That, and the dreaded black 1-5
Black 1-5 helped to win the okie st game in Orlando.
It wasn't even a "play" it was just telling the defense not to switch on a pick.
A "play" was that bad boy that was drawn up at the end of the Tulsa game in the 08-09 season.
Black 1-5 was Tarik's minutes to foul ratio.
The play that you are talking about was fake the ball to Tyreke and give it to Antonio Anderson and let him drive into the lane past 3 defenders and make a layup with no time left.
That was kind of like the have Joe Jackson drive the length of the court and draw away 2 defenders and then throw a cross court pass to Carmouche for the game winner.
I still get nervous watching the nail biting games.

Why are you revising history that we can still remember? We got hammered 6 times last year, but NEVER from start to finish.
1. Lost at OSU 101-80, but only lost the second half by 3 points.
2. Lost at home to Cincy, 69-53, but only trailed at the half, 27-26.
3. Lost at SMU 87-72, but we were tied at the half 29-29.
4. Lost at Cincy 97-84, but only trailed by 1 with 16 minutes left in the game.
5. Lost in the AAC tourney to UConn 72-53, but we were down 16, only 45 seconds into the second half, and lost by 19, so only lost from there by 3 points.
6. Lost to UVA in NCAA tourney 78-60, but only lost by 3 in the second half.
All other losses were 10 points or less.
So, not only are you wrong, but we never had ONE GAME last year where we were "absolutely hammered from start to finish." In every case, we got rolled in one half, and were essentially even in the other half.
Why do you argue facts with people who have made up their minds?
So this was posted in the other thread when Josh said it in the video and nobody made much hay about it but when its posted in a separate thread then the beasts come out? Fake controversy with bored people itiching to argue and bash

I wish I had learned earlier what I learned here that many people have a tenuous grasp on reality, ignore facts, and lack perspective and balance. They are like sheep ready for shearing. I could have been rich.

I don't know. Character flaw, I guess. This one was so recent I actually remembered it, lol. I just had to look up the specific point details.

Semantics
Semantics? Seriously? So if we're tied at the half and then get drummed, or vice versa, you can't understand the difference between that and "absolutely hammered from beginning to end?"
That's yo problem, bro. That ain't semantics. Nobody is arguing that we didn't get hammered. Just taking issue with "getting hammered from beginning to end." Big difference, especially the ones where we were close at the half.
I know. You hate Josh, so you don't care. Then don't play, and don't argue an indefensible position.

I think the folks who think like this and/or remember it that way go into some sort of emotionally eschewed perception faze. I have been on many game threads. Some cannot handle even the slightest imperfection in a close game that we win.
