Final home game of the year

FYI, I won't be around today to do scoring updates so if anyone wants to pick up the slack go for it.

We might be lucky to not watch this OU team in HD.

The local KC sports station was talking today about all the Big 12 games. They mentioned this one as a good snoozefest. The host of the show said "so, if you want to get some sleep today, just tune the tv to the OU-aTm game".

I laughed. :ez-laugh:

Is OU starting to take their usual 2nd half snooze. Lead down to 4, 51-47 under 10 min to go.

 

[Romulus]

Score?

 

[opsooner]

Score?

61-60; OU ball w 46s remaining

 

[Soonerman82]

Oh dear Come on Sooners!!!

 

[opsooner]

63-62 OU ball w 15s remaining

 

[sperry]

The announcers acting like OU caught a huge break because the ball was off pledger, ignoring the fact that Pledger lost the ball due to being crushed on the arm.

 

[Pizza the Hutt]

What a cluster f of a finish. But at least we won.

 

[ouboomer]

Sooners dont foul but survive the final 3 attempt by A&M..

 

[opsooner]

65-62 final - good guys prevail

 

[sperry]

Well, glad we won at least. If we somehow win 2 in the Big XII tourney is there any way we go to the NIT?

The announcers seemed to think ONE win might get us there.

And if UT is a lock for the Dance, a lot of folks on this board were wrong about what OU would have needed to do. All I kept hearing was that there was no way 9 wins would be enough, and that 10 wins might not be enough. UT is likely going to have 9, with a VERY weak OOC schedule to boot. If they win one in the Big 12 tourney, they'll have 20 wins overall.

The end of today's game might have looked better in black and white.

If Texas beats Kansas, that may put them in. Other than that they'll have to win some Big 12 Tourney games and probably 3 of them. If Texas gets in, this helps OU's shot at the NIT because OSU won't have the overall record to get in with a sub .500 record most likely.
