Daily Bullets

Welcome to the offseason.

Hoops

Nice hops, bro. (Big Lead)

Why are we all acting like there’s a chance Smart could come back? (NewsOK)

Johnathan Lloyd on Oregon’s win: For me and D.A., it was [important] to get under him, use our quickness to our advantage, because he’s real strong. He was their heart and soul, so we tried to slow him down. (Sports Illustrated)

10 thoughts on the game. (PFB)

This headline tells the story. (Addicted to Quack)

Hah, I’m a little strong too, said Marcus Smart’s defender. (Oregonian)

This photo pretty much sums up how I feel about yesterday. (NewsOK)

Ford on Oregon not being a No. 12 seed: I think [the committee] would admit that at this point. You could see that they’re a really good basketball team. (Yahoo)

Dana Altman on Marcus Smart: If I was an NBA guy, I’d want him on my team. He’s going to get better and better, and with that body he is going to be a handful. There’s no doubt about it. (NewsOK)

Dana Altman on the offensive rebounding: That was the one area where we felt we could dominate the game. (ESPN)

At least Pete got high marks! (NewsOK)

Good stuff from Berry on Marcus Smart’s exit stage right. I’m already worried about next season. (NewsOK)

Looking ahead to next year. Apparently Dave Telep thinks Markel Brown will be coming off the bench. His starting five is Clark, Forte, Nash, Murphy, and Cobbins. That’s a 16-win starting five btw. (ESPN Insider)

Brian Williams: Overall, it was a good season. We had a lot of guys step up and make a big impact, make big plays. Everybody contributed this year. (NewsOK)

I really don’t think lack of experience was the issue. (Tulsa World)

ICYMI: Nolo, Quade, Amilian, and I did a NCAA Tournament player draft the other day. (PFB)

Stevie Clark, Oklahoma Gatorade player of the year. (NewsOK)

Football

David Ubben goes over the weakest and strongest part of OSU’s roster. I think you could almost argue the secondary being the weakest part at this point. (ESPN)

Speaking of the secondary, here’s Gina on the safeties. (NewsOK)

Ubben has OSU winning the Big 12’s football bracket. (ESPN)

Other

Oklahoma State is in second place in the wrestling tournament. (NewsOK)

And here’s a great recap. (Flowrestling)

Can’t believe I’m saying this but I agree with Marshall Henderson. (Yahoo)

I can’t stop watching this. (Yahoo)

At least none of us is this bro? (Big Lead)

I’m all in on Harvahhhd. (Yahoo)

Thought this was hilarious.

Boss wouldn’t let me off work to watch #OkState vs #Oregon today, otherwise I’d be there. GO COWBOYS!

Yup.

Said it before the tourney, #okstate would've LOVED VCU's 5 seed. RT @Jake_Trotter: Hard to believe that Oregon and Akron were both 12 seeds

Hmmm….

Travis Ford is OSU's modern day Leonard Hamilton. Good guy. Great recruiter. Not a great basketball coach.

Meh.

Markel Brown on if this season was a disappointment because of how it ended: "Not at all. … This wasn't a bad year for us." #okstate

At least I got to write the headline for the Oklahoman today?

This is crazy.

I’d watch this.
