    GAME 35- THE CROWN - OKLAHOMA (19-15) vs COLORADO (17-15) 7:00pm CST on FS1

    Based on Sadly, "Colorado JV" is not a stretch. Three of their four best players left the team. They literally played this game with one player averaging more than 7 PPG. Would we have lost 90-86 in OT if Colorado had all their best players and we were missing Pack, Reid and Davis...

    Football question

    Obviously, there was a negative impact, but I am going to play Devil's Advocate here. My worry with Mateer was that he was struggling with accuracy beyond 15 yards both before and after his injury. That is something I am worried about heading into this coming season. Throwing some nice deep...

    Gotcha...you meant this particular site. Fortunately, most of the posters seem reasonable with their expectations. And I would agree with your take that the ladies need to get more athletic. Most of the losses to the elite schools this year were blowout losses (indicating a talent...

    Who wants Jenny fired!? That's obviously not happening. She has been amazingly consistent being a #3, #4, or #5 seed in the Dance all five years at OU. She just needs to take that proverbial "next step" so we can compete with those 5-6 schools who at the top of the food chain year in and year...

    Perhaps it is known by some, just not me. I read the book "The Undefeated" by Jim Dent which was all about OU's 47-game football winning streak back in the 1950s. It was mentioned that OU built their football tradition shortly after WWII when they hired Jim Tatum (who had an assistant named...

    Wow, that's a bombshell. I never thought of Kelvin as paying anyone to play at OU. What I heard about James is that when Capel called, his brother talked to him pretending to be Damion. The reason for that is he simply did not want to play for Capel since he committed to play for Kelvin...

    Thanks for the info, Coach!

    2025 - 2026 Coaching Carousel

    I hope you are correct so that their coaching search will end mercifully. Several years back, they went through the most humiliating public coaching search in NCAA history with no less than six candidates publicly shooting them down. We got a reminder of that when the St Louis coach just...

    Hmmm...wonder why. Once he was healthy, he got his fair share of playing time. I doubt any school is going to break the bank for him. Can you share why you think it's 50/50 at best?

    Uhh, no they won't :-). Did you see that choke-job at the end? Just let him foul you! They got greedy...and paid the ultimate price.

    It's hard to fathom that prior to today, OU had been to the Final Four TWICE since Arizona last made it there (2001). That was a gorilla they just got off their back today. I believe they're going to cut down the nets for the second time.

    No question. His stats were pretty much down across the board, especially FG percentage. If you look at his stats for his entire four years, you see a decent progression from his sophomore year to his junior year, but nothing that screams "WOW". He had better players around him at Houston...

    What's ironic about that is the fact that Kelvin's highest rated recruiting class during his time at OU turned out to be arguably his least productive one. After leading OU to the Final Four and Elite Eight in back-to-back years, everything was rolling at OU. Kelvin signed his first top-10...

    The game isn't over yet, but this prediction is not aging too well...26 points in more than 28 minutes of action. Good grief. At this point, I'm not sure Illinois needs to score again in this game to win...hope I'm wrong. C'mon, Houston!

    I have enormous respect for Kelvin Sampson, but have to admit watching Houston's offense in the first half of this game has brought back a few memories :) . We last won the Conference Tournament Championship in 2003...even though we literally did not make a single basket in the last 15 minutes...
