More on Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State
The Cowboys entered the night with a three-game losing streak but it’s a team Oklahoma coach Porter Moser did not want to take lightly.
“Man, I think they’ve got older, veteran, really good guards,” Moser said. “Avery Anderson’s an all-league type player. Bryce Thompson is having a great year. They brought in two from the portal, John Michael-Wright and Asberry are two guys that can really stretch the floor.
“They can really, really shoot it. So I think their guard play is as good as it is in the league. And then you’ve got the best, top 3 shot blocking in the country. I think Boone’s having a phenomenal year. I think he’s leading in scoring in Big 12 play. Cisse, whether he plays or not, still is, in my opinion, one of the best shot blockers in the country.
“One of the best rim rollers in the country. And Tyreek. Those guys are, you got two guys that are getting nine blocks, and that’s not even counting Cisse.”
