Bounce back time for the Sooners! After losing on the road at USC last week its imperative that OU pick up a win tonight in Fort Worth. The Frogs have a 4-1 record with their loss coming to Texas Tech. They have three players who average double digits in scoring led by guard Brent Hackett who averages 13.6 points a game. Guard Henry Salter is averaging 12.8 points and 5.6 rebounds a game. Forward Kevin Langford averages 11.8 points a game. Forward Alvardo Parker scores 9.2 points a game.
After losses to Memphis and USC the Sooner have proven that they are not yet playing at a top 25 level. But what level are they playing on? Tonight's game will provide us the answer. A win over TCU on the road would show that the Sooners are a fringe/bubble team - not yet good enough to be turning heads but still good enough to keep an eye on. A loss would show that there is still a lot of work to be done.
