Wow, that was stressful fun. A lot of emotional buildup preceded the game as we Remembered the 10 and Eddie Sutton was honored as a legendary coach for both programs. These on top of the Big 12/SEC Challenge event and the much anticipated return of Cade Cunningham to the lineup.
The Cowboys got off to a hot start, making their first 6 field goals while playing with a ton of fire to the tune of 3 blocks before the first timeout. Unfortunately the fast pace also led to 7 early turnovers as the Pokes only managed a 17-13 edge at the under-12 timeout.
