Big 12 Tourney Blog #9: The Time Of The Cowboy Has Come

As a Sooners fan, my stomach's dropped out of my torso.

As a journalist, that was one heck of a game, with Oklahoma losing to their in-state rival, Oklahoma State 71-70.

The atmosphere was supercharged on the final play.

Picture it. Two seconds left in the game, OU in possession and down by one, they went for it.

Unfortunately, Blake Griffin's desperation attempt was a failure, but that's not what had coaches and players up in arms near the end. The clock was stuck on 2.3 seconds and then 0.8 seconds after Blake Griffin's miss.

Still, the officials ruled the game won by the Cowboys. They will advance to th semi-finals for a shot at the title game.

Tune into my report for the post-game and the Big 12's official released statement concerning the time issue.

The championship game draws nearer....
