GAME 30- OKLAHOMA (15-14) vs MISSOURI (20-9) 6:00pm CST on ESPNU

Moser has the boys playing well! One more year!
I'm guessing that post raised the blood pressure of a few on the board :-). If we can beat Texas, we would be able to get ourselves on the bubble with 3-4 wins in the SEC Tournament. 4 wins would put us at 21-15. Regardless, I don't see "one more year" unless we make it to the Dance. Watching us play at a high level now just makes those losses against Mississippi State (lopsided) and South Carolina (borderline competitive) even more inexcusable. There was absolutely no reason for us to have started 1-9 in conference play.
 
I'm going to keep it positive by going down memory lane for my most memorable "senior night" win over Missouri. It was the 2000 season and the fans were rocking as OU was blowing them out. With about 2-3 minutes left in the game, the OU fans made it clear who they wanted to see enter the game - senior benchwarmer Oleg Retzov. Watching it on TV, we could all hear the chant "We want Oleg! We want Oleg!" Kelvin sent him in and the crowd went absolutely nuts. They fed him the ball and he took two shots, and you could hear the collective "awe!" when he missed them. That place would have erupted if he made a shot. Oleg was probably the worst scholarship player OU has had in my 50 years a fan...but the fans didn't care. They just wanted to see him make a basket. It was memorable even though he didn't score.
 
We've clinched a non-losing season, so there's that.

We're 16-14. A loss to Texas and in the first round of the SEC tournament makes us 16-16.

I'd rather win as much as possible, though.
