It's by Seth Walder of ESPN. He wrote this article just about a month ago.

If OU goes 1-3 their last 4 regular season games, they will have to win at least 2 and possibly 3 games in the tournament to make the NCAAs. This season is a picture perfect example of what happens when a great player chooses a school based on 'locale' and the probability of being completely unlimited in shots, and disregarding coaching and overall team talent. If Young had chosen KU, or even Kentucky, he's be viewed as a top 5 pick in the draft, and he would be looking at a pretty decent chance of winning a national championship. As it is, he's on a crappy team and certainly will not end his college career with much success to look back at when he's retired from the game.

All I know is that despite their record and recent losses, our guys need to be reminded that they beat us last time. Nothing should be taken for granted, and some superstitious types would say that they're due for a win.

Focus, focus, focus. We caught a break tonight with Tech losing.

Very true NotO. Other thing is the fellas spent a lot of energy today and only have one recovery day. And hey its not like Tre played the whole game like DG. He “only” played 39 minutes. Seriously though, DG will be DG no doubt, but the big fella put it all out there today and Lattin will be loaded for bear on Monday. So hopefully they kick back and watch some curling tomorrow and be rested for Monday night.

Always a tough place to play and maybe they "look past" the Cowboys in anticipation of their game with KU.
