The Sooners have played seven Saturday games since the calendar changed to the new year, and they’ve lost six of them, but none have been more upsetting (no pun intended) than the 77-66 loss suffered at home to Texas on this Saturday.
We’ve said it before and it bears repeating: If you can’t put the ball in the basket and can’t keep your opponent from doing so, you’re not going to win many basketball games. On Saturday, Oklahoma was the epitome of that maxim.
The Sooners shot a deplorable 30.8 percent for the game, and it was even worse in the opening 20 minutes, when they made just 8 field goals in 31 attempts, a rate of 25.
