I hope no one has given that MVC trophy to WSU just yet.

Re: Up Next: Oklahoma

Spencer Haldeman has played a hell of a last ten minutes and overtime. Took over as point guard and has been on Woodard about half the time.

This is an astute post. Haldeman really ran the team effectively with only one mistake (and even that was off-the-ball) the last half of the second half. Just a really impressive performance. Couple that with his shooting ability and he can really be very effective weapon.

I felt much more comfortable when Haldeman ran the team rather than McCloud tonight. Not to say McCloud doesn't have enormous potential.

Re: Up Next: Oklahoma

Pretty impressed with Haldeman running the point for last 10+ mins of the game and then a great stop down the stretch guarding Woodard. He's going to be playing a lot of minutes. Not sure we need to see Rhodes playing many minutes, especially against these long athletic teams; he's really struggled.

Koch deserves come credit, too, for carrying us when nobody else could score.

Carlson - crazy good

Re: Up Next: Oklahoma

wow! ......wow!......wow!

This team in the 2nd half came together and played great! We will need more out of juwan once conference play comes around but spencer needs to continue to see a lot of playing time. that kid just knows how to ball and it's exciting. Klint showed some major mental toughness by continuing to fight until things started to go his way.

Way to go panthers! We should be really proud of our guys tonight.

Re: Up Next: Oklahoma

Thank goodness Coach didnt LOL

I knew pulling him & winning were not synonymous. I just think early in the season, a young team, that was the play. Oh well. Take the resume win. I'd definitely pull him over & remind him the mindset at that time & always is to focus on the scoreboard.

Re: Up Next: Oklahoma

I'm really excited that we get 2 shots at Xavier. Our non-conference schedule is shaping up really nicely with these quality games. We now have 2 shots at #11, and one at #5.

Listened to the game while flying from Boston to Chicago. UNBELIEVABLE.

Made up for missing flight to KC due to delays.

Also got to meet the Worm rocking Joker green hair while in ORD. Truly a basketball themed night.

Re: Up Next: Oklahoma

Xavier is missing a starting guard and a projected starter/key contributor at forward. When they are both back, Xavier could go on a streak. Beating them early once or twice could be a HUGE resume builder.

NIU sighting: http://www.espn.com/mens-college-bas...meId=400926404

Oklahoma used runs of 8-0 and 9-0 to roll to a 31-18 halftime advantage. James hit a couple of 3-pointers on his way to nine first half points and Doolittle bulled his way inside for six points, while NIU continued flailing offensively.

This is really a weak rationalization.

I'll take Jake's mature response to talk to Klint while the OK player is shooting the technical fouls to let his talking occur on the floor and help lead his team to an impressive win; which of course is exactly what happened.

He threw down on their best big man and was fired up. I'll take the technical and his fire when we're down double digits. He was on fire after that...

Re: Up Next: Oklahoma

I was surprised he was T'd up. Klint didn't say anything to him...just looked at him.
