Texas vs. Oklahoma State - Big 12 Championship Game (Recap & quotes added)

[Aaron Carrara]

Texas and Oklahoma State are slated to square off at 12:00 noon today but Eastern Oklahoma is under a flash flood watch until Monday morning.

As you've heard it is critical that Texas play this game today to have the opportunity to make a Regional.  A rain-out today would most likely keep the Horns out of post-season play.  

The NCAA selection committee will release regional brackets tomorrow at noon.

Parker French is slated to take the mound today for the Longhorns in front of an Oklahoma State crowd in Tulsa.

Some forecasts say only 30% chance of rain at 8pm tonight. Couldn't they wait until then to play if the sky does open up ? Would they ?

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Tulsa got 4+" of rain last night. The radar looks clear for 1.5-2 hours - the forecast is for 100% chance of rain around 2pm.

Tricky spot for the Horns:

• The game will be considered complete after 5 innings.
• No inning can be started after 11pm Central.
• If the game is unable to be completed, the higher seeded team will be declared the winner.

When did it start clearing in Tulsa, and please remind me why we are playing in Tulsa of all places?  OKC, I understand.  Tulsa, no way.

OSU's starter, Tyler Buffett, appeared in the Friday & Saturday games. After a very short (matchup) appearance on Friday night, Buffett dominated on Saturday, throwing 3.2 scoreless innings & striking out 5.
