Point guard Tommy Mason-Griffin, who scored 20 points, admitted the message was sent by OU coach Jeff Capel following Saturday's 1-point victory over Northern Colorado, in Sunday's practice and even prior to Monday's game
"He warned us. He told us if we didn't come out ready to play, rebound and defend, it wasn't going to be easy," he said. "We came out trying to outscore them without defending. And that's what happened."
