Oklahoma basketball notebook: Weather forces Sooners to drive back to Norman
Game played with just two referees; third official has travel problems due to fog in Lubbock area.
Due to weather conditions, the Oklahoma-Texas Tech game, which the Sooners won 86-71, tipped off with only two referees. The third was en route from an airport in Abilene, Texas, during the game. His plane was rerouted from Lubbock due to the fog surrounding the Lubbock area.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES

Cameron Clark also had a solid outing — going 5-of-6 for 10 points.
SLOPPIER THAN BEDLAM
