Try to figure this Oklahoma team out. Go ahead! And good luck while you try.

     Just ask Jeff Capel.

     “I’ve never been around a team like this. You just don’t know how to figure them out,” he says. “One game you might think they will play well and they don’t. And then in another game you might not think they will play well, and they do.”

     Betting on this team either way would not be a good idea this year. They are absolutely impossible to figure out.

     Who would have thought they could go to Stillwater and topple Oklahoma State? No sane person could have predicted that. The Cowboys were playing with so much confidence and the Sooners were without Blake Griffin. So OU wins by double-digits. Yeah, go figure.

     All that victory did was set up an enormous game tomorrow for the Sooners in Norman against Missouri. You win that one and you get the fourth seed in next week’s Big 12 tournament. That means you get the first day off.

     And maybe more importantly if you win against the Tigers you move up the seeding charts for the NCAA tournament. Right now it appears OU would be either a seventh or eight seed. But if the Sooners win against Mizzou and then capture at least one game in the Big 12 event, they could possibly land a sixth seed.

     Will Griffin play against the Tigers? The Sooners list him as questionable. But I have a feeling that you will see him on the court. He is a warrior.

     Why is this Oklahoma team so inconsistent? Just look at the guard play. When they play well so does the Sooners. When they don’t play well, OU is in for a long game. I’m giving up trying to predict what Capel’s team will do game to game. It’s an impossible task.
