After Pigface's third straight 3 pt shot ............

[Powercat Posse]

that put OK St up 15-9 four minutes into the game.   

Controlled the game after that.   Next 26 minutes =
We went on a 55-27 run
Held OK St to 10-29 Fg
Forced 15 TOs

   Always nice when you force more TOs than combined made FGs (10) and FTs (4) over such a long stretch like 26 minutes

And offensively having 66 points at the 9 minute mark of 2nd half was nice to see at home.   Im sure our PPP was pretty good at that point.

Putting a good defender on the Hobbit was a good idea. Sprads struggled, to put it gently.

I wish people would stop saying this.  He has "struggled" all season, which means he sucks.

yeah McGruder did a much better job on Paige using his length ........ but Paige still knocked down 2 tough 3s with Rodney right in his face. 

After Frank pulled Will early after the 3 3pters in 70 seconds by paige ....... the Pokes turned the ball over 1 every 3 poss (18 TO in final 56 poss)

Frank disagrees...

Martin also mentioned the overall play of Will Spradling, who he said "... was engaged with things on both ends of the floor. I thought that he played the best game in three or four weeks. He gave us a lot of steady leadership on both ends of the floor."

It was clear he was upset with Will after the third make by Paige as the 6 minutes he played in the first half would show. But in the 2nd half he was solid and he had 6 assists with no turnovers in 16 minutes.

I concur.  I think Will misplayed 1 of those 3 made threes, the other two was Page making plays.  The only thing Will didn't do after that was shoot the ball well and I can live with that if he is okay everywhere else.  He is still getting into the paint and to th rim and just passing the ball out, and I think he is now the only guard incapable of finding JO open, but we're crawling before we're walking.

2nd half was Sprads best performance in a while.  No question.  1st half.. Not so much.

You're an illiterate moron, my stance on Will hasn't changed all season, sorry you're not bright enough to get that.

no reason to goad people.  Just discuss the game, leave agendas at the door. At least for a few more days.

Not trying to goad...I actually like discussion.  When confronted with evidence, people who ENJOY discussions, will consider the evidence, comment on it, rebut or agree.  MIR simply goes right to name calling and PI.  It's his m.o.   I get it, because it's anonymous and it's a way for SOME to get their rocks off, feel superior or otherwise make up for whats lacking (or causing problems) in their life.

Will hit JO for an oop in the second half yesterday.

According to the official stats, of his seven assists 4 were to Rodney, 2 to Jamar, and 1 to Vic.  BTW 6 of his 7 assists were on jump shots, the other was a layup for Rodney.  I'd be willing to assume that trend would hold true for his career to this point.
