Once the dust settles a little bit, the part of the story I hope gets told accurately is how damn loyal Bob Stoops is and what an admirable thing he’s doing right now by stepping in to aid in a situation of absolute turmoil. This is legendary stuff.

I’m going to say this, and it might offend some people. I don’t mean it to come across that way. But Oklahoma has absolutely no home court advantage in basketball. A major one, or even any kind of one, would have really helped tonight, and Saturday. Frankly, it’s inexcusable.

Make no mistake about it, Oklahoma had multiple chances to go up two scores. But it’s a crying shame for the players who work their asses off all week to be subjected to a losing decision largely because of two horse sh*t calls/no-calls. To be expected, but disgraceful.
