Double T Nation Previews Tonight's OU/Texas Tech Basketball Game
The Season Thus Far: It was just a couple of games ago that the Sooners were visiting Lubbock, without Willie Warren, and leaving with a 10 point loss. But the Sooners have been pretty good at home, beating Texas on Saturday, led by the impressive freshman guard Tommy Mason-Griffin (the guy can play, he's a ton of fun to watch). However, after Saturday's game, two Sooner freshmen, Andrew Fitzgerald and Steven Pledger, attempted to shoplift a couple of items and are in a bit of hot water. Fitzgerald and Pledger did contribute to the Sooners win on Saturday, but I would expect that both of these gentlemen will not be in the arena tonight.

Revenge Factor: Looking At Texas Tech

Tonight's game against the Texas Tech Red Raiders is pivotal for Oklahoma's men's basketball for several reasons. First, it puts OU back within striking distance of a top four finish within the conference. Not saying that they'll eventually get there but they'd certainly be in a better position with a win. Second, it protects the home turf. Saturday's game was evidence that the Sooners are bent on staying perfect at home (We'll see how that pans out when Kansas State comes) but we also know that this team hasn't shown that they can win on the road in this conference. Third, it would put Oklahoma back above .500 in conference play. Finally, it would put the Sooners on a stretch where they've won three of their last four games before a crucial two game road trip.
In Oklahoma's first game against Texas Tech they dominated the first half by allowing the Red Raiders to score only 23 points on 25% shooting but lacked the leadership, drive, discipline, determination or whichever word you want to place there to close it out. Tech scored 52 points and shot 51% in the second half to rally from being down 11 to a 75-65 win.

All I can say is that's it's a good thing that the Jayhawks won and didn't lose by like a point or something.

A perfect depiction of Longhorn basketball
The Texas Longhorns, who were once soaring high, have now lost five of their last seven games. As bad as the Sooners have been this season, should they beat Texas Tech on Tuesday night they'll be tied in the conference standings with the Longhorns and actually own the tiebreaker over them.
Big Monday may have set the Big 12 back a little because there was a lot of ugly involved in that game. There was the 37% shooting performance by Texas, the 22-0 run by the Jayhawks, the 10:55 field goal drought by Texas and the display by Brady Morningstar of how not to shoot a free throw.

How Did You Celebrate OU's Victory Over Texas? I Bet You Didn't Do This

Personally I celebrated the big win on Saturday by going and watching my son's junior high basketball team win a state championship. Many people hung around here at The Machine commenting on the open game thread and yet surely others went off and had a nice dinner or night out with friends. However, Steven Pledger and Andrew Fitzgerald decided to go do something unique and exciting after helping the Sooners put the hurt on the Longhorns. They decided to go thugging at Dillards.
That's right ladies and gentlemen, in true DeMarcus Granger Jacktard fashion these two freshmen thought they'd go celebrate at the Sooner Mall complete with a shoplifting spree and everything. Oh, what fun! There night was even extended with the complements of the Norman police department and their subsequent arrest. As if it wasn't enough for Pledger and Fitzgerald to already have their names in the paper for scoring 9 and 3 points respectfully in the win. Oh no, they weren't good with just the sports section. They wanted the rap sheet section as well.
