OUInsider - Owen Field

I hope nobody thought that this was going to be a short term project because it isn't. Capel had a lesser team and had way more talent and the program completely bottomed out. We have a few pieces, but we need more. I agree let's get a few more of Coach Kruger's classes in and see what happens. I was encouraged like you were at the start of the year, but at least we didn't lose to Chaminade like we did with Capel (even though we had 3 Macdonald's AAs).

Did you think we would magicly be world beaters in 1 season? This team plays harder in warm ups than last years team did when the game was on the line. We are short on talent and the Big 12 is very tough. You also have to consider we lost 2 potential winnable games in Nebraska and Colorado and added 4 possible losses in second games with Kansas, Kansas State, ISU & Mizzou. We are better than we were last year but unfortunetly so is the rest of the league.

I agree. We dont have anyone to build around. Clark has regressed so much. Osby does alot well and would be a good piece if surrounded with better talent. Fitz and Pledger are just gonna have trouble getting open vs good teams. Also makes it tough when your PG is never a threat to hit a wide open shot. Maybe M'Baye will be a stud. We'll see.

The team has just lost some confidence. Once they regain it, I think they will go on a win streak. Don't bail already, and it won't take 3 years to get to the tournament.

I think you are exactly right. The Cincy loss really hurt us.

I think a win at Cincy might have led to a win in Stillwater. Beating Mizzou and Kansas was probably out of the question. They just need a win to get some confidence back.
