Oklahoma enters Big 12 tournament play with a legitimate chance to bring home their first tourney title since 2003. The first step in that process involves beating a Baylor team the Sooners swept during the regular season, but the Bears come in playing arguably their best basketball of the season. Additionally, Baylor does not present a favorable match-up for the undersized Sooners in the front court.
Nevertheless, this is an OU team under the leadership of Lon Kruger that has achieved more than anyone could have imagined thus far and has shown no signs of stopping now.
Though certainly not their primary focus, every win the Sooners can get between now and the NCAA Tournament can only help their potential seeding.
OU vs. Baylor is set to tip shortly after 6:00 p.m. (CST), so consider this your hang out spot for the next couple hours.

BOOMER
SOONER!
Jordan, You looked at making it to any fball games this year
Yes. Haven’t decided which, but I’m definitely making it for at least one. Tennessee being an obvious choice, but haven’t started to narrow them down yet.
Mine will be Tenn, RRS, Bedlam….Might throw one more in there
No wvu? I think I might swing the first 7. Depends on my week in KY
BTW you and I need to make our Derby plans
Yes. However. I don’t know if I can do the derby properly on crutches.
Who are you kidding! you couldn’t do the Sugar without crutches…LOL!
Thanks. Make a girl feel reeeeaaall good!!
Quit saying the things you are saying… You are going even if you are in a coma… WE will make it work
Lol! I don’t disagree. I have just now been putting weight on it for a week. I asked the surgeon, he offered assistance … Lol… I did look at flights this morning
Even John is saying no…
Did anyone else catch the Baylor game last night? They looked pretty bad. They turned the ball over at will to TCU.
I watched it but I don’t want to make my comments yet because I don’t want to jinx anything 🙂
Haha I understand, just commenting on last night’s game. Hope OU takes care of business tonight.
I would like to see WVU blast tx tonight
Same. Feel like that’s a much better match-up for OU. Assuming we can win tonight, of course.
Let’s kick some Baylor ass tonight!
Jordan, do I remember you saying you live in KC? Are you at the game?
Yeah Jordo are you at the game 🙂
I do and I am not. I was telling Heath earlier, I was offered tickets but turned them down b/c I’ve been the last two years and OU has lost in their first game.
I immediately regretted saying no. But if we can win tonight, I’m definitely going tomorrow.
Gotcha, well hope you’re eating some of that delicious KC BBQ while watching the game. Gotta love some Perry Foster BBQ.
The curse is real
See, JJ knows
Even keilani was not immune
Terrible Foul for Cousins to get there
Um, not a great start.
Terrible
bah, gotta keep up with it on gamecast. These 15 hour days suck =/
I’ll bet
Could be worse, I could have a job where i couldnt follow on gamecast =)
This is true
nice Pass by Woodard
That was nice!
Could Jefferson have been more over the back?
Deep 3 Nice…Now play some D
Spangler can’t be afraid to go up w/ it. Make the refs have to decide whether it’s a block or foul, don’t make it easy for them.
How am I gonna run with this thread AND brave the “Hale” storm next door?
Multitasking, my friend
I should have stayed in that typing class!
S’up? Still on road.. Ugh
It’s B-Ball now baby!
🙁 sadly still in truck
Gimme a score every now & then k babe?
11:00 20-14 Baylor
Jeez … Brick layers? Or just combination. Of things
Just haven’t found the groove yet
Gotcha…
Did these guys give us a fight in the regular season? I can’t remember. I know we beat them.
At Waco it was close thru out
Cmon get a rebound
I’m pretty sure I counted at least 15 over-the-backs on that last sequence
Hornbeak can’t make 3’s and turning the ball over, why is he playing?
It’s like we weren’t prepared for Baylor to play zone?!?
Finish that Hornbeak
Jeezus, that was a gimmie And1 dude.
I can make a layup!
I can hip check w/the best of them
fml, they can’t miss
this is pathetic
How is that not a foul?!?
The Kurt Rambis/urckel dude?
Does Baylor have to draw blood to actually get called for a foul?
That’s kinda the way I was taught to play…
They have to pull a weapon!
gotta get some damn stops
Wow they called a foul on a Rebound
It’s a miracle!
about damn time for that call
turrible
Did we butter our fingers pre game?
Spangler has been non-existant so far.
Thanks Leroy, he just scored!
I can’t believe I’m saying this about a Lon Kruger team, but it looks like we aren’t even prepared.
I can believe this crap
This is ridiculous. Early season ole type defense
Did they get caught looking ahead?
This is embarrassing.
Score? Time?
37-27 Baylor, under four to go
Thx
OU just made a quick 4-0 run
We live by the 3, die by the 3. If we hit a couple 3’s in a row, we’re back in business….
But not unless we play with more energy, play better inside, and get penetration.
Accurate
Wow, that was a b.s. call
Damn their 3’s are killing us!
I mean give me a break. Every block is clean? Every reach in is all ball? For f’s sake, the No. 2 seed gets you nothing?!?
Best half Baylor has played in program history?
We got fouled, un f’n believable
Ugh…
You got that right Shelby!
wow come back from moving a workstation and we are down 18..not good
It’s my fault, you guys; whenever I watch, we do bad. I look away for a bit, so don’t worry! ;0
It’s not your fault their three’s are falling faster than my beers!
Lol
I have no words for that half of s#$%
16 points… Jeez telling me that halftime text is wrong !!! Frick!!
They ain’t lyin’
I might need a drink
Way ahead of ya. You’re probably in one of those damn Texas dry counties, hate those things!
South of Austin… Not south enough
You on a Mexican drug run?
Nah… Tagging along sunshine, the ocean & good food & I’ll be there…
Hey, I’m in that area!
We should have been Atleast to corpus. I have a low tolerance for travel
Lol enjoy the drive!
47-31 Baylor at the half
Jordan what’s the biggest deficit we have had to overcome this season?
Not the performance I expected. 🙁
I really thought we’d be up 10 at half and win by 6
Not all is lost we still have some time.
Yeah, K may play around with personnel and hopefully put a fire under them.
Manzer is an idiot. His bold prediction is really not that bold
Wow… I was hoping Baylor would cool off… Guess not
It’s never ending!
We cant get the 3rd foul on Austin if we don’t shoot within 10 feet of him
No one wants to go at him
I’ll do it. Jeezus throw booker or Bennett at him
They don’t allow crutches on the court 🙂
Well there is that
Maybe Cousins will heat up
I am going to have to turn the sound off
Big Slam by Clark
Closed it to 14
If our 3 game doesn’t show up, we’re toast.
Tyler Neal showing Spangler how it is done
I’ve never seen a team so afraid to even attempt a layup
Makes no sense
55-42 13:09
Travel on Baylor that goes uncalled. He rolled all over the court and then goes up to his knees
why not
How do you foul with your chest?
Guess it depends on your cup size ?? :/
Oh we’re goin dirty huh? HAHA
You left the door open…
Just ya know gettin back in game shape
I always want your best!
My best is powered by shiner …
Keep the tank full!
The low fuel light has been flashing
8:10 61-50 Bay
I mean why the f wouldn’t that go in?
Two OU guys there, Jefferson still gets the rebound, and gets a foul call on OU. Unreal.
Sounds passive to me. Get in & bang around
We have 3 free throw attempts. 3.
Gotta take it to the hole to get the foul.
Like that
Buddy is obviously shooting poorly from 3… He needs to drive the ball and make some layups or get to the FT line and that could get him going. Something good has to happen for us coming out of this timeout.
Same thing Woodard has needed to do for the last month plus. Only problem is neither have or will happen.
I can live w/ not being the better team, it’s not like Baylor is lacking for talent. What I can’t stand is a lack of effort and that has been the case for OU all f’ing night.
What he said^^^^^^^
Ok 10 pt game with 5 minutes to play….NEED DEFENSE
10 pts 5 mins.
Thx
That helps
I believe we had an incredible come back against Seton Hall… Lets do it again
There we go Buddy
8 pts down
Time?
4 mins
I don’t have time, I’m watching a ball game.:-)
Time for another?
Always!!!!
See I am getting there 🙂
It’s like riding a bike!
Great rebound, but WTF was that shot from Clark?
He’s aiming for that piece of metal behind the rim
Stupid, stupid foul
Just close enough to give you hope, but can’t ever quite get over that hump. I hate when they give you that false hope.
its not false
I wish you were right, my friend.
One of the most frustrating things about basketball.
BIG 3
let’s go!
HUGE SHOT…. MORE HOPE
We got a call
C’mon!!!!
2:00 70-64
Grr
jeezus, buddy
Then we have 2 bad possessions
story of the night
4 pt game!
Hooollly balls
Of course Dish loses signal with one minute left…
Wow stat – 31 three point attempts for OU tonight, a season high. Direct result of them being terrified to take the ball inside.
Why the hell are we passing around instead of going for it?
No one wants to fire it?
58% free throw shooter, hits em both. why not.
Bu ?
Can we actually take a two point shot in this game?
No, they’d call a foul on us.
Good point
OU – 22 fouls. Baylor – 13?
Based on the way OU played that’s not at all unreasonable, IMO.
All night, guy under the basket w/ ball, throw it out to the point? what?
WELL THAT SUCKS!
I was just about to say that…
Don’t hold back Shelby!
Ha, THIS SUCKS!
Atta girl!
Yes yes it did
Got a refill yet?
On my way
This “trip” is going down as a stupid decision…. Slaps head
Good Lord, don’t hurt yourself again 🙂
No. Believe me that won’t be a problem. I thought it would be nice to get out of tow
For first time in 10 weeks. Wrong. Just should have waited 2 weeks to come home…. Seriously
Son of !#$@
Right with ya Boomer!
Could’ve used that 3 a few minutes ago…
Clark Freaks Out – Christmas Vacation (9/10) Movi…: http://youtu.be/TQXuazYI_YU
That about sums it up, Lol.
Where’s the Tylenol?
Right lol
Welp, that sucked.
Indeed!
Life goes on.
Especially since we’re still likely a 5 or 6 seed in the tourney. Looking forward to us bouncing back and playing with more focus.
