A terrific win for our Sooners. I won't lie--I was very frustrated in the first half. Our offense was sluggish and our defense was not up to par, either. It felt a bit miraculous that we were tied at the half.
But the second half was a different story. The guys defended and rebounded with more energy and grit and they picked the pace up on offense. And we hit our free throws down the stretch. Once the Sooners built a built a lead, they kept BYU at arm's length the rest of the way.
I will say this for BYU: When they hit a 3-pointer, it's a thing of beauty. I don't think any of their made deep shots even touched the rim.
And going forward, can we somehow manage to get from Hugley what they get from Traore?
