Game Preview
We took care of business Wednesday, now it's time to take care of business once again tonight. In a week it's March. Every game is magnified. Every game is meaningful and dramatic. Tonight we are on the road in Norman and how vital would it be to get conference win number 9 and number 19 overall.

A rematch is in the books after the Aggies beat Oklahoma in Reed Arena in early January by 7. The Aggies are now 8-5 in the conference while the Sooners sit at 3-10. Ou has been in many games but blown leads. They lost 9 in a row before earning a huge upset on the road to beat Vandy, then easily beating Georgia at home. Then in their last game they lost by 23 to Tennessee.

Oklahoma continues to be led by their two guards Nigel Pack and Xzayvier Brown. They're averaging 16.1 and 15.7. They don't have exceptional size, but their forwards Davis, Reid, and Wague are solid. They don't have the physicality of Agee. Agee last time against OU had 16 points and 12 rebounds.

What really helped us in that last matchup was our physicality and press. We turned OU over 17 times. We also shot 21 of 25 free throws and made 11 of 31 threes. I want to see an aggressive style of play tonight. Let's feed our bigs and let Agee and Clemence do some work. Let's drive to the paint and attack or kick out to some open shooters. We are starting to see some consistency in scorers like Agee, Hill, and Clemence, but we need others to get to double figures in any which way. We need to be more efficient throughout the game. Let's turn them over and get some stops. Last game we had no transition points and that's not our style.

With only 5 games left (OU, Arky, tu, Kentucky, and LSU), each game presents a huge opportunity. We can't afford a loss to Oklahoma. Thankfully we were able to bounce back against Ole Miss after the 4 game skid. While Wednesday wasn't pretty, it was the result we needed. Right now wins and losses are what matter. Our style of basketball isn't going to pretty for 40 minutes. We have to wear teams down, we have to go on runs, we have to pull stops out of nowhere, we might have to score 95, we just have to do whatever it takes to win. It's almost March, just win. Let's go BTHO ou and keep our sights set on getting into the dance!

I think we're gonna be shooting threes like madmen tonight so I'm going with Dominguez, Griffin, and Clemence. 15+ threes for the W.

Georgia least likely to make tourney.


Lane most likely to be the figure skater.

I think Auburn is a free fall and I'm enjoying it

Clemence has the figure skater hair, although Jacari or Rylan may be a little more graceful on the ice

From a podcast I listen to

I'm going to be looking to Oklahoma at home against Texas A&M.
I think A&M has been figured out. Everyone in the SEC is adjusted to Bucky Ball. Since January 15th, you can take any date over a month ago, around the month time frame.
Since January 15th, Texas A&M defense turnovers forced per game, 314th. I mean, they're pressing the entire game.
That's the premise of their defense. Up until January 15th, Texas A&M, they didn't really play anybody, but they were 16th. So they've gone from 16th up until January 15th.
And then, since then, they've been one of the 50 worst teams in forcing turnovers. So I think teams have adjusted to the pressure. I think Oklahoma will make some adjustments here.
They just shredded a press at home in Georgia. This is the second time they're playing A&M, the second time you're playing this unique style. And I just think this A&M team is fading.
Oklahoma's played the much tougher schedule.They won't get crushed inside. They actually can get a lot of second chance opportunities here.
They hit their threes at home. They'll get plenty of opportunities there. And this Texas A&M team, I mean, teams are shooting under 30% from three in SEC play, and we're still seeing them fade away late.
I like the Sooners at home. They got to win out to get to have a chance to be on the bubble. As weird as that sounds.
But I think they're like a 2% chance, I would say now. But they haven't quit. Like, the reason I bring that up is like, you know, they lost to Tennessee.
We saw them, you know, get blown out against Kentucky, which I think pretty much eliminated them from at large. They go to Vandy and win the next game. They blow out Georgia.
But even going further back, they should have won at Missouri after a loss to South Carolina. They played Arkansas down to the wire, Alabama down to the wire. So this team still fights for Porter.
I like them at home in the coin flip game against Texas A&M.

Yeah, I can certainly see that perspective, and to be honest I have a bad feeling about this one
