No need to thank me.
The Hogs are a 2.5 point favorite. This feels like a letdown/trap game with OU coming off 6 straight losses and the Hogs looking ahead to Kentucky on Saturday. OU is the worst defensive team in the SEC but they can score so it will probably be a shootout.
Edit: I just realized they have Nijel Pack. This is at least the 3rd time we've played against him at 3 different schools.
What I hope, is that our obviously bad game against LSU counts as the every other game wake up call even though we got the W. That we come out with hair on fire tonight.
Of course, if that happens, it guarantees that Kentucky will be our letdown game.

I doubt we let down for Kentucky regardless. The name on that jersey will have our attention.
Like against LSU, we don't have to be anywhere near our best to beat a bad OU team. But it would sure be nice to beat a terrible team into submission instead of playing to the level of competition for once.
free admission for everyone.
throwback unis tonight?
First impression is it looks like every other road game.
Quote from: TC on Jan 27, 2026, 05:55 PMI love Cal.

I don't disagree. I think he'd make a good AD too if he wanted to.
Quote from: Show-Me Hog on Jan 27, 2026, 06:05 PMFirst impression is it looks like every other road game.
Except we're scoring too.
Not any great defense being played by either team
Mugged Ewin and no foul. Looks like we will be playing the refs, too. Also, rebounding is still a problem for us.
Guess we wanna give up 100 tonight.
Fucker can't miss from three.
Typical road performance
Quote from: Son of Spam on Jan 27, 2026, 06:26 PMFucker can't miss from three.
Behind wide open helps.
Is there another strategy in the playbook other than getting down by double digits on the road?
Quote from: Pig Benis on Jan 27, 2026, 07:49 AMNo need to thank me.
No thanks. Where's Hognrock? Can he restart the thread.
Pack is wearing Wagner out. Can't guard him.
Down 13. Just get it below 10 by the half. Don't want to dig too deep of a hole.
Quote from: Hogfan58 on Jan 27, 2026, 06:26 PMTypical road performance
They are shooting 60% from the field and 5/9 from 3. Another classic "they can't keep this up" defensive performance to start a road game except it doesn't matter when they get so far ahead.
How in the world was that not a foul on Knox's lay-in?
Acuff is so damn good. We're becoming a one man show.
I have an idea that might help. Let's go with a different strategy than get down double digits on the road in the first 10 minutes. What do think guys?
My idea is maybe try to deny them the easy 3 point looks
Also, can we guard man bun?
Quote from: Show-Me Hog on Jan 27, 2026, 06:33 PMHow in the world was that not a foul on Knox's lay-in?
That was a load of shit, no call. Then they call tack fouls on us.
Quote from: Too Big Pig on Jan 27, 2026, 06:28 PMNo thanks. Where's Hognrock? Can he restart the thread.
Couldn't agree more :thumbdown:
We ALWAYS make some 3 point shooter look invincible.
Quote from: HTL on Jan 27, 2026, 06:33 PMAcuff is so damn good. We're becoming a one man show.
Yeah but scoring is decently distributed so far. We need everyone to step up around him.
Not going to win many games when you give up 50 in the first half
No fix for the defense. Was easy to see even in preseason. It's mind boggling.
Wow. I thought refs quit calling that travel. I approve.
Giving up 48 in a half is insane. If we can hold them to 40 or less we should be ok.
Thomas 1-6, 0-2. Sometimes it's not your night. Ewin sure showed though.
acuff passing up shots for assists. 6 in the half.
need thomas and brazile to get going.
Thomas really looks like a freshman on the road. Totally different dude at home.

I'm not convinced he wouldn't benefit coming back for another year. I think he could play himself into a top 10 pick.

Tankathon has Acuff at 14 and Thomas at 23, currently.
Quote from: Barton Fink on Jan 27, 2026, 06:51 PMI'm not convinced he wouldn't benefit coming back for another year. I think he could play himself into a top 10 pick.
Agreed. Doubt it will happen but he would be smart to return.
Thomas. Man. Absolutely nuttin.
Shoulda taken the lead there. Hopefully Oklahoma has cooled off
If we could buy a three we'd be leading
We've only given up two points in three minutes. Let's keep this strategy going.
Wild out of control OU and they call a foul on Pringle. Jesus.
Ah, the mid range jump shot. thank you Thomas
We've picked it up a little on defense. That's good.
First couple of series it looks like _arius has found his D.
Needed a bucket there
Acuff. You can't stop him. You can only hope to contain him.
2-11 from 3.
Wow that was a bad possession
Touching the net is an automatic bucket? Fuck you.
Bullshit call
Weak call. Get 'em Cal.
Acuff to brazile!
Fuck you Oklahoma
Fukn quit missing wide open 3's mf'ers
Goddamn. Knox in his face and he drains it
We can't buy a 3pt shot
We can't buy a three and they can't miss one.
Quote from: Son of Spam on Jan 27, 2026, 07:24 PMWe can't buy a three and they can't miss one.
We actually had that one covered well too. Lucky motherfucker.
Where's Pat Bradley or Marvin Delph when you need them
I guess a two possession lead is too much to ask for?
I could be shooting hook shots from 3 and hitting more than we are.
Quote from: BASS on Jan 27, 2026, 07:32 PMI guess a two possession lead is too much to ask for?

Thomas with zero effort on that shot by Pack. Nolan would've strangled some of these players.

Quote from: Hogfan58 on Jan 27, 2026, 07:35 PMWe might as well stop taking them, we're not going to make them
Just let Acuff, Thomas, and Richmond drive every play
Thomas shot is ugly af like waterslide injury ugly.
Are we like 15% from the field? Holy crap
2-16 from 3.
We won't win another game.
What a bullshit call on Thomas
Feels like more? I feel like we're down by ten
Jesus Christ this defense. Do we even try to coach transition D?
Wtf? Such bullshit, that was a play on the ball.
What's this gay ass shit? Flagrant 1???
Of course because its us
Well that is some fucking bullshit.
Let's finish the last 4 minutes.
Oh Billy! You're my motherfucker!
Let's just dunk it all over them
LIKE THAT
Fuck em and let's fucking kill em the rest of the way.
Oop city! Finish these bitches off!
Did they really just open the doors due to weather? Seems a stupid move if you're playing a neighboring state.
Audible hog calls going into the break.
How in the fuck can you review that and call it a flagrant 1?
Fuck these refs!
Complete and total bullshit on the flagrant foul. I love Billy
Shooting 57% from 2; 12% from 3
Did they say nigel pack has a kindergartner?
Why are shooting 3s
Points in Paint 54 30
Make these...
tom hart has been around the sec long enough to not be surprised at hog fans showing up on the road.
I thought he was better than that.
Gotta let that go
I hate that guy now
God hates me
We're going to lose on a 3pt buzzer beater
We can't lose to these scrubs
That's fucking awful. You lose track of the ONE GUY you absolutely CANNOT lose track of and leave him wide open.
Pack is killing us. Gotta win these type games if you wanna be a 3 seed. Come on Hogs.
Flagrant 1!
The unstoppable Acuff
Acuff with the blow-by! And 1!

Bumping this
1 stop. 1 freaking stop.
Pack is only 6/10 from three. He's due.
Here it comes
Probably should just go ahead and foul them and get the ball back for a chance to win.
It's the only way to stop it
Brazile. Niiiice.

Yeah maybe he grew up a little. Stopped standing around clanging 3s in the first half and took it to the hoop.

That's a crazy stat, especially in today's college basketball. We earned it, but were extremely fortunate to win shooting 12% from 3.

Cal started his postgame presser talking about how close OU is and how good they are and how he would not want to play them in the near future. That they are going to win games. They compare to us at the beginning of the conference season last year. This can be interpreted in one of two ways, and probably both.
(1) He knows Moser is on the hot seat and he's putting in a good word for him, the best he can as an opposing coach, out of fraternity loyalty and the goodness of his heart.
(2) He knows Moser is on the hot seat and he would like to keep him around, much like when Saban used to praise Nutt. Or any SEC coach praised Pittman.
OU is just a football school. They've never been able to draw crowds even when they had Final Four quality teams.

Moser is a good coach. I'm not sure he's adapted to the change in personnel management required now with the portal and NIL.
Not sure OU is diverting enough resources to basketball to give him what he needs, either
