Oklahoma State @ Texas - the rematch baby!!! The first game between these two was absolutely UNBELIEVABLE. The best game of basketball I have seen in a couple years. I'm picking Texas to take this one. Durant had an off game the other day, so he'll want to bounce back, and of course Texas wants revenge. <div align="center"> @ February 12, 2007 - 9:00 pm ET <span style="color:#FF0000">Game on ESPN</span></div> Star Watch <span style="color:#FFA500">Kevin Durant 25.1 ppg, 11.4 rpg, 1.6 apg, 1.6 spg, 1.9 bpg</span> <span style="color:#FFA500">D.J.

Damn u beat me 2 this thead!Hmm yeah this game is going to be mad .. it will also be the first time I watch Durant play (insteed of just seeing highlights from sportscenter) so im very excited about this game, I took a day OFF SkooL!! for it. yeahh go texas.
Im Hoping for Texas as well....Im going to say Durant Scores 25....gets 13 boards and 4 blocks.I think bogan or w/e his name is will win the scoring battle and overall have a better game than durant but will still result in a loss for ok state

Man, you are in for a treat! The kid is as good as he's talked up to be, you won't be dissapointed. He has the total package. Size, athleticism, shooting ability, range, rebounding, unselfish, competitive, runs the floor well, good shot blocker, above average defender, can score in the post, long as hell, solid court vision, good ballhandling skills for a 6'10'' kid, and he's pretty damn consistent. The kid is special.
I was gonna make the thread, but I expected you'd make some fancy game thread so I didn't make it lol. Now I guess I could've just made a regular thread now that I see you didn't do the same type of game thread as usual. Anyways, I can't wait for this game. Texas will definetly be out for revenge and it should be an awesome rematch. I have my money on Texas for this one. Should be a close game again though.

It's Boggan. But I edited the opening post and made the thread a little sexier for you guys. I didn't go all-out, but I posted a couple pics and stats.
HAHA what an awesome three to beat the shot clock by Augustin. This game hasn't been that exciting so far. OKSU has been playing like crap and Texa has just been dominating. I was expecting another close intense game.

It's Boggan.</div>Correct!Wow this game was disappointing, first half we played ok, not our best and then second half was a complete disaster. I stopped watching it. The whole game I thought we would pull out a run to make it close and it never happened. They shut down both Boggan and Curry, the only players playing well were Dove and Eaton. Dove was shutting down Durant in the first and then the second it seemed like he got a few uncoverable shots to go and hit that three which was Monds fault and he was off. Games like these I just can't stand to watch, we are as good as them, no way they are this much better than us.I have to give it to Texas though, they are a team nobody ever wants to play and watch out for them in March. This team has the ability to beat ANY team in the country.
Kevin Durant really had a dynamite second half. That's one of the things about him that is so great, he ALWAYS elevates his game in the second half. This kid is a true winner, what a special talent. I can't wait to see this kid make the jump, he's ready for it right now. Good win for Texas, they need all the wins they can get before the madness begins so they can get some confidence and momentum going for them.
Texas owned this game almost the entire time. Augustine played great, Durant had a really good 2nd half, and Abrams shot the lights out. Im glad to see the Longhorns beat them this time. They deserved a win after their close loss last time they played OK State.
I love how balanced Texas has becomeAugustin and Durant can both really carry the offense and depend on guys like James and Abrahms to his shots
