Not much to get excited about with Porter Moser’s spiraling mens’ team as they are dead last in the SEC currently at 1-5 with a game today at Missouri. We’ll see how that goes. But I know this… if Nijel Pack continues on his recent trend of poor shooting the Sooners are soon to be 1-6 in conference play.
Mike J would say Porter Moser needs to have one of those eye to eye Al Pacino moments with Nijel in the lockeroom today if there is to be a Porter Moser Year 6 in Norman in the offing.
On a brighter note, the Sooners coached by Jennie B stunned No. 2 South Carolina 94-72 in OT at Lloyd Noble on Thursday evening before an appreciative and raccous crowd.
Winning is fun. There is no mystery in that axiom. That is why the Norman crowds are sparse and meek currently with Porter’s team.
Freshman point guard Aaliyah Chavez was beyond superlative in the overtime in the extra period swishing five threes in leading the Sooners to a MUCH needed win after their poor performance on the previous Sunday versus Kim Mulkey’s LSU Tigers.
Kim Mulkey has always been a trip as far I’ve been concerned dating back to her days at Baylor where her teams racked up three national championships before she took the money and ran to LSU where she has since won an additional natty.
I kind of like Kim Mulkey though. She doesn’t take any shit from anybody anytime. I’d love to see her debate Trump. That might be an engrossing evening of American civics.
OU was worse than horrid in the LSU game. I would imagine those sensitive to F-bombs would have been shocked at the things Jennie HAD to say to her team after that pathetic effort in the second half.
I’m not like the puritan Jim Traber…I fully undertsnad there are times in sports when a coach needs to emit an F-bomb or two to grab their team’s attention when their effort is not acceptable.
Good for Jenni…she obviously knows what she can and can’t say to her players to get them back on track. THEY RESPONDED.
It was a great team win for OU as all five starters scored in double figures. Plus, Brooklyn Stewart, Caya Smith, and Keziah Lofton all contributed off the bench.
This was a crossroads win for the Sooners if they are to be serious about hosting another NCAA sub-regional and challenging for an Elite 8 berth come March.
This is the version of Aaliyah Chavez that needs to emerge. She’s a true freshman, but she’s also the best player on the team. This was the first game I witnessed where it appeared everyone on the floor for the Sooners understood what I just wrote in the previous sentence.
OU plays at Auburn tomorrow. The Sooners need to win the game. Period.
