We had such a good time in Norman for the football game a couple of years ago, we have decided to return for the Bball game before going to the Cotton bowl. A couple of questions...

1. I'm going with my dad, but our tickets are not together because they only had singles available. I assume the students will not be on campus due to winter break, so would we have a problem moving and sitting higher up in the student section so that we can sit together? Or is the place usually packed?

2. We will be cutting it close on time, what is the parking situation? If its difficult, can you offer any advice?

Thanks in advance. I'm looking forward to visiting your wonderful campus again. Hopefully my team can at least give you guys a competitive game.

RTR!

#1 You may not be able to sit in the student section, but you will be able to sit together. (OU basketball fans only show up for 3-4 games a year)

#2 Not difficult to park. You will be able to find parking in the LNC parking lot.

#3 Have fun. Don't look for the same type of atmosphere. It is like comparing a steak dinner to eating a leftover doughnut out of the trash bin.

#4 See you there.

Thanks for your help. We have the same problem at our Bball games. I'm one of the few who take Bball as seriously as football. I would think you guys would be excited about Bball with your national ranking. West Va. is a very good team, you can't be too down on them after that loss. I guess we will always be "football schools." Thanks again and good luck.

Maybe it will take OU or Bama winning the national title in hoops to change that "football school" perception.

Both teams had better learn how to shoot from the outside. It's like both teams play with a bunch of inside guys with no one who can shoot.

You guys will probably light us up from the perimeter. It seems everyone has a career game shooting 3's against us. We have played no perimeter defense in the first half of any of our big games so far this year.

Overall, I'm pleased with the job Gottfried has done. He's had some bad breaks this year that has left him without a SG.

The offense didn't make all of their shots. But they moved the ball real well and had open shots. And didn't turn it over much. Austin isn't 100% but when he is I think we'll be a really good point guard and make Terrell the player he was last year.

Austin Johnson really is coming into his own. What happened to Taylor Griffin? Why didn't he play?

Tony Sellars at insiders says (quoting Kelvin) that Griffin's lack of minutes was due to matchups given Bama's size--nothing to do with practice or lack of effort and such. just not quick enough to guard 6' 4'' guys on the perimeter and not big enough to play inside with Bama....which was unusually big in the paint. hence, Longar getting some PT.

better get new coaches at each school then OLest we forget OU b-ball has been at its pinnacle for the last 25 plus years under Tubbs and Sampson.Will we ever win a National Title in hoops? Who knows but Sampson is qualified to get us to the Final Four and from there all you need is alittle luck.

I just wanted to stop by and congratulate you guys on the win over my Tide. It was a good game, and we had a great time at the Noble center. We should never be dominated on the glass like that with our size, but our forwards and centers seem to prefer playing out on the perimeter instead of in the low post where they belong.

I was very impressed with Bookout, he's a heck of a ballplayer. To those of you here who answered my questions here, and to anyone I may have ran into at the game...Thank you all for being such gracious hosts again. This was the 3rd time I've been to an Alabama-Oklahoma game and you guys are by far the classiest, nicest, most knowledgable fans I've ever encountered. Great atmosphere too, the place got pretty loud when you guys went on your run. Hopefully both of our teams will remove their heads from their rear ends and we can meet again in the tourney. Best of luck on the rest of the season, my Crimson brothers, I'll be pulling for you.

RTR!
