Yes, Oklahoma has struggled for much of this basketball season.
Yes, the Sooners suffered a 31-point loss Saturday at Baylor.
But Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford suspects the Sooners will bring their A-game when the Cowboys make a Monday road trip to Norman. Hey, it's Bedlam. What else would you expect?
"They'll be ready to go," Ford said. "Jeff Capel is a great coach, one of the best coaches in America. He's proven that."
Ford explained away OU's lopsided loss at Baylor by saying "this is not an easy league. Plain and simple. It can happen. You can go on the road and things don't go your way, it can happen."
Ford said Baylor is not 31 points better than OU and he said his team, after an 81-52 victory over Texas Tech, is certainly not 29 points better than the Red Raiders.
Then, transitioning back to Bedlam, Ford said, "They (OU coaches) will have that team ready to go. We fully expect to get their best shot. And they'll end up having a good season. They've got a nice team and a great coach."
