That might have been a bit closer than most of us expected (wanted), but it shows how tough our team is. At half time we had only scored 19 points, a season low. We shot 36% with only 1 three in six tried. OU however was shooting almost 48% and made 3 of their six attempts beyond the arc. As Acie put it "we had to take back the momentum and get back in the ballgame...". And that we did. In the second half we shot 52% to their 23%. In the end it was a game of foul shots. Acie made it a bit closer than it needed to be by missing the front end of a one-and-one then his next two. In the end we won, 56-49.

Side note, I am very happy that Sirius allows me to listen to games when I am traveling, but they really need to not make me listen to the OU broadcasters. These guys pretty much chalked the win up to poor officiating. The play-by-play guy was fine, but the color guy was so whinny. "That was clearly not a foul", "I am pretty sure someone hit his wrist after he released the ball", "That was a bad no call" He would not shut up when the ref stopped play after Acie hurt himself on the break away dunk, some BS about how all a defender needs to do is act hurt to stop the offense from scoring... SHUT UP.
