They bring a guy off the bench, Carvel Teasett (tea set, yes).... who averaged 9 points and 2 assists per game. Good 3pt shooter, 6th man kind of guy.

I suspect a pretty easy 15-20 point win (on an average night) in this game for Oklahoma.. They have lots of new players and are an average Southland Conference team...

Will be a big rise in competition from Rogers State, but this should be an easy win. Good prep for the team as they head into that East Carolina game that should be a good challenge.
 
I appreciate these posts. Thank you.

Tech beat them 101-58 last year. If we only win by 15, I'm going to start getting concerned.

Yea but they only lost to TCU by 6.... #1 Gonzaga by 17.... and Washington State by 10.

So beating them by 15-20 would be in the same range as the #1 team in the country last year... It can happen.

If OU just plays average, they'll win by 20... If OU plays well, it could stretch to 25+... You don't get a ton of those in a season.
