Thanks to DirecTV, Pops (and my mother) watched Saturday’s game. He had some interesting thoughts, some I’ll share here as a means of getting into what I took away from the conference-opening loss to the Sooners.
He likes Denis Clemente’s energy, which I agreed with. It’s funny – we’d heard for so long about how fast he was that when we saw him early in the year, we were underwhelmed. But he puts so much pressure on the defense in transition, and his on-ball defense is really impressive.
