Real men score inside
Frank taking over the boards
Self going inside now
Hunter experiencing cryogenesis
Drive ball swatted.
Trey ball potted!
Devonte found two pair!
Devonte found a spare pair!
Wayne finding his driving gene through anger!
Hield and Wayne decide to settle this like Trey men
When in doubt press
Perry is now the only effective half court offender.
WAYNE GOT MAD!
Landen sent in to knock'em off spots and take an oop
Devonte is playing without a pair !!!!
Wayne, meet the bench
The Tray!!!!
Devonte is just getting schooled!
The Jam Tray stays.
Great Jam drive!!!
Lon has been ahead of Self every move this half!
Haven't seen this very often.
Jack Hartman and Eddie must be loving this game!!!!
Perry Pfhlopping!
Wayne needs to look in a mirror.
And get mad
I have no idea how Jamari is still plAying from that fall
Frank also needs to take two treys quickly.
Devonte completely off.
Gotta plAy through Frank. Drive ball will win it.
It's getting rockem sockem
Self coming back with action. Lon fooled him and spread it out.
Man, this is cool.
Refs didn't call a bad game at all IMHO.
They blew the call on Frank, but that was meaningless till Self blew up.
Lon is really matching Bill move for move and coming up with stuff ahead of Self; that's why Self lost it!
Frustration.
If Self can't stop Hield and get Devonte untracked, then Lon turns it back into an inside rebounding contest and wins.
If Self can untrack Devonte, or untrack Svi/BG, stop Hield, only grind with lead, KU wins.
Lon is in the better position. I predicted OU would win. Hope to hell Self has a rabbit in a hat.
Lon just actioned KU to death.
Self took off the Trey gloves and picked up the pace.
Lon said fine, we'll play it any way you want Bill.
These are two tough coaches to outflank!
Going to be killer adjustments by both coaches coming out of half time
Svi really looked good guarding Hield outside, but Hield can drive on him. Devonte has to reach down and say he can score on Hield and drive into him.
This is an incredible coaching duel
Hield really making it tough for Devonte to do anything
Self finessed it into up tempo.
Lon out maneuvered!
OU giving trey
Lon is trying to make it turn into an inside game
Self going out now with BG
Their guards can stay with ours.their bigs board better. Kruger is running all the old Hartman cuts.
Jam means grind
Game settling into a grind, as I expected. This timeout sub for Hunter could be very interesting
U make a really useful comment about OU trying quick treys, then running the stuff. It means Lon is already on Bill's page. Quick treys to steal a lead one can defend; then if that doesn't work, run the stuff.
Don't know the reference to a Utah guy, sorry.
Nope. And I like the oil men and oil bidness generally. I just am long a student of the history of Kansas a couple decades either side of 1900. And I'm always on the lookout for little known books by Kansas professors and lay Kansas historians that tell about that era in unsanitized ways. There was apparently a pretty concerted effort by establishment historians to simplify and varnish the era because it was a pivotal time and place in consolidating robber baron hegemony, putting down populist uprisings, and barreling forward into Globalization 1.0. Great, exciting history to finally see covered without simplistic scoping, whatever one's POV!
Let me know if your profs wrote any good books on the subject of oil in that era.
Once you have enough money to open secret bank accounts in the Caymans and Netherlands Antilles, how ya gonna keep'em down on the farm?!
And don't leave out the Mellons, who reputedly decided they did not want to compete head up with the Rockefeller's in Texas fields and in Texas gubmint and so created the state Of Oklahoma to pump oil more under their control. And who decided they would need SE Kansas coal fields for crAcking the Oklahoma and Kansas crude in their refineries in both Oklahoma and Kansas. And yes, old Judge Mellon did reputedly pay a visit to the pendergasts and Nelsons of KC to secure the flank, and that's the rest of the story. Oklahoma and Kansas might have been called Mellonstan once upon a time.. But who can say for sure?
PHOF
Terms each coach had to learn.
Kruger:
Fast break = land rush
Steal = Sooner strip
Self:
Disruption = John Browning
Clear out the side = free state
Terms that are the same in both states:
Oil.
Natural Gas.
Hooters.
Hunter has block and alter chops. Thus he is a god in my eyes even if he isn't from a recruiting hot bed!
