This has the potential to be a national embarrassment, if it’s not already.  If whomever is responsible for this decision thinks differently, they are WRONG.  I have to wonder if TCU or SMU were in this situation would the end result have been the same, I think not.  Unacceptable!

Hopefully they don't mention it was for a luncheon.🤣

Do you know how rowdy this place would be if the game was played here??    Like Mavs-Moody Madness-level crazy.

Speaking of SMU and TCU, why didn't we ask to host the game in one of their gyms?   They're not using them for anything right now.

Think it’s a coincidence that Mou is the Center of this graphic?

Get some Abou!

Considering how incompetent the AD is, yes, I do think it could be a coincidence. 

Regardless, I'm looking forward to Ousmane fouling out in 10 minutes.

I hear they're both hosting luncheons for UNT part-time employees.

Being 21 and storming the court after beating OSU at our house...awesome times

Looks like a good place for a luncheon or a cheerleader's tournament.

SMU, TCU, UTA, TWU... there's an abundance of venues in the area that could have worked and been ready with a few days notice.

Two years ago OSU actually had to play their first round game against Youngstown State on the road because of wrestling championships. But last year Prudential Center was booked but Seton Hall hosted us in their 1,300-seat on-campus gym.

We could have found a way.

Okie Lite favored by 1, huh?  
 

Gee, I wonder what could have factored into believing they will have some kind of advantage?? 🤔

Experts are saying Ousmane is the difference.

Ohhh man, you guys can probably imagine how much I want this team to put Ousmane in his place after deserting the team.

[DeepGreen]

Ousmane.  Boooo!

[golfingomez]

hey, i saw we are the higher seeded team in this game, how come we're playing on the road?

No, I want them to mention it.  I wish the announcers on ESPN would have said it every time they mentioned that we'd be traveling instead of hosting and would have mocked us for it.

Sissoko struggled a bit in his early career but he did enough to get us that 2023 championship. 
He's really improved since then being much more confident inside than he was. And he is such a great guy too.

I would absolutely love it if he ends up being the difference in a win over Okie State.

Exactly my thoughts too! Such a much better person just due to his continued commitment to the school. I really am a big Mou fan. I always thought he had the size to be dominant and so glad he grew over the years.

That would be the cherry on top if he got the winning basket over Abpoo. 

[Shark84]

Vegas line is Oklahoma State minus one, so we would have been 2 point favorites at home. 

[greenjoe]

Originally, I heard we would play Okie State either Tuesday or Wednesday.  Could we have played Wednesday in Denton (or would the luncheon still be going on? ) ?

[greenjoe]

And/or…Why not hold the luncheon at the McNatt-Loveless Indoor Practice Facility ?  I went to a gala there (I wore a tux !) to raise money for the Athletic Department.  It was very nice and I bet a lot of our faculty have never been inside there.

You wear a tux everywhere.
