Men Take on UTEP

Oklahoma men (8-3) prepare to take on the UTEP Miners on Monday at 5:30 in Oklahoma City. The game will be on ESPN2 and is part of the All-College Classic. OU has won 6 straight including a close 80-79 win over the Northern Colorado Bears at home on Saturday. Cade Davis scored 25 and Tony Crocker had 24 and 10 rebounds.

The Miners are 6-2 and have lost to New Mexico State and Mississippi.

The Sooners lead the Big 12 with a 78% free throw, while UTEP averages 64%. This should be key as the OU has gotten to the line much more than their opponents.

The Sooners will stick to the usual lineup of Tony Crocker, Willie Warren, Tommy Mason-Griffin, Cade Davis, and Tiny Gallon. UTEP will start Arnett Moultrie, Derrick Caracter, Randy Culpepper, Julyan Stone, and Christian Polk. Guard Culpepper should be the biggest scoring threat as he leads the Miners with 17.6 ppg.
