There were 5,000 empty seats at OU's Big 12 Conference opener tonight. About 1,000 of the 6,500 in attendance actually cheered during the first 35 minutes of action.
The only time all night the LNC got loud was the final three minutes.
No excuse for the Sooners to get beat. They just didn't shoot well from the perimeter or block out on the defensive boards in the second half.
But I would say OU played about as well as its fans cheered tonight.
It's sad when you can't even say your home court gives you an edge.
