OU men vs Tech; OU women vs. Mizzou

[badger]

There are TWO teams in Big 12 basketball that are 0-11 in conference this season.

And OU gets to face both of them on Saturday.

First up is OU women hosting Mizzou:

2 p.m. Saturday @ LNC
TV: Sooner Sports Network
Oklahoma City: KAUT Ch. 43 (COX 16, 714 HD)
All Other Areas: FS Oklahoma Plus

Radio: Oklahoma City: KREF 1400 AM

SS.com preview here.

This is essentially a tune-up game before we host UConn on Monday. Gahhhh.

Next is the OU men traveling to Texas Tech:

7 p.m. Saturday @ Lubbock (has no trees)
TV: Texas Tech Sports Network (whatever the eff that means)

There is no preview yet on SS.com.

So... pray pray pray that OU is not the first Big 12 team to fall to either of these hapless programs. They both put up fights when we met em the first time this season.

Boomer!

Sooners should be able to beat both, but the men will have the tougher job IMO. We played pretty bad in both of the previous meetings and hopefully, we'll step up our game.

I hate to say it, but this has got to be tech's best chance to win a game in conference. Hopefully we'll show up like we did against Mo on Monday and take care of business here.

Sirius 85 is carrying the men's game as well.

yes, these should be wins, but I don't know.

[badger]

No billy tubbs, instead they brought in the wnba san antonio silver stars coach.

Kay kay starting jaw-anna's place, along with stringbean niicole, vegas, whitney and morgan.

We need good shooting, minimal turnovers and rebounds on both sides

[badger]

Nevermind hockey mask mcfarland is starting.

[badger]

Mizzou is foul happy, but we are shooting 1-6

5-4 miz at the first tv timeout

[badger]

Miz desperation timeout. Sherri smiling, because we just had a 7-0 run since the tv timeout.

11-5 sooners with 14ish left in first

[badger]

13-8 at second tv timeout. Mizz is giving up on missing threes but getting easy baskets instead.

We'll see what direction they go from here...

[badger]

23-12 us.

You know how people say the reason why nfl hits are worse now cuz helmets are so good?

Jaw-anna's hockey mask must be like a helmet to her, taking charges, driving to the basket, taking any shot...

Anyways, we are playing well. And i wish billy tubbs was calling the game.

[badger]

Dear lnc crowd,

Do NOT warn the opposing team when their shot clock is expiring. In fact, try to fool them by counting down from a random number. Ive found that taking the one outta the equation has funny results (say "2" instead of "12")

It is still 23-12 with 6ish left

[badger]

Sherri saw enough. Timeout with 3ish left, 25-19 sooners lead.

Miz hit a few shots and we missed several, blahblahblah. We heart turnovers.

On a funny note, jaw wears her mask up like a welder would when she's on the bench. Must be the biochemistry major influence, hehe

[badger]

They are commenting how good sherri is at drawing up scoring plays outta timeouts... i guess i really never noticed before they mentioned it but yeah.

We lead by ten with 2ish left in the first. Im gonna bundle up and walk the dogs at half so i miss our usual post halftime slump (not just a mens team problem!)

[badger]

Morgan hook just took a big hit from a miz big girl. No foul, but seems very shook up. Less than a minute left, us by,5

[badger]

Halftime, we lead by 7 with a whitney two at the buzzer. Booooomerrrrrrrr

[badger]

Second tv timeout of the second half, we lead by 10.

[badger]

You know how our men would likely have a far better record if the big 12 wasnt such a tough conference?

Thats how miz is. They have brought the deficit down to 6. We have brought it out to 12 this half, but they refuse to go away (unless its going away from the big 12... grrr....)

Sherri coale reminds you to get help if you are a compulsive gambler. No idea if that applies to vbookie

[badger]

Not good-stringbean nicole fouls out, up by 6, 5ish left

[badger]

Crappity. Our lead has dwindled to one with four mins left.

So many missed shots... and nicole's out. We need every old lady and retiree in the crowd to yell a lot these final mins
