Oklahoma (18-12, 8-9) had their souls crushed by Texas (19-11, 9-8) on a near buzzer-beater to send lone senior, Kristian Doolittle off on a sour note.
NO RHYTHM
For a team that wants to make the Big Dance, the Sooners had no rhythm tonight. Shooting below 30% from the floor for the entire game left Oklahoma looking hard for offense down the final stretch.
FREE THROWS ARE NOT FREE
Live free, die hard.
The two leaders of the Sooners squad failed to knock down gimmies in the final minute to leave the door open for the miracle-laden Longhorns. Oklahoma had 27 more chances at the line than Texas, making just 21 of 29 to the Longhorns’ two attempts and makes.
CRUSHING BLOW
This loss hits different.
Losing on senior night is never fun, but especially losing to a bitter rival on a near buzzer-beater. The Sooners have to quickly forget about the loss and move on to TCU in preparation for Saturday’s regular-season finale.
Oklahoma and TCU are set for a 3p.m. tip in Ft. Worth on Saturday. The game can be found on ESPN2.
