Losing Mo Gibson hurt us

Say what you will but OU got the better of the deal. McBride is ok, but Mo is starting for OU now and is a major contributor. I don't think McBride is. He may turn into one but at this point he is not. I just wish our fans would be more realistic about things. There is no shame in admitting losing him to OU hurt us.

He wanted to run the point here and he doesn’t have the handle. He has accepted his role at OU, something it didn’t do here. It is what it is. McBride, in my opinion, has been one dimensional so far.

Mo did not fit here at all. Coach and him butted heads. Great player, but kind of like Woolridge.

Why bring up Gibson, he was recruited by OU and left. Nothing NT could have done to kept him.

Mo didn’t want to play McBrides role. He wanted Hamlets. This turnover worked out great for both sides.

Losing Mo definitely hurt us. It's one of the main reasons Javion has struggled. He's not getting as many 1 v 1 matchups because the player gaurding Drez is going to help everytime.

Mac built this team with Hamlet's dribble-drive and Zac posting up as the focal points anchored by 2 wings players that you would have to gaurd at all times (Reese and Mo).

It would have created mismatches all over the place. (Including rebounding with Thomas)

Get McBride to start knocking down the threes consistently and they will relax that double on Hamlet.

2 things here... first, I have been trying to figure out what is wrong with Javior all season and this is the first time it made sense. Drez doesn't command attention yet like Mo did leaving all that pressure on Hamlet. AGW, that was a great point and makes so much sense to me now. I know that there is more to it than that, butwhat a puzzle piece I was missing.

Second.... My old man played BBall at OU... He is absolutely stoked about Mo and gives me Sh*t about it constantly. I am happy for the young man and hope nothing but the best for him! I wasn't mad at Woolridge, in fact I still follow and am stoked his career is still going. I fee the same about Mo.
