KSU comes into town today as we look for our first conf win.


SATURDAY'S GAME BASICS
Searching for its first Big 12 win under first-year head coach Lon Kruger, Oklahoma (10-5, 0-3) hosts No. 18/18 Kansas State (12-3, 1-2) Saturday at 12:30 p.m. CT. This will mark the fifth time Kruger has faced his alma mater (he is 2-2 against the Wildcats). OU is coming off a 72-65 loss at Oklahoma State on Monday while Kansas State lost 75-73 at home to No. 4 Baylor on Tuesday. Saturday's contest will air on the Sooner Radio Network (KOKC AM 1520 in Oklahoma City; KTBZ AM 1430 in Tulsa; Sirius 117) with Toby Rowland and Mike Houck announcing. The game will be televised regionally by the Big 12 Network (KOCB Ch. 34 in OKC; KTUL Ch. 8 in Tulsa; ESPN Full Court) with Brad Sham and Stephen Howard calling the action.


I was hoping we'd have a win by now because i don't give us much chance in this one. We need to step up our play.

Love what I'm seeing from Clark so far coming off the bench for the first time in his career.

Way to answer a 10-0 run with a little run of our own

Up 12 with 4:27 to go...

This may not be the best team of all time, but I enjoy watching them play. They really look like they care and are coachable, hard working guys. I like the interaction between coaches and players.

So much better than watching Willie Warren, Tommy Mason-Griffin, and Tiny Gallons.

We got killed on the boards, that's will need to be addressed but KSU shot poorly and our guys shots were falling.

Great win over a ranked team!

Played really consistent from start to finish. Kept a decent lead when KSU tried to make a run late. we had a massive advantage in points off turnovers. Part of the rebounding prob is that KSU shot a lot of hard/flat 3s that made for long rebounds. That's not a big deal if you still get stops or if you give up a 2 instead of a 3 while making them work extra hard.

Congrats mens team. Good win at home in front of holiday weekend-sized crowd. :)

My son and I were at the game -- Christmas present from my son -- the team looked good and never gave K-State a chance to really get back in the game. They played really hard from start to finish. I was impressed with their intensity. Now to keep beating teams at home and steal one or two on the road. Looking forward to Tech coming to town this week.

Now if we can just get the fans to get some life the whole game like they exhibited at key points, it would be great!

Congratulations to the Sooner Men's Basketball team for a hard fought and well deserved victory!

If we were to have a home game against every single top 25 team, I would put good money that we would come out with a winning record.

see what happens when I stop posting! LOL...

actually the guys played hard and like a team...like Fitz getting on groom's ***...D was very good...gave up WAY too many off rebounds...would have been a schlackling if we hadn't done that. Tech on Tues..

Amazing win! The crowd was average but loud. Clark put forth a lot of effort off the bench. Hopefully that will spark his season. Osby was great but foul trouble limited his play in the second half. Pledger had a quiet 16 or 18 but was Huge when we needed it at stopping the KSU runs. We were absolutely horrendous on the boards but still won by 9. Amazing!

Crowd looks small so far. :(

It was pathetic. And I'm betting close to 30-40% of the crowd had purple on...


Sad our fan base won't get behind the hoops team.

Nonetheless, great win for our Sooners! They looked like the better team from the get go. Played hard, played great defense, shot the ball well, overall a great performance.

The crowds will grow as the team gets better, but it would take a lot for us to ever get consistent sellouts. If Blake Griffin and a couple runs through the NCAA tournment can't do it then I don't know what will. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Good news though, we should extend our win streak to two after Tuesday against Tech.

The estimate was 6,500 and I was guessing it was around 7K. This was without the students. I definitely don't think there were 30-40% KState fans, but there were a decent amount.

It's not just that we got out-rebounded by 15, overall, though. It's that we gave up 21 OFFENSIVE boards. They almost had more OFFENSIVE boards than we did boards, period. (21 to 24)

When we're allowing a guard to get 10 boards, and our bigs (Osby and Fitz) COMBINE for nine boards, that's a problem.

But, we got the W, and we did it protecting our house against a ranked, and pretty impressive, team. Just win, baby.
