It's one thing to lose; it's quite another to embarrass yourselves against your rival, and that's just what happened tonight. Entering the game, texas was the worst rebounding team in the Big 12; tonight they outrebounded OU by 17. We came out in a fog and never really came out of it.
I don't want to hear another word from Coach Moser about the crowds. Tonight was arguably the biggest game of his career at OU--at least it could have been. Sold-out house, lots of enthusiasm about the program, playing a rival that's been struggling--and the team laid a freaking egg. They were in no way ready to play.
I don't know if Loyola-Chicago has any rivals, but Moser doesn't seem to have a grasp of the importance of rivalry games. He's a combined 1-9 against oswho and texas and that one win was by two points in OT in Norman. This game was as disappointing as any I can remember in recent years.
