Hoops: Texas vs. Oklahoma Game Thread

Arch-rivals take the court tonight at the Moody Center in must-win scenarios. 

While there is some thought that Texas will get in the Field of 68, OTF is of the opinion that the Longhorns are in a must-win situation tonight. A win would improve Texas to 7-11, and likely be in a play-in game scenario. 

A loss, however, would put Texas on the outside looking with the SEC Tournament requiring at least one win. 

The game ...
Texas (17-13, 6-11) vs. Oklahoma (18-12, 5-12)

TV: SEC Network

NCAA NET ...
No. 39

If we can slow down Wayman Tisdale, we have a chance.

Chendall Weaver is finally expected to return tonight. 

 

OU in joe lunardi's most recent bracketology is the last team in while Texas is the 2nd team out. UNC is the first team out and with them playing Duke tn, a win from the Horns could place them inside the last 4 in.

Larry hit an open three off a good pass from Mark who has been the guy so far this game.
