UTEP had the size, athletic ability, and talent you will find in the Big 12. Capel knew it, saying they were the best team they had faced yet this year. To me, this was the first test against the quality of competition OU will face on most nights in the Big 12.
Now, it sucks that this has to be the teams 4th loss, but the team will need to use this game as the measuring stick in terms of how they need to improve for the Big 12 which is now not far away.
I felt like UTEP embarrassed Oklahoma tonight. They led by 18 at half and OU never got it to single digits. UTEP played the role of "better team" that came out to take the air out of the ball and not lose and still kept their double-digit lead through the second half. They didnt play like they did in the 1st half, but it didnt feel like it was because OU played better, but more like they were playing with a 20 point lead. I havent seen OU get dominated like that since Capels first year.
