GAME NOTES: The Oklahoma Sooners carry a six-game losing streak into tonight's Big 12 Conference clash with the struggling Texas Longhorns.

Oklahoma's most recent victory came back on February 6th over the same Texas team that it will face tonight. The six straight losses since that win have dropped the Sooners to 13-15 overall and 4-10 in conference. They fell to Baylor on Saturday in a 70-63 final in front of a deflated home crowd.

As for Texas, it opened the season with 17 consecutive victories, but the team has gone just 5-7 since. The Longhorns fell to 8-6 in Big 12 action after a 74-58 beating at Texas A&M on Saturday. The hope for Texas tonight is that it can improve its already impressive 14-2 home record.

As mentioned, the Sooners beat the Longhorns in an 80-71 final earlier this season, increasing their series advantage over Texas to 47-28.

Oklahoma is generating 72.8 ppg this season while allowing 73.1 ppg to opponents, but the differential is certainly more lopsided in league games alone. There are four double-digit scorers in the fold for the Sooners, who are led by Willie Warren's 16.3 ppg. Tommy Mason-Griffin checks in with 13.9 ppg and 134 assists, while Tony Crocker provides 11.3 ppg. Rounding out the foursome is Tiny Gallon with 10.4 ppg and 8.3 rpg. Gallon scored 23 points on 11-of-17 shooting from the field for Oklahoma against Baylor, and the forward also ripped down 15 rebounds. Ryan Wright added 14 points off the bench for the Sooners, who connected on only 34.3 percent of their field goal attempts, including 2-of-18 from three-point range. Oklahoma lost despite a 19-4 advantage in second-chance points.

Overall this season, Texas is scoring 81.7 ppg while allowing 68.0 ppg on 39 percent shooting from the field by opponents. As impressive as those numbers are, they were even better when the club was 17-0. Damion James leads the Longhorns with 17.5 ppg, and he is ripping down 10.3 rpg as well. Avery Bradley checks in with 12.3 ppg for Texas, and Dexter Pittman adds 10.4 ppg on 66.3 percent shooting from the floor. James scored 12 points against Texas A&M on Saturday, and Jordan Hamilton added 10 points. The 'Horns shot just 36.8 percent from the field in that tilt, and they had more turnovers than assists. A 40-29 rebounding disadvantage didn't help the cause, and neither did a 21-12 deficit in points from the foul line. J'Covan Brown, one of the team's starters, injured his neck in the contest. It has been reported that x-rays were negative, and it remains to be seen when Brown will return to the lineup.

Texas will avenge the earlier loss to Oklahoma by beating the Sooners tonight in Austin. James will be the best player on the floor for either team.
