OU was 51% from the field, 58% from three. They played a hard fought game against a tired and emotionally drained Tiger team. Props to Haith for making the right call by having them foul and putting them on the line...OU was awful from the charity stripe (less than 40%), and it was the difference in the game.

He didn't play that well against KU either pete.

OU missed an assload of free throws.

It's tough to win on the road in the conference, especially after a draining win like MU just had.

It's games like these that make me think one of the top 3 teams will slip up somewhere and it will cost them the conference.

Robinson won't be the player Howard is, Howards size advantage trumps at the NBA level, but he's a very intriguing player in his own right. If he keeps working and fills out a little more through his trunk, he could be a Karl Malone type defender/rebounder with more of a 12-15 PPG scoring potential (as opposed to Karls 25-30).

I'm sure there's a good comparable out there, but I can't think of one at the moment.

No way. Robinson is not scoring 12-15 in the NBA. He might be 9-12 if you're optimistic. I don't think he has the height. They list him at 6'10, but he's probably a good inch and a half shorter than that.

Saul, you just don't like anything KU do you?

Pressey did this last year as well. Last season he started slow, got hot, but then really started to crap out as conference season progressed.

This season he started out hot, but once again, as conference season has gone on he has really started to struggle.

Last year I thought it might just be a freshman that was simply hitting the freshman wall and being outplayed by stronger, more experienced kids.

Now I'm starting to wonder if playing as hard as he does at his size doesn't just tire him out as the season goes on.

Both of the Presseys have been liabilities for the last several games.

Possibly.

What is Pressey listed at?

I think this playing everyone twice is really wearing teams down. Especially those Saturday Monday turnaraounds.

I think Robinson's a hell of a college player who can carve out a niche for himself as a rebounder in the league, but I don't see him scoring much. I said the same thing about Marcus Morris (and said that Keif would be the better pro).

Ever? I don't know how you can say that. Even if he's only 6'9'', his length is more than sufficient to play with most 4s. And with his athleticism and explosion, he can play above the rim easier than a lot of 4s out there.

There will be some teams like the Lakers that play a second center at the 4, but most teams don't have anyone a hell of a lot taller than Robinson playing the 4.

If he can improve that 14 footer, clean up his spin move and develop something of a step-back, I don't see why he couldn't be a 12-15 PPG guy. That's really not hard to pull off if you get starters minutes and he should be sound enough defensively that he'll be able to start in the league.

Look at it this way - Carlos Boozer isn't any taller than Robinson, he's not as athletic and he's certainly not any stronger. Physically there isn't anything that keeps Robinson from being every bit Boozer's equal, he just has to develop a rounded offensive game.

Boozer is the comp I should've used earlier - Robinson could easily play a very similar game to Carlos Boozer and be just as good at it, if not better.

I'm sure the entire team has tired legs. I don't know how in the hell you schedule a college team to play a road game that starts 44 hours after their last game ended. At this point in the season, I hope Haith is giving them a ton of rest. That's going to be more important than practice and conditioning come tournament time.

I could see this team giving it everything they've got to win the league and/or tournament while having nothing left in the tank for the tourney. That scares me.

He's listed at 5'10'', but I've seen him around town and he seems like he's about 5'8'' to me.

Yeah, I'm all broke up over none of our teams ever having to set foot inside that dustblown trailer trash armpit of a ****ing state again. Bummer.

Not sure if I am unique but once these guys move on from college I don't really keep track of them at all. I don't see the draw of the NBA.

He seems pretty small.

I think Denmon has a really good chance to be a good pro, if he shoots the ball this well.
