Looks like we finally have a team with a killer instinct.  There was a small run by WSU in the middle of the 2nd half, but we stepped back on their throats to extend the win back to 28

God, it was awful.  Makes me even more thankful of the announcers we have.  Even our backup team is ten times better than these guys.

Same here--only watched 1st half until football watching took full control.  I also noticed that our defense looked great tonight.  They got few, if any, easy looks the entire 1st half. 

Overall crowd tonight at the nutt house very small....bobcat fans at least 25%.....not a lively game at all.. I have been to family reunions more animated than this game...

Then again..most people were in the Frickers "above the rim" bar watching the bowl game and cheering louder up there than in the seats.

Walter Offut on Twitter: "It's amazing what can be accomplish(ed) when no one cares who gets the credit"

What an addition to the program.

Well...as a WSU student who will be receiving my 3rd (and final) degree from there this year....I only had to wait 12 years to finally get to see OU play a game in my back yard. This really needs to be a yearly contest.

I showed up in my OU gear with my dad (an OU alum '70) in his OU gear as well.  It's always fun walking up to a WSU game wearing my OU t-shirt and then handing them my WSU student ID. I get a lot of "what the heck?".

I told my dad going in that OU SHOULD win this game by 20 but WSU plays good defense and is usually tough at home, not to mention the Nutter Center is notoriously a bad shooting place for visiting teams (plus all the dead spots on the removable court....my ex g/f played for the WSU women's team and I'd go out and practice with her on the court often...man what a crappy court lol but anyway). I told him if we shot bad it could be close but if we shot well WSU wouldn't have a chance.

We shot 61% from the field. Not to mention, WSU (an already VERY young team) was without their leading scorer tonight. Billy Donlon in his weekly radio show mentioned how they were going to struggle against UC and OU this week but it would be a good test to prepare his young team. That was pretty much the ballgame right there. WSU is in good hands with Coach Donlon but it's gonna be a long year for them this year.

It was REALLY obvious that we were the bigger/stronger/more athletic/better team out there tonight. Once we got out and ran a bit and the shots started falling, it wasn't much of a contest from there. I was more impressed with our defense than anything. It was my first game I've gotten to see in person this year.  We looked as good as our record IMO.

I might argue that it was more than 25% OU fans. Maybe more like 1/3. Definitely more visiting fans than usual save for Cincinnati or Butler.  The atmosphere was d-e-a-d but that's what you get when a) you're in an arena that holds 11k with only 4k in the house b) the students are all out on winter break c) the home team isn't all that good this year.

I think the biggest cheers of the night were when OU scored the game winning TD at the Bowl Game and the frisbee dogs at half-time (those dogs were awesome). It was neat that WSU put the football game on the tv's around the arena for us to follow. I think more OU fans were watching the football game than the basketball game once it got out of hand for most of the 2nd half.

It was a really fun night. Can't wait to get down to Athens for the Miami game.

FYI - Game is Tuesday night.

numerical oddity that may only interest me: the losing team has scored 54 points in 6/10 games so far this season*


* one was 53 but i rounded up.

Here's one for y'all: Cooper scored 20 points on 9 shots! And, he led the team in rebounds while he was at it.

Yes he did.

Looked  like that consummate point guard any NBA scout would take note of, kept tyhe ball on a string, absorbed the doubles out top, threaded the needle and took very good shots off great ball rotations. Made his team look very very good.
