Wrestling: Notes on Bedlam
Here are some notes on the Bedlam wrestling match, courtesy of OSU.
The Basics
The No. 3 Oklahoma State wrestling team (16-2-1 overall) puts a cap on the 2008 regular season when it travels to Norman to face No. 17 Oklahoma at 7 p.m. Thursday in McCasland Fieldhouse.
Wrestling: Bedlam on TV
Thursday’s Bedlam wrestling dual in Norman will be televised by Cox Channel 7 in Oklahoma City, it was announced today. Toby Rowland and Ryan Schafer will call the action, which is set to begin at 7 p.m. in McCasland Fieldhouse.
A limited number of tickets remain for Thursday’s dual at a cost of $10 for general admission. Contact the Oklahoma ticket office at (405) 325-2424 or toll-free (800) 456-GoOU.
Oklahoma State has won each of its last 19 duals against Oklahoma and hasn’t lost to the Sooners since 1995. Should the Cowboys extend their winning streak over OU to 20, it would match the longest winning streak in the history of the Bedlam Series. OSU won 20 consecutive over Oklahoma from 1969 through 1979.
Men’s hoops: What a Crock(er)
By Scott Wright
I asked Jeff Capel after Tuesday night’s win if he had ever seen someone make a four-point play to win a game. He said he had never seen it.
That’s funny. I saw it happen several times.

Men’s hoops: A little more from Glockner
By Scott Wright
My interview with ESPN.com’s Andy Glockner for today’s story was fairly interesting, so I figured I should share some more of it with you. Here’s what else the “Bubble Watch” master had to say:
“Given their injury troubles, especially with Longar Longar and losing three straight, I thought that might be the breaking point for Oklahoma. But they’re a team that’s better than a lot of people realize. The fact that Longar came back will help them with the committee. The question is, can you validate your profile with everyone you have available for the NCAA Tournament? So Oklahoma will get some credit for those losses when Longar was out.”
