“Early in the second half, I got elbowed after a lay-up. Then I had to come out of the game,” said Doolittle, who also has two black eyes. “I realized when I put my hand on my nose, it wasn’t straight anymore. So, I had to go back to the locker room, tried to adjust it back there. It didn’t work. I’ll have it fixed for the next few days.”
Doolittle said Monday’s temporary mask was “not pleasant at all” and he was asked how his breathing was during a Chesapeake Energy Arena practice session.
“It’s kind of hard to tell because we didn’t really go up and down that much today,” Doolittle said. “But only one nostril works, so I’ll deal with that during the game.”
It’s not only Doolittle’s response that will be monitored on Tuesday night. How will this OU team react to their first three-game losing streak, especially with their Tournament hopes dwindling?
