Following their weekend win over the No. 9-ranked Texas Longhorns, the Sooners look to extend their win streak as they host the Texas Tech Red Raiders.

OU (13-9, 4-4) lost its first matchup against the Red Raiders (15-7, 3-5) in Lubbock, Texas, a contest where the Sooners lost the game in the second half after commanding a first half lead.

The Sooners held the Red Raiders to just 23 points in the first half last game but gave up 52 points in the second. While senior forward Tony Crocker and freshman guard Tommy Mason-Griffin had great days, sophomore guard Willie Warren missed the game with the same ankle injury that bothered him against the Longhorns.

Oklahoma fell to Texas Tech 75-65 after two very different halves of play. However, with the recent play of Mason-Griffin, things may be different this time around.

The talented guard has played 276 out of 285 possible minutes during the last seven games and is averaging 20 points, 3.9 boards and 4 assists. He is shooting 52.1 percent from the three-point arc over the same period of time.

Warren said he will play against the Red Raiders, although he will not be 100 percent.

“Tomorrow will be pushing it,” Warren said. “But we are looking forward to try and be 100 percent on Saturday [against Oklahoma State)]”

The Sooners are 17-5 against the Red Raiders in Norman and 29-17 all-time. The second matchup against Texas Tech is a crucial gain if the Sooners still want to make a tournament run.

Former OU great Blake Griffin will be in attendance as OU will honor him with the first “Blake Griffin Night” at Lloyd Noble Center.

Griffin, the first overall pick to the Los Angeles Clippers in last summer’s NBA draft, is returning to see the Sooners play for the first time since his last game against Oklahoma State at the end of last season.

Texas Tech continues to be led by senior forward Mike Singletary, who averages 15.7 points per game and

Tip-off is at 7 p.m. at Lloyd Noble and will be the last home game before the Sooners travel Saturday to Stillwater to face the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Saturday.
