What a strange game.....going to end up winning going away. Very much mirrored the NW State game last month.

the last 48.3 sec are important to some lol

Fears didn't play most of the first half and now has 18

Nice victory for the Sooners. Had to have it.

Agree. A loss here would have proven incredibly costly in three months if we are near the bubble.

Speaking of, what a disaster for the ACC in the noncon. They complained loudly about only getting four teams in last season and talked in the offseason about what a good league it is, but they have already done irreparable damage to their chances to improve on that. If UK wins tonight, the SEC will go 9-0 on the night and clinch the challenge already.

win and Cover boom

Again, thank goodness these guys aren’t very good. Sam gifted them a chance for six points that trip and they only got two.

Glad Providence sucks as well. Beat a solid byu team.

Tech bettors needed Sam to check back in to have a chance.

Good halftime talk from Porter?

Not to me brother.....I had OU on the last leg of a 3-team moneyline parlay (with Bradley and A*M). Cha-ching.

Luke is earning the right to split minutes with Sam imo

Luke is pressing and may surpass sam. It's wild

 

[Soonerinkc]

Much better 2nd half. Good win

Go ahead and try to pretend Tech is any good. They are terrible. I never said Providence sucks, I said they probably aren’t a tourney team and best case scenario it will be a Q-2 win.

Fears has Trae Young/nba potential. Want to see a little more tho

 

[Boom Soon]

The better team won tonight.

 

[MercedeSooner]

Solid workman like win, especially coming off the high of the Bahamas tourney. I really like how this team continues to respond with good possessions when teams make runs at them.

hopkins came back tonight and had 16 ... he makes them a tourney team i think

Absolute stud.

The guards were phenomenal again.

Big win!

They don’t have any more chances to help their noncon resume and the Big East is not off to a good start as a conference. It’s hard to see how they could recover from being over 100 in the NET at this stage.

Never said tech was good: I warned in multiple posts about a hangover. It was real
