What is it that you have against Young? You have been ragging on him since day one. OK, he had a bad game, so what? Does it make him a bad player? No, it just makes him young, inexperienced and human and your comments sound petty and increasingly redundant.
Young is currently the hottest player is college basketball, last game notwithstanding. If the vote for POY takes place today, he might get some competition form Ayton or Bagley or maybe Ferguson but my guess is that he wins going away; hard not to when he is leading Division 1 in scoring and assist while playing in the toughest conference in the country...think about it. Without him, OU is a marginal top 25 team, with him, OU is a legitimate top 10 team. Any one with an appreciation of basketball would value what this kid does, in my personal opinion, of course
Sit back, relax and enjoy watching him play and maybe you will see something you don't see so far.
This is nothing personal and not intended to start an argument, just an observation and my last words on the subject.
YOU have NO CLUE - - NO IDEA clueless, I have said over and over - - multiple multiple times about he being a very good player -I just ain't sucking his nutts like some. - YOU and some others the way you talk about him on the other side of the fence is like he is a GOD - take that crap out of here And when he has good games - -SO WHAT? - and what when I keep hearing over and over about how great he is reduntant. - -see there you go again about ready to orgasm over his OFENSIVE stats, -you play basketball? - -IF you did - -was you like TRAE where you just worried about the offensive end of the court? - - sad man - -just sad.
Don't try and use the excuse about this being the toughest team in the land either
- come on you can't seriously wanna try and make people believe
that do you? - we all have seen how that turns out - people want to try and play it up saying were the toughest conference then come NCAA time - -other teams beat us in the tourney like taking candy from a baby - nope that doesn't hold squat thanks.
You gave an outstanding observation - -not buying it - -but outstanding - I have mine - and I will tell you just what you said to me - maybe you can sit back and observe and see things you haven't seen like oh I don't no - - -DEFENSE - and now that's the last I will say about that. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@JayHawkFanToo he was very inefficient and took bad shot a on multiple occassions. He did not have a good game by any stretch.
It was one of those game for TRAE , like I've said there are going to be games a lot of games that he will single handlely win - -other nights like last night he will play a huge part for the reason of them losing - that's the way it is - some just don't ever want to acknowledge that though - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Agree. - -BUT see people don't want to acknowledge that, they want to down play that - they just want to slobber all over themselves oh look - -look at him isn't he simply the best - umm no - he is very very good - is he a COMPLETE PLAYER? - -Hell no he is not - not by a long shot. - - -people want to get all caught up on his numbers offensively, just don't want to bother looking at the complete picture, screw that -that's not how the game is suppose to be played - -you play BOTH ends of the floor - you don't rest on one end of the floor just so you can come down and jack up three pointers from near mid court at times- nope not how it's done - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I prefer not to look at just one number in isolation, I look at all the stats.

@JayHawkFanToo other than 12 to's? That's huge! Big 12 record

JayHawkFanToo said:
Not a bad line either...other than the turnovers . He lead OU in points, assists and steals and had only 2 fouls.
SHIT , the reason he only has two fouls is when Lonnie doesn't take him out and sit for stretches - he isn't playing any kind of defense - other then some half as OLAEE - it's more often then not - get's bet like Brown lighting him up last night beating him multiple time on straight line drives Trae stepping to the side half as waving an arm as Brown blows by him - and according to popular believe that this is how Lon wants him to play as so not get into fould trouble - give me a break.
Last time I checked isn't there TWO ends to a basketball floor? - -Aren't you suppose to play Defense along with the offensive end? - -or do we just play the offensive end let me get my stats - and the hell with the other end?
Let me ask you, do you REALLY think with the way he plays defense a lot - -not all - but quite a bit of the time - do you really want to sit there and even try to tell me that Self would give him a pass on the defensive end of the floor no matter who he was? - -Don't even go there - -everyone knows if you screw around on defense lazy - your as is going to be finding a lot of quality time warming the pine - don't even try to say different. - the majority of Coaches would be the same way - if he is such the great player - which again he is very good but he should be able defend/guard his man - for 3/4 of the game his defense SUCKS - everyone wants to watch the offensive end - screw that watch both ends. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Jayballer54 How can you criticize Trae? He had a double-double.
LMAO - - -OH BOY that's funny . - -Question, -- Did Oklahoma win? - let's ask again -Did or did they not OU win? - Thank you. - -Basketball last time I checked is also a TEAM sport or is it not? - It's not a let me get my stats sport.
Your mr double double also got ANOTHER double digit stat in the game - -TURNOVERS - -12. - - 12 - -12 fricken turnovers. - -the ream as a whole had like 18.
I'm gonna say this you all want to suck up to Trae's ass fine no problem - you all want to melt like butter - -oh Trae look - -look at what Trae done tonight - -Oh , Oh ,Oh my goodness -- look. - -Great knock your socks off - -have at it lol, Trae is a very very good player.
However everyone wants to wet all over himself about Trae and the awesome things he does - - Great - -Trae gets all the sugar for doing such awesome things -Then Trae can also stand up by the man and take the criticism when he SUCKS - - -last night HE STUNK - -FLAT OUT SUCKED , you watch he doesn't play hardly any defense for half the game - jogs back down the floor on defense - as seen last night , backs completely away when getting beat on a drive - -as seen last night, 2nd half he plays some better
People say it's Kruger saying it's ok to play that way- - so he doesn't get in foul trouble - - - -bullshit. - - if he is such an awesome player then he best be able to know how to defends too without the foul trouble, the way he defends - is just fricken sad hell Berry Brown lit him up for 16 in the 1st half last night mainly as a result of very weak defense on his part if that's what you wanna call it.
Oh Trae got a double double - - AND? - - Again did Oklahoma win the game? - Is this a team game or let me look pretty game? - -get that shit out of here really lame. - -Really tired of hearing this crap -everybody wanting to make him out to be GOD - but nobody wants to acknowledge how he played a HUGE part for OU losing this game. - -ok, let me hear the lame excuses - if it makes you feel better, Just like I said - Trae is very good BUT -Trae will win them some games BUT Trae will for sure help cost them some games as he did last night.
If ANYONE thinks that jacking up a shot about as soon as you get 3-4 dribbles past the half court is a high quality shot - -high pct shot - -then I'm sorry you basketball IQ sucks - That is not the kind of shot wants -or should want. - If you think that stat line from last night of his was ok - -then your basketball IQ sucks. plain and simple - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Trae Young box score. - - 8-21 fg - - -2-10 3 pt attempts - - 6 assists - -and 12 turnovers. - Not a very good line at all - -K State & Barry Brown just took him to the shed - -12 turnovers ! ! and yet the ESPN announcers wanted to talk about how he had scored 500 points in his brief time.
That's great you got your 500 points - main while back at the ranch your TEAM just got their ass blistered - -by K- State - little FYI this isn't a me game - -it's a Team game. - -individual stats doesn't mean crap if your team is getting the hell knocked out of it. - 12 turnovers - -hmmm - no one else on the TEAM had more then 1 - -so young has 30 turnovers in his last three games, like the story line coming out on ESPN read - Oklahoma may have peaked and time running out now.
Ha to go into overtime to beat TCU at home and now get blistered by KSU - this league is a Beast just beating the hell out of one another.
I don't know - to me it looked like for most of the night - looked like OU was just going through the motions , like they didn't even want to be there. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Other straight out truth: - - -Our pressure sucked. But the one I liked and whether you like the guy or not , very sound comment.
Huggy said when they were practicing - somewhere while they were practicing it was posted about WV being 2nd in the Nation - -told the players - you see that? - -you like that? like being there? - Then promptly said: It's not that hard to climb up the polls - -BUT - - -that fall - - is a BITCH - - how true , not pulling any strings. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BAY
Man I tell you what. - -I know that Mitch by far is not the most talented, not the biggest BUT - - the kid has fire in his gut. - I mean just like the rebound and the put back with like a minute that was called goal tending was huge - -and the fire the edge he has - his whole reaction - the emotion -I love that from the kid.
I might just be blind, maybe just totally me - but man does this kid try and always gives 100 % seems to me anyways - -he has made plays in some crucial times this year -giving it his all - I can tell just how much he loves to play -how he loves KU -these kind of kids - these are what I want to help our depth.
Man if we could get him to red shirt - and I feel the redshirt just for bulk, because as been mentioned countless times with him playing out of position - I think believe it or not - -I think the kid has OVER achieved all things considered put some girth/bulk on him so he isn't getting pushed around - pretty decent shot blocker - -ya give me some more of that. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
