OU cannot overcome terrible start, downed by Sun Devils

Believe it or not, it was actually 4-0 for OU on Saturday night. And then, well, it was a 27-2 run that sort of let you know how this game was going to go.

Arizona State with an all-out assault early put this one away to give OU its third defeat of the season, 86-70, seeing the four-game winning streak for the Sooners snapped.

All you can do is try to shake this one off because a huge one coming up next Saturday with Bedlam in Oklahoma City.

Speaking of Oklahoma State, the Cowboys will enter undefeated at 9-0. And OU got to see just a bit of what this team can do. In the first game of the doubleheader in Phoenix, OSU outlasted Grand Canyon.

OU smoked OSU at the Paycom Center last season. Should be a much different story this time around.

Head coach Porter Moser was really worried about the transition capability of ASU. About its ability to score in bunches.

That’s exactly what happened.

OU worked the margin down to 15 points on a couple of occasions in the second half and a Kuol Atak 3-pointer had it 77-63. But it was far too little and far too late.

OU played much better in the second half of the second half, but the damage had been done.

It was an aggressive non-conference schedule for OU, with the majority of the games coming away from Norman.

But three losses is, obviously, not what the hope was coming from the schedule. And a fourth one could absolutely be looming because of how well OSU is playing.

OU is taking the week off as it’s dead week in Norman.
