Author: Dad [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:42:42 03/08/05 Tue ...but in the recent past obu has done both...but not this season...so was it a chemistry thing, a longer process than usual to find the key guys, or just bad karma?

Author: SOJ [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:04:06 03/08/05 Tue I think it was a chemistry thing compounded by the fact the their leading scorer and only inside scorer was hurt for about 3 weeks during the middle of the conference season.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: SOJ, I need your educated opinion Author: SOD [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:24:51 03/08/05 Tue It has already been proven on this board that OBU winning the tourney was a fluke and that OC didn't play their best player, Brady Paige, in the last game. So OBU has won their last 4, but they were given to them. That being said, do they have a shot at making a serious run in KC or do I need to make it to the first game to get to see them play. They are probably going to draw a top 5 team. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

They have very good guards(which are playing unbelievable right now) and enough size to bang with anyone. They will go as far as Leanord Mosely can take them, and that is pretty far when leanord is feeling right. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: SOJ, I need your educated opinion Author: SOJ [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:54:55 03/08/05 Tue Well, they have talent and depth. There's no question about that. Although there is a big drop off from the starters to the second team. Guys like Grace and Jones can provide solid minutes, but they're not a real threat when they're out there. The same is true of all their post players but Benson. When they struggled it was for two reasons. 1. They didn't have an inside scorer because Benson was hurt. 2. They played horrible team defense. Benson's return fixed the first problem, and evidently they've started to figure out the second problem. Hawley is right. It's all about Leonard. He's the only really unstoppable perimiter player they have. If he gets going he's likely to put up 20 in a half. It's not like a few years ago when either AHawk or David was a threat to go for 25 to 30. I'd also say it depends a lot on Hart. He needs to shoot over 40% and keep his turnovers around 2 or 3. In short, I wouldn't be surprised to see these guys get beat in the first round, and I wouldn't be all that surprised to see them win 2 or 3 games either. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

OBU is capable beating anyone in the field. But they could be beat by anyone, especially themselves. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
