Sorry moved onto softball for my wife let me know how the season goes 😂🤣 even tho softball hasn’t started yet 🤣😂

I am on my way up there from Wichita Falls. I’m hoping it is the same result as last year. The only good thing about being back in Oklahoma is getting to eat at Tucker’s onion burgers.

I have tried to watch softball but I have realized I hate bastardized baseball.  

Why so late? 9 tip off?

SEC tripleheader tonight with tip offs at 5, 7, and 9.

OU is a team that shoots very well but is pants at rebounding, and its overall defense is sketchy.  I always thought this would be our best chance of avoiding a 0-5 start to the conference.

BTW, Calipari's Arkansas team is currently 0-4.   Nice return on the Tyson money there so far. 

Our last two opponents that were ranked 1 and 2 just torched ranked opponents by 18 and 22 points tonight and last night.  Home games, not road games for them, but 20 point margins says something.

Our team still has a chance to prove itself.  It needs to continue to improve on both ends, and it might not be improving fast enough, but I'm seeing improvement. 

Nice start.  9-4 Horns.  We've twice slapped the ball off the driving guard's knee. 

I am getting an "unexpected error" on my TV feed at SEC+.  So please keep up the comments.

Nice transition basket through defenders.  Johnson with pass ahead to Larry to Kaluma to drive the lane.  Was beautiful transition offense.

Go to SEC network.

Same problem.

Onyema fed twice at point blank.  Fumbled the first pass, but saved it from going out of bounds, only for Pope to utterly brick a three.  Drew the foul on the second. Will go to the line for 2 shots.  TV timeout.  Texas up 16-12.

Just came back.  Fingers crossed...

It's usually an issue when the feed switches from one game to another.

We're only winning because of OU's turnovers right now. 

Kent comes in and immediately gets a rebound.  Good to see.

pope with a Tony Parker runner

And just like that we are up 10 after Pope cans a three.

Larry to Shedrick was nice

Larry finds the crease and dishes for the Shedrick clam.  we're up 12.  Well, 10 after OU got the rebound after a miss and the putback.  Make that 13 after we hit a three.  Make that 11 after they hit a 2.  Fast action.l

Announcers:  That's a play on.  That's not a foul.

Video:  Fears diving into Shedrick's knees.

Mark is really having a great game so far.

These OU announcers are...OU announcers.  But I think they know basketball, despite the bias.

Wow.  Pryor in the first half.
