Sooners Thumped by UTEP

Willie Warren scored 26 points but it wasn't enough to lift the Sooners as they fell to UTEP 89-74. OU kept the game close until the Miners went on a 14-0 run to take a 47-30 lead at half. The Sooners got within 10 twice, but each time UTEP responded at built their lead.

Tommy Mason-Griffin scored a career high 20 points and Tiny Gallon and Tony Crocker added 13 and 10. All five UTEP starters scored in double figures led by Randy Culpepper's season high 27.

The Sooners were playing for their 7th straight victory. OU falls to 8-4 while UTEP improves to 7-2.

Hopefully, Coach Capel will refocus his young team before their December 31st date with Gonzaga.
