Like to see OU run up tempo in the second half, that would tire Texas slow bigs.

Looked to me like the bigs of Texas are dominating the paint. How many blocks do they have now???

4 in a row vs Texas I know that has to sting for Longhorn fans. It's no wonder their fans are so obsessed with OU. Lol

Gritty win on a relatively tough shooting night. Texas played a solid game.

Loved the way we fought back. Trailed a lot of the second half.

I really felt the game was well officiated, just one really bad call on the charge where Thomas was clearly set. But that's it.

I was there and it was great!! They seemed to struggle to get back into a rhythm after the KState's fiasco, but they never gave up! Proud of the the guys!!! The officiating, for the most part, was very good!! Nothing to complain about! The crowd was very loud at the end and helped them out!! Great night to sweep Texas!! Boomer!!!

OU was ice cold in the first half, which allowed texas to keep it close. At one point midway during the first half, OU went 10 possessions and only scored two points. Fortunately, they played good D and texas missed a few shots to keep it close. Our guys went on a nice run right before half to take the lead.

The horns' big guys were very impressive and their shot blocking may have intimidated the Sooners as they struggled to drive the lane and every shot was fiercely contested. Although OU did trail most of the second half, that 10-0 run with about 2 minutes left gave OU the lead they never relinquished. I did think it was interesting that the largest lead by OU or texas was no more than 6 points, so it was a very closely contested game with numerous lead changes and ties throughout the entire game.

The officiating was very good and was a far cry better than that debacle in Manhattan last week!

For the first time in about 8 years, I watched some of an OU game (this game). I lay in bed last night with nothing to find on the boob tube, since the All-Star break is still in swing.
I hope I go at least another 8 years or more before watching another college bball game. How boring with the 35 second shot clock and just horrible horrible shooting and offenses.

It looked to be an exciting win for those that were there though. From the limited time I watched, I surprisingly saw Texas, with superior size, living and dying by the 3 rather than trying much of a post game.
