OU Head Coach Lon Kruger
Opening Statement:
"I thought the team did a lot of good things but not enough good things to beat a Texas club, especially here. We had a lot of good possessions, especially in the first half. The first half got to a good start but in the second half, when Texas went on a run, we had a lot of possessions that were not good. With that, Texas did a good job of getting second shots, collecting loose balls and turning those into buckets. (Sheldon) McClellan had a great night. We have good weapons, but we have to continue to do things better. We have to take care of the ball and play with a more physical presence.

Any time you're on the road, you need a margin if you can create one, especially in the second half where I thought we gave away too many possessions...possessions where we did not get good shots, good looks, or just did not execute things well. Texas took advantage of that by getting second-shot buckets. We did not rebound well on our end and we lost loose balls. We just have to stick our nose in more aggressively."

On Texas' ability to get the open look to the base line:
"They had (Sheldon) McClellan, yet Brown got a couple (open shots). They were setting screens with their big guys on the base line and trying to get McClellan or Brown extra tension at the top. McClellan and Brown then stepped up there to make big baskets at critical times. I give credit to both of them for that."

On losing the lead late in the game:
"Any time you are on the road with a good ball club like Texas, you would like to take advantage of the good start that we had. They were able to cut into it and get the game down to four (points) at the half. We widened it (the lead) back out in the second half but we could not sustain it."

Uggghhhh

I can name four big mistakes that cost OU 7 points. Twice they just gave the ball away on an inboudns play. Blair steped on the midcourt line and Osby missed a free throw late. There were also at least two horrible fast breaks given up in the second half where had no one back to defend. If OU can figure out how to eliminate this type of thing next year, they will win games like the Texas game.
