As the Truth sees it…

The University of Oklahoma has never beaten Connecticut. In seven previous meetings, the Sooners have walked away the losers every time.
While everyone will be talking about the 64-game win streak the Huskies brings with them tonight to Lloyd Noble Center, when No. 1 UConn and No. 12 OU face-off, it’s the Sooners inability to beat the top teams that will stand out.
The game, which starts at 8 p.m., will be shown on ESPN2. So the Sooners have a chance to shock the world literally, in front of a national audience. No one is expecting the Oklahoma to take down the Huskies. A win would be the biggest regular season victory in coach Sherri Coale’s 14 seasons.
However, the game is also an opportunity for OU to perform like it did last season when the two team’s squared off and UConn won 106-78 in Storrs, CT. We will see which Sooner squad shows up.
But even more important than the game is “Pack The Place Pink Night.” Oklahoma is celebrating the WBCA’s PinkZone initiative. They will wear pink uniforms and several other items will be auctioned with proceeds going to the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund.
