The OU End

Quite satisfying. Young believed he was so good he could carry his team to something........except he didn't. He couldn't. And Kruger sold his soul to the devil and got one NCAA game out of the deal, and that was a loss. I almost never really wish for a team to lose, especially since MU is gone from our vicinity, but this was a perfect ending FOR ME and an absolutely perfect ending for anyone who hates the sellout that happened this year in Norman.

I read an article recently on Trae. Sports Illustrated: "NBA scouts dish on Trae Young"

Will have a career....but he ain't no Steph Curry. IF his body holds up.....

The Trae Young experiment is over.

I felt a little guilty watching OU and RI. I could not resist rooting against OU. I felt like I should be rooting for OU but the whole Trae Young one man band thing just does not sit well with me. Does anyone think that if Trae came to KU that he would have been able to play anything like he played at OU? Self would never allow it. As Senex said, Lon Kruger, a very decent coach, sold his soul for a 1 game losing record in the big dance. Sad.

I think we should have traded Malik for Young. Malik would love a game plan that just lets him go go go, and play no defense.

Young would have fit into Self's system and would have had an all american year. We would have been amazing.

Young, Carter and Miles love to play hero ball. I dislike, hero ball players.

I do think that his turnovers are a problem, and will be a problem in the NBA. Today he had 7 assists and 6 turnovers, which is............egregious. As for his attitude and immaturity, his parents have some responsibility there. It's clear that he came to OU with an approach that simply wasn't team focused, and Kruger enabled him. But his character was formed over 18 plus years living with his parents, particularly his father. Fault must lie with him, and them, to a significant degree.

I, too, had Rhode island winning and was so happy to see ok go down. So there Mr. young, you chose wrong but got your one game show with 28 points. Wonder if the scouts were impressed? Won't miss him next year. One and done he sure was

Great point about A/TO by Senex. I had thought for the “all universe” player the boys from Bristol annointed him he did turn the ball over....a lot. So here are the numbers. 272 assists...161 turnovers. My abacus says thats about a 1.6/1 ratio. So who to compare the all powerful one to? How about some no name from Raleigh? So far, cuz he’s still playing....254 assists and 94 turnovers. So...carry the one..divide by pi..add the remainder and I get about 2.7 to 1. Another complete assist better than Sir Young. Jevon Carter...225 to 94. Those are just two guys who played the whole season. Would have loved to include Evans, so far he only has 59 T/Os! His minutes were just lower than the other two. Simply stated, for all the hype Young is and was getting, Im not so sure the NBA will grade him out as well as the media might think. Yes, they draft on potential, but right now his handle is clearly not that great for someone who will be handling the ball a lot.

Almost off topic, but something caught my eye...near the end of the game...the, I think URI, sideline bench antics after a made three included one player in a kneeling sniper position mimicking shooting random people in the crowd...especially in these times seemed grossly inappropriate...boyz will be boyz, but might consider getting that kid a psych eval...or introducing him to the friendly local military recruiter
