Key game. Doolittle is questionable to go tonight.

If Im Kruger I put Manek on the baseline to stretch the D and attack what we know is typically a vulnerable spot.

OU is one of the leaders in 3 pointers taken and we are allowing the least 3Ps taken.

Hand up on a shot, clean the glass, and we will be in a good position to win.

Let's goooooooo!

If only we could add some of the extra points the Lady Bears earned against Oklahoma and add to to the boys' game tonight.

Did the band think they were playing the Longhorns tonight or do they give the "horns down" sign for every opponent? Idiot!

Butler takes a seat because his mouth is bleeding, but it wasn't a foul, right Higgins?

Bears are doing a good job of taking care of the ball. During this win streak, they have minimised turnovers. Besides the end of the West Virginia game.
