Game Thread: It's Bedlam! Oklahoma at Oklahoma State, 11 a.m. CT, FSN

PrintWho: 10-4 Oklahoma visits the (not so) friendly confines of Gallagher-Iba Arena to meet up with 9-3 Oklahoma State
What: It's Bedlam. You don't need to say any more than that.
Where: GIA in Stillwater, OK | 11 a.m. CT | FSN
The Story: (See above.)
No really, this is the biggest game in every sport between these two schools. Ya gotta love Bedlam.
OU is coming off a big-time 71-68 win over #10/14 Texas Tech on Wednesday. The Cowgirls return home after a 71-44 loss in Waco to the top-ranked Baylor Bears. The score isn't indicative of the first half, however, where the Pokes held Baylor to 37.9% shooting in the first half. The Bears had a 26-24 halftime advantage before an explosive 45-point second half.
As everyone and their best friend have pointed out rather eloquently today, this is the first meeting between these two teams since the November tragedy.

Slow OSU start
Has the Sooners scoring the first five points – all from the “Hand” of Whitney. But the Cowgirls have gotten going, gonna be a back and forth affair today I believe…
Yes
I haven’t even had coffee yet. I can barely process it.

She shot that from the locker room.

I just got my tea.
I think we should send some down to the announcers. One of them is mixing up her McFarlands.

Oh my word
I might go insane before this game is completed. I’m next to the guy from the Norman Transcript. Who is calling the game next to me. Like he’s on the radio or something. Only he’s not.
OMG
The guy is calling the game…out loud…to…himself?

Sooners 17, Cowgirls 15 - 10:56, 1st half
Joanna McFarland has six points for OU, Whitney Hand has 5, Aaryn Ellenberg has a steal and missed layup and DeShawn Harden has an airball. :)
How is
McFarland lighting it up from the outside?? She forgot she’s a ‘big’? 3 triples for her 9 points
Joanna is limping
And Liz took advantage of the 5-on-4 to give the Pokes a basket. It’s 22-19 OU advantage
(Liz might be my favorite freshie of the year, fwiw)

I think the mobile app ate one of my comments
About the announcers needing some more coffee because they are mixing up their McFarlands, but maybe I still need more coffee and I hit the wrong button.

Lame. booting up my laptop.
Also OSU just made a superfun zoomy play of zooming. (Yes, that is an appropriate way to describe that play.)

OU 28, OSU 21 - 2:57, 1st half
They’re doing a fist pump cam during the timeout. This is …. weird.
McFarland has 4 threes. Sheesh.
Going to go do other morning stuff.
Will be back on laptop for 2nd half.

Sooners 28, Cowgirls 23 - HALFTIME
Joanna McFarland and the three point shot seem to be OU’s story. She has four in the half.
For OSU, Taylor Schippers has 7 points, Toni Young with 5 boards and the start, Vicky McIntyre with 4 blocks and Tiff with 3 assists.
The Pokes ‘lead’ the turnover category 8-6 … feels like more than that from my courtside seat – perhaps because both teams are shooting poorly (OU’s 33.3%, OSU’s 27.3%)
Similar to the first half
Not a super great start for the Cowgirls to open the second. OSU has fallen behind by 9, but Liz Donohoe is due up to the line after this timeout.
OU 38, OSU 29 – 15:50, 2nd half
OU 42, OSU 35 - 13:15, 2nd half
As the guy next to me keeps saying as he cheers for OU, “They just won’t go away!”

Damn. I am sorry I missed that game.
But you OK/OSU/Tulsa fans are so much fun, especially when on coffee!
Speaking of Tulsa, I haven’t been playing real close attention to what the Riley trade means. Who are they likely to get/take in the draft? Imagine a Prahalis-fueled Shock. Or Lizzie-Nneka Twin Towers…
Well, Tulsa just got Temeka Johnson so...
…there’s your point guard. I’m not sure I like the idea of Prahalis for Tulsa, anyway.
