Trae Young looks very average lately...

[gracetoyou]

Oklahoma looks awful lately as a result

 

[EliteBlue]

His work load was way too high for a freshman. He isn't use to playing at this level for this long at this intensity compared to where he was a year ago. It'll be interesting to see if he can catch a second wind before the season is over.

We've seen it happen here as well but to a lesser extent bc we have never had a guy that is 90% of our production so as a collective group our teams usually overcome the freshmen wall.

He still puts up big numbers but ou is about to have 10 losses.

 

[Schwagg]

OU should not be in the tourney at this point. Would love to see ESPN's POY in the NIT.

If OU isn’t in then UK certainly isn’t in either.

 

[TheDude73]

Yet there they are still ranked with a worse record than we have (not saying we deserve to be ranked, just commenting on the absurdity of “rankings” in general).

OU sucks. Both teams today just lollygagged back and forth. Was a laughable display of basketball.

 

[anon_q409idbs5m40a]

Don't know what's happened to OU but they've really faded. At the first of the season they looked like a legitimate FF contender but may not even make the tournament after this loss.

They’ve got 10 losses.

We aren’t far behind, man...

 

[Cawood86]

You cannot speak ill of Young or OK on this board. But hey, he gets to shoot all he wants.

 

[JohnBlue_]

.19% from 3 in the last five games.

Is that good? Asking for a friend......

 

[JFCats22]

They’ve got 10 losses.

We have 9.

They also have the #1 SOS in the country and more top 25/50 wins than we do

 

[Jazzycat]

He would have been a massive upgrade to UK’s pg situation and he would have gotten the talent around him involved more. Love SGA and Green but, this team needs a much stronger pg...

 

[Xception]

Opponents have adjusted and being a freshman he hasn’t adapted, he has also hit a wall that most freshman do. Remember when T. Jones came out strong and then faded as the season went on when teams focused on him.

I don’t think they were ever a Final 4 contender, but they certainly looked good when all the 3s were falling. Now no one can through it in the ocean and it’s not like they have a defense that they can fall back on. They’ve always been a sieve at that end of the floor.

 

[Calsthebomb]

Teams can focus on him because the rest of Oklahoma sucks. That's why he should've came here.

Funny, according to the CBS graphic, UK has the #1 SOS.

Glad they lost opens up a top 25 spot for the cats

Oklahoma has lost 5 in a row and 8 of there last 10. They are currently in worse shape than us and will likely lose 2-3 more. They will be lucky to reach 20 wins at 16-10 right now.

 

[JFCats22]

I’m not saying OU is great, not at all.

But, Young is still a stud. Would love him on our team.

 

[HenryMuto]

Give Kentucky Young and this team is a top 10 team.

 

[$Z71$]

Give Kentucky Young and this team is a top 10 team.

Explain why please? He doesn’t fix the fact we hav several guys who either show up or are non existent. He doesn’t keep diallo Washington and Gabriel from commiting careless turnovers every game. He doesn’t really solve any of our issues other than he is a better ball handler and can shoot from outside. He wouldn’t be this teams savior. Would we have won more games? Sure but 1-3 max more.

According to ESPN they were for a short while, however, since Big 12 play they've really tanked. Weren't they Top 10 earlier in the season?
