    Note: Tonight's game starts at 6pm CST, rather than the usual 7 or 7:30 pm, and is on ESPN 2.

    Tonight, the Sooners roll into town with a #24 ranking, a 9-4 record, and a hot streak including a victory over Kansas. This is a good team. Beware of Manek, a blond, floppy-haired forward who does it all for the Sooners. Point guard Austin Reaves leads the scoring with 15.2 ppg, followed by De'Vion Harmon at 12.8 ppg.

    Austin Reaves - G 15.2 ppg 5.1 rpg
    De'Vion Harmon - G 12.8 ppg
    Brady Manek - F 11.8 ppg 4.2 rpg
    Umoja Gibson - G 8.7 ppg
    Kur Kuath - F 7.9 ppg 5.1 rpg
    Alondes Williams - G 7.9 ppg

    I've seen a few of their games this year. We should beat them inside. Kuath 6'10" from Sudan is solid, though not spectacular inside. Again, watch out for Manek 6'9". This guy is deceptively good. He'll grab the boards, hit a jumper, hit a 3 pointer, make a steal, make an assist, do it all. The Sooners run a lot of stuff on offense through Manek. Still, while the above two are quite capable, they simply don't match our athleticism inside. Keep Manek tightly guarded, don't let him loose or lose track of where he is, and get tough on the boards and we should win inside.

    Our Horns will play without our glorious leader--Shaka. Fortunately, Shaka has instilled enough discipline and b-ball intelligence into this squad that they'll manage allright without him tonight.

    This is an important game that could push us well above all teams in the conference not named Baylor, or head us in the direction of a sizeable pack of good ranked teams below Baylor. We've got to be tough on defense and fight through screens. OU defends well too. Our tough D, hit our shots and free throws, keep Manek in check = Longhorn victory.

    And, in case anyone forgot, OU sucks.

    I think Horns will have a tough time tonight. They will need a hot shooting night.
    They will play hard. With heart.
    Need team discipline.

    We’re playing with 8 scholarship players. Let’s see what we’re made of.

    Turner is our coach tonight.
    He has years as an SMU assistant coach before coming our way.

    First 10 minutes have been as undisciplined as we have played this year. Where are our leaders- Jones and Coleman? They need to take charge. GB and Kai jacking up bad 3s.

    Donovan Williams showed up to play tonight. He’s got a pretty good inside game.

    Wow! Hamm goes over the back; almost knocks the player down and shrugged his shoulders like he was shocked the referee called it

    K Jones is out of control. He needs to play team ball. So do the guards. This game is on track to be a season low for assists

    Maybe Shaka can appear by Zoom in the locker room at halftime.

    Turner is no Shaka.

    Dumb early shot by Jones; then a super dumb play by Williams to commit the foul. :whiteflag::brickwall: :facepalm:

    As much as it pains me, it was an easy decision putting money on OU tonight. I hope i lose it, but doesn't appear so.

    Texas knows it cant get into foul trouble tonight yet everyone seems to have at least 2 fouls by halftime. I bet we finish the game with 5 players. :(

    Kai has been off tonight. A Jones and Williams are carrying us. We need to hit the boards more aggressively, like we usually do.

    Calling that a foul is about as bad as calling a penalty in soccer when a player dives at the slightest contact by a defender. Our guy barely touched him.

    Too many silly fouls. ou shot 17 FTs. Need to be more patient offensively. Too many one-on-one plays. Shut down Reaves.

    Correction, we might have to forfeit with about 5 mins left the way the fouls are being called this gamem

    The stupid undisciplined play, exemplified by the fouling is keeping the momentum in ou’s court.
    Coleman is fouling like a freshman.:facepalm:

    OU in the bonus with 16+ minutes left in the half. That has to be a record. Smh

    Horns are notorious for leading in fouling. But when they have only 8 players suiting up and still playing out of control!?!? BAD!!
