Agree. Like I've said, any college player can be a knockdown shooter from that distance. Not that hard considering how much these guys practice.

Before they moved it back the d-1 average was 35.1%. Right now it's 34.4%. The 35.1% was the highest average on kenpom (starting with stats in 2002), from 2002-2005 the average was bettwen 34.4% and 34.7%.


Safe to say they've adjusted just fine, and if it was originally moved back because it was too easy to make, the stats suggest it's almost as easy now as it was then.

with many screaming about the lack of offense in college game and the fact they just changed the rules to enhance scoring I doubt they entertain a change that could make it harder to score.

Wish some of our players would wear down to the tune of throwing in 46 against a highly ranked team.

Sooners played 9 people in a tripe overtime loss to Kansas. Out of the 9 one played 3 minutes, another 6.
Kansas played 11 players with one playing 9 minutes ,one 6,another 5 and another 3.

That looks like two 7 man rotations for the two top ranked teams in the country. Many played over 50 minutes. Both teams scored over a 100 points.

The point being our issues may be execution not fatigue.

Talent and better conditioning. Kansas 1-8 possibly could be 1st rd picks.

our guys are conditioned fine. Didn't use see all the pictures from all the hard work we put in during off season. Now if you want to say they are more talented . I'll go along with you.

Ellis Clark deberry and troy have looked gassed in multiple games this year. Every team and players say they lifting weights. Troy is youngest and strongest player on team, that is a major problem. Name ONE time this year that weight room strength was displayed! I said it in summer saying it now I would've like it they put 85% of weight room time into individual training. I'll take troy improving lateral quickness or Ellis working on footwork over lifting weights

Yeah, no doubt. When you have that kind of talent, you can play 50 minutes and still have more game, despite the fatigue, than many of our guys starting fresh. Watching that game last night was like watching something foreign. I can understand Kansas, because they are always like that. But, there is absolutely no reason why a program like Oklahoma should be better than us. If you can create a team like that at Oklahoma, then it's possible at Cincinnati. Not only possible, but it should be more probable. Just to check, I searched on the "Greatest Basketball Programs of All Time" and found the site below which "statistically" did an analysis and made an all-time ranking determination. Surprisingly, Oklahoma did come in at 27th. Where are we....#9 all-time. It's about time that our performance begin to approach our historical standards again.
