Down 68-38 at half. Oklahoma has hit 14-20 from three. Young has 25 pts and 10 assists at half. Wow.

Shut down that one guy and you shut down Oklahoma. I would love to see Dakota covering him.
What will Chissy be crying about this week? Wonder if anyone had to get stitches.
Christian James had 19 in the first half on 5/6 threes ... Their center was 2/3 threes and 11 rebounds with a couple of 2s
I am watching the game with a buddy of mine who happens to be an OU fan and I said the same thing.
of course they do, as do most teams with a star who has double digit assists. Belichek has made a super-bowl living off of shutting down the #1 offensive weapon of the other team. No disputing that philosophy .... But 19 points in the first half would be damn good for most players on most teams.
Oklahoma is definitely a team I wouldn't want to see in the tournament. Shooting 60% from three and 80% from the line. That's scary good. Every now and then a team like that will get hot and they are unbeatable. Reminds me of when Kansas just couldn't miss.
OU does not appear to have front court depth. I would not be afraid of them in the NCAA. Purdue could dominate inside and control tempo. Plus Dakota on Young would not give him the free reins that NW did. I suspect that pressure and fatigue would reduce the shooting percentages markedly.
Northwestern did nothing on defense to help their cause. I only watched the first half and they had a lot of open shots that did not fall. Most of the shots were long range, but they also had shots inside that didn't fall, Man they just could not hit the broad side of a barn last night. Combine that with no defensive play and the results speak for themselves.
