6:00 pm (CT) – ESPN2
While this is a Texas Tech squad seemingly much improved than what you may be accustomed to in recent years, one would still have to believe this is as much a case as No. 1 Oklahoma avoiding any kind of a let down at home as it is anything else.
Following KU’s loss in Ames on Big Monday, the Big 12 is right there for the taking. So long as the Sooners can handle their business.
And that means protecting your home court.
Time to go to work.
BOOMER!

I hope we get out to a big lead so Mayang, James and Buford get some much needed pt. Would love to see Spangler playing hard again and then taking a seat. Cousin come back to continue.

Still have the drive home & wife to dinner – but Mr. DVR is taking care of me.
Gett’em Buddy & company, and guys please beat the H out of Sand-chigger U!
SOONER! (Missed it Jordan, my bad)
Hope we have a good home crowd. Bobby Knight sure took the Red Raiders to the pinnacle of college basketball. All Gillespie and Tubby had to do was walk into a national title contender. ………………………….oh, wait………………………….different universe, sorry.
Woodard has been great all year, his 3 point shooting has been remarkable! i think his shooting has made a huge difference in this team this year, got to give it up to the coaches for seeing this potential in him and moving him to the 2 position!
not rebounding well early
A little sluggish start, but after how well they played at Baylor I guess it’s to be expected.
manyang in early, me likey
Starting to get warmed up now.
Wow!! That was a loooong 3
+1
He should start shooting at half court!
NBA scouts gotta a like that range!
strong move from James, nice
so pure
^^^^^
<—–
James is a strong looking guard!
lol, that’s new
AGAIN!!!
good call on going to a zone, Tech
uh Huh
Good grief! That’s not fair!!
I know that’s righrt
Buddy from downtown!!! Wow!
Bit of a Captain Obvious statement here, but match-ups will be so key for this team in the tournament. Any team with size is going to give them fits.
Woodard says “Watch This!”
Lattin already has four blocks
That kid just keeps getting better
Allowing offensive boards is quickly becoming one of this team’s few glaring weaknesses
Yep.
Overall defense still leaves something to be desired…sometimes shot selection is poor also
Make that five!
Only 1 turnover so far, much cleaner game.
don’t see Buddy miss wide open shots like that very often.
People on the OU hoops board are griping about the crowd,but 6:00 on a Tuesday evening is just a sh#ty time for fans to get there.Go Sooners!!!
fair, but still s/b better for the #1 team in the country
6 blocks for Lattin ties a career high, and we’re still in the 1st half
jeezus, that’s terrible
We have to come out with more purpose on D in the second half. Played well at times, but too many breakdowns.
Jordon do you know how many points and rebounds Lattin has at half?
4 points, 2 boards, 6 blocks
I wounder if any OU player has ever had a triple double with one of the three being blocked shots?
As of 2005, we have never had a player block 10 shots in a game before.
record as far as i can find it is 9
Blocked Shots: 9, Jackie Jones vs. Texas, Jan. 13,
1990
heres the most recent info i can find, from the 13-14 media guide. OU has only had 3 triple doubles ever, and all 3 were with steals, none included rebounds strangely enough.

Need to extend this lead in the 2nd, and give the starters some much needed rest. These are the types of games we need to get our bench some experience with.
Ok he’s nowhere close to that happing tonight.
Ok he’s nowhere close to that happing tonight.
I guess blocking 6 shots makes up for only having 2 rebounds.
Yeah because he’s batting them to somebody else. Mostly the good guys tonight.
EMPHATIC!
MONSTROUS!
Tech just won’t go away
I think Jackie Jones record of 9 blocks is going down tonight!!
Man, I loved Jackie Jones. I couldn’t believe he was ineligible for the 90-91 season.
When was the last time the #1 team played a conference game with a 1/2 full arena.
sad reality of an all too large portion of OU fans, unfortunately
Buddy is legit. That said, this squad has to figure out a way to rebound and play defense. That is a HUGE hole in their game right now. Yikes.
Defense is pretty good overall, even if they lapse like they did in the 1st half. But the rebounding is becoming a potentially serious Achilles heel. Tells me Spangler is still a bit hobbled, and our ability to box out is atrocious. On offense, we just seem to assume everything’s going in. On defense–I have no idea what the problem is. We play solid man-to-man (although we do switch a lot) and so should have a head start on a box. But we just don’t.
If Lattin doesn’t clean up so many dribble drives with blocks, that game is different last night. TTU still wouldn’t win, but they got to the glass a lot. As did OSU and KU. It seems they RELY on those blocks. News flash, if Lattin has an off night or gets in foul trouble, the defense is in serious trouble. OU was out rebounded 21-8 on offensive boards and 44-40 overall. TTU was getting second and third opportunities with regularity. Thankfully they shot in the 30% range.
four of OU’s five starters already in double digits
Loving Cousins at the point

How many offensive rebounds does Tech have? Feels like 30. LOL
28. :[
Serious?? Yikes…I was WAY too close! LMAO
Smith has 11
I heard that…gross.
16, and counting
Got 9
changed it to a steal
up 19 with 8 to go…bench time
Keep Lattin in see if he can get the record
Well looks like Jackie is going to keep it
Hey, is this a remote broadcast??
nope
or at least I don’t believe so
Sounds almost like it on TV. These guys are THE remote broadcast guys for ESPiN
think Buddy just scored that hoop for TTU. HA! Guy scores at both ends!
Let’s see some Odomes. Feel like he’s played better than James when given the chance.
Not tonight. Loads of potential though. He’ll be a good one with more chances.
Somewhat off topic, I’m really excited about the news of the Wichita State/Oklahoma “home and home” coming up in the next two years!
I really don’t like to see Buddy going at the rim up 24 with under 3 to go.
took care of business. got the bench some good minutes. mission accomplished.
have a good night, y’all
You too JE
20+ point win over RPI #35? yes plz.
Great game boys!
Saturday will be a huge game. LSU looks legit but not as complete a team as OU. Lattin and Spangler will need to have strong games. I think we can pull it off.
Didn’t get to watch this evening but glad to see a win and it sounds like it was a good one.
Just finished the DVR version. Lattin some blocking maniac. OU just better than TT. Does OU practice 3s from fifty feet so the “normal” ones seem easy?
A reflection of their coach, this team stays on an even keel regardless of the situation. Never too high, never too low. This will serve them well in March.
First game this year that I was able to see the entire game. Lattin was ON FIRE last night! And Buddy scores 30 while taking only 12 shots. WOW! This team sure is fun to watch.
