Porter Moser discusses what Texas Tech upset means for Oklahoma’s resume

Porter Moser knows Oklahoma must beef up its resume if they hope to make it to March. Luckily, the Sooners did just that with a huge victory over No. 9 Texas Tech on Feb. 9. When the Red Raiders traveled to Norman, they didn’t expect to get beat 70-55 by the unranked Sooners.

Still, Moser’s team showed what they could be. Afterward, the Sooners coach discussed what the upset over Texas Tech means for Oklahoma’s resume.

“It’s huge,” Moser said. “And that’s what I kept on saying — we just got to stay positive. You know, it’s literally the most elite schedule — night in and night out — playing in the Big 12. Then, we had Auburn in there. So we’re playing elite teams.

“We just stay with it. Every games an opportunity, every games an opportunity. Put this one in the bank, and we got to go get another one. But we needed that. We needed it. A signature win at this time after losing a handful in a row. I think Texas Tech is one of the best teams in the country, I really do. And it gives our guys confidence that we can play forty minutes, and win. I thought we had our best game of playing forty minutes in a long time.”

The Sooners came up just short against Kansas on Saturday and now turn their attention to No. 20 Texas on Feb. 15. If Oklahoma can shock its Big 12 rival, the Sooners will continue to boost their resume immensely.
