for me today would be nice.
Good luck today, Lady Sooners.
