OU vaulted into the NIT’s
third round, despite committing
19 turnovers in a 89-91 win over
Cincinnati.
However, Sooner head coach
Billy Tubbs will need his Sooners
to protect the basketball much
better to advance to the NIT Fi-
nal Four in New York, especially
with the NCAA’s leading pick-
pocket looming large.
Providence (19-12), seventh in
the Big East conference during
the regular season, was over-
looked by the NCAA Tourna-
ment committee — who ironically
opted for Big East eighth-place
finisher Villanova instead.
I'he Friars advanced to the
NIT third round with a 85-79 sec-
ond round win over West Virgin-
ia, a game in which Murdock was
held to 12 points on three of 13
shooting from the field.

84.1 points per game, shoots only

The story of the day for the

season, was their inability to fin-

What Would You Most Like To
See In OU’S Future
"I know I’m receiving an outstanding education at
the University of Oklahoma. My experience as a
student has been both challenging and rewarding,
and I would like to see the University of Ok-
lahoma recognized for its academic excellence, and
become one of the top rated institutions in
America. With each and every sntdent at the
University of Oklahoma working together to create
a setting for academic acheivement, we can and
will shoot straight for the top."

Funniest Experience At OU:
"It would have to be when Nia Hill, my fellow PLC
advisor, and 1 decided to dress as our favorite barn-
yard animal for our President’s Leadership Class
meeting. We both arrived at the same time dressed
as the much loved animal, the cow. We also dis-
covered we were wearing the exact same Holstein
cow slippers. We didn’t even plan it."

Tiffany George dropped 3-6, 7-6

The coaching staff also felt that
injuries have hampered OU early
on, saying that every player on the
team has been hit by the injury
bug and that their condition is not
where it could be.
The Sooners next hit the road
