This team continues to exceed expectations. It's still early....but looks like this may be Drew's best year yet. Didn't see this type of season coming at all when Clark went down....well really...even before Clark went down

The bigger question is if the Sooners will break 50! If they keep shooting barely 21%, ain't gonna happen. Higgins will have to start calling fouls on our guys for mean mugging.
