OU at Texas 7pm 1/25

[SoonerSpock]

What we do know with a relatively high degree of accuracy is the whorns have a height advantage, are more athletic and constantly play a very strong defense. While OU does not play strong defense for much of any game they play. We are lucky if Jennie gets a quarter or 2 of quality defense.

When they meet again in Norman what is most probable is the whorns will again control the pace of the game insuring OU likely scores less than 70 points. And Jennie wants the game in the high 80's if at all possible and that will not happen. But for certain we can ill afford to again shoot 35% from the field and 29% BTA and again win the boards especially the offensive boards. JMHO.

OU is very capable of keeping the whorns from controlling the pace of the game. But I agree with you that we can't do so by shooting 35 percent from the field and 29 percent from 3-point range.

UT definitely has a height advantage, but it won't come into play nearly as often if we can shoot the ball effectively, run the floor at every opportunity, then hit our free throws when the fouling starts.

Texas is nowhere close to 20 points better than Oklahoma.

The whorns have a little difficulty on the road with losses to OSU and Tech but I think the way we match up and how the whorns play defense and we don't the whorns are apt to win by double digits Jan. 25. We just need to hope the whorns shoot 33% from the field like they did last year in Norman when we eked out a 2 point win 65-63.
