they're good enough to win, but not if they miss 25 freethrows.

especially if it comes down to freethrows.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="756429" timestamp="1265522032"] i tried to tell you UT lovers the the Big 12 were going to be beating up on each other. [b]OU has a very good team.  [/quote][/b] they've come a long way.  this freshman kid has turned into a beast for them.  if he'd been playing like this all season, they'd be a tourney team.

:)

congrats!

awful.  freethrows the ONLY difference in the game.  if Texas shoots a paltry 66% from the line, they win.

J Brown played bad in the 1st half, and barely saw the floor the rest of the game.  Jordan Hamilton's 2nd half performance made J Brown's 1st half look good, but he played almost the entire second half, missing shots and turning the ball over. 

Texas misses, gets fouled (even the announcers saw it), no call, OU rebounds and gets fouled.

James forces a shot after a Texas steal, OU up five, going to the line for 2.  1:14 left, Texas 10-27 from the line.

given away 7 points at the line in the last 2 minutes, now down 8.

horns deserve to lose.  9-26 from the line.

James 1-5 from the line in 3 trips.  a chance to cut the lead to 3, instead it's 7.  this is really frustrating.  Texas has absolutely dominated the 2nd half, but can't take advantage of free points.

Texas down 7, and 9-22 from the freethrow line.  terrible.

OU leads 65-56 going into the media timeout.  Horns wasting lots of chances, but still the much better team this half.  had they not been terrible, combined with incredible shooting in the 1st half, this is a game they should be leading by 20.  hopefully they can come back and get the win, but time's running out.

OU cans a tray to go back up 9, Jordan hamilton travels, to follow up bad shots on 3 consecutive possessions.  put him on the bench.

Horns within 6.  it's a shame when i get pumped up when the horns make 1-2 freethrows.

Texas within 7 after a 3 by Bradley.  Texas just picked up their 9th team foul, so OU is in the double bonus the final 10 minutes of the game.  James misses a golden chance to cut the lead to 5.

[quote name="etbu" post="756257" timestamp="1265495853"] Looking much better if the OU refs calm down. [/quote] yup

Texas within 9 with 11 minutes left.  Avery Bradley coming up big for the horns.

7 fouls in 7 minutes on the horns.  5 of them are touch fouls.  OU up 13 with 13 minutes left.

Texas on a 10-2 run to cut the deficit to 11, but have turned it over on the last two possessions or could've made it closer.

the most telling stat of this game:  Texas: 6-16 from the freethrow line OU: 9-16 from the 3-point line.

[quote name="etbu" post="756239" timestamp="1265493431"] What has happen to the Horns? [/quote] if they'd learn to shoot freethrows they'd be doing a lot better.  2 of their 3 losses can be attributed to freethrows.

Horns down 48-30 at the half.

Brown's playing like crap.  Pittman has been invisible.  James has been invisible.  Balbay has looked terrible.  Bradley has been up and down.  this is terrible.
