lately?

I seem to remember Sampson giving y'all some games there.

followed by terrible shot by Mason. Poor start.

shot selection has been poor so far. AJ is 0-2. Mason forced one and somehow we are allowing fast break opportunites despite not crashing the offensive glass.

Great.

For those of us still at work.

N E W B S

Nice follow from Gary.

17-11, under 12 tv timeout.
Sooners have already hit three three pointers and have gotten the ball easily to B. Griffin. Texas' offense is very stagnant. Lots of dribbling by DJ and waiting for AJ as he runs the baseline. Need to get some touches on the low blocks for Gary. Attack the rim and force the issue. Don't just resort to perimeter jumpers.

Texas 4/15 26%

OU 7/11 63%.

picks up silly foul as he pushes Griffin on the low blocks. Horrible D from Texas on inbounds play.

Loose ball foul. Bad luck for him, good news for us.

about time. OU starting to get really sloppy with ball. That is about five turnovers already.

but they may be trying to jump the pass way to much

Turnovers by OU helping a lot. 2 fouls on Crocker as AJ knocks down 2 Fts

after not hustling after ball about to go out of bounds. F.

Better. Horns starting to create turnovers and got an easy layup from DJ and two FTs from AJ off them.

OU has missed last couple of threes as well.

Gary Johnson showing good energy on both ends and was a little unlucky with his last jumper.

Excellent so far: 5/5.

Zone working.

for the first time since the elbow.

i'm in a hospital waiting room.

much appreciated.

and getting doubled on every touch. He may be a Sooner but he is really good.

DJ nice job pushing action. OU looks tired to me.

DJ sank last two free throws. Horns still perfect from the line.

Not sure why but Horns are back in man defense. The zone was forcing contested threes. Other than Crocker early, no other Sooners are knocking down perimeter jumpers.

Again, Texas looks to be in much better shape than OU. Lots of grabbing of the shorts by Sooners. They will likely survive this half but stamina could be an issue in the second.

They're not getting back very well at all.

out of bounds. OU very, very cold from three.

Down just four after slow start and forced shots isn't so bad. OU has really helped with terrible 3 pt shooting.

We are still in it. OU went cold after their hot start, and we've been able to keep them within reach despite our terrible shooting that hasn't gotten better yet.

he's a shrub trying to put it up in a forest, another TO before half

Not a good last poss. DJ gets a shot blocked in the lane. No one else touched the ball.

Texas doing a good job in zone defense and by doubling Griffin on the catch. DJ a little frustrated by long OU defenders.

Stay in zone, push the ball, and feed the post. Come on Horns. Longar squared is in street clothes. We have a great shot at stealing this one.

We're perfect from the free throw line, 7-7.  So we got that goin for us, which is nice.

Texas 8/32 25% Horrible but still in it.
OU 10/27 37% Not much better after really hot start.

Texas starts in zone.

3rd foul on Connor. Unnecessary moving screen.

then he buries a hook

we must take advantage of OU's sloppy play

leads to another fould on B. Griffin.

Horns down just 2, 32-30.

Missing, or taking bad shots?

Push it. We can score more in transition Two threes by Sooners in this half.

Barnes saw what I saw. Push it and gets easy looks.

defense forces horrible shot, and transition offense gives Gary an easy layup

now tied at 32, ou calls timeout before first TV timeout in 3nd half

will need quality bench play this half

Offensive foul on James. He finally got open and then got a little out of control.  Texas D looking excellent. If we can only get on track on offense, this one could be ours.

There was not enough contact for a charge to be called on James, but whatever.  Last thing we want is a game controlled by the refs, but there have been a lot of ticky-tack fouls called tonight.

no way abrams' feet were set

Come on Horns. AJ for three.

3 fouls each on Gary, James, Atch, and Mason. 13 mins left, ou up 40-39

tied at 42

shooting well. 42 all.

affairs.

reminds me of 2005-'06 Aggies

and DJ finishes nicely on the baseline.

frees DJ to take the pass for a layup. Tied at 44, 12 left

on that last play before commercial break???

Capel doesn't understand. Good call. Nice job by Wingman.

3 fouls on both griffin's too, now texas up by 2

46-44.

AJ wide open 3, texas up 49-44

Another three. Texas up 5.

Bunch of bitches.

bitches worse than the osu crowd

play by Mason and Wingman. Texas timeout. Horns up 49-44. Things looking up. AJ knocking down jumpers and OU still cold.

They wanted a traveling call on Wangmene when he fell on the ball, not with it.  Under 8 timeout, still 49-44.

Nice job. Three for DJ. Horns up 8 pts. This is freaking awesome.

from three in this half. Love it.

Texas up 8, 7:05 left.  Here's that run we were waiting on.  Noted on tv that DJ is now an uncle; his sister gave birth today.

we're in foul trouble all over the place and it seems to screw up their inside game a bit

with a nice move but that is not a foul. Finally the under 8 tv timeout. Griffin at the line when they get back.

Horns still up 6.

not that the game is over.

that a called team timeout can't be a tv timeout also.  We're at our 3rd commercial break in the last 90 seconds of game time.

Blake Griffin gets layup and foul, FT coming. Currently 52-46 Texas.

Griffin wasnt getting the calls a few minutes ago, but now he is again.

is one nasty lookin hoebag.

Texas back up by 6

he would have had an easy layup off that 3 miss

Turnover and foul on DJ just before the break. Keep doubling Griffin and make someone else beat us.

Free throws are going to be crucial as well.

that guy was raping DJ all the way up the floor and then they call one on DJ?

Even Craig Way called BS on that one

Horns up 55-49.  Foul trouble for Texas big guys, hopefully we can still play good enough D to get it done. I don't want Lexi or Chap in again.

There's been no 3rd scorer for Texas.  It's all DJ and AJ, combining for 39.

a conference road win would be acceptable no matter how

Sooner fans don't know when a call is the right one.

the only thing worse would be a sooner, dukie and yankee

Love it.

got lucky he wasnt called for over the back

texas up 9, with the ball, 1:30 left

Mason going to the line for 1-in-1, texas still up 9, 48 seconds left

Big road win, 64-54.

64-54 Horns.

Man does beating a rival feel good.

Great game by Mason and AJ. Good game by DJ. Solid defense all around. Love it.

5-2 in conference with two road wins already.

YOU LOST!!!

and showed plenty of drive to win this. WTG horns!

in final 11 minutes. Solid effort.

Don't know if we wore them out physically. But we definitely looked like the ones in better shape.

Atchley came up HUGE down the stretch with his defense, rebounding, and the tip-in.
Mason was clutch from 3 all night long, not missing any of his 3 attempts and hitting both free throws.
AJ hit some beautiful 3s, and a few from inside the arc as well. He ended with 22.
I'm going to put this in all caps: TEXAS DID NOT MISS A FREE THROW, going 11-11.  That felt good.

Looking at the box score, only 4 guys scored for OU.
Texas ended the game shooting 38.6%, while OU finished at 34%.  Quite the contrast from the first half.  Credit to Barnes for the defensive effort, as well as to OU for playing sloppy ball.
