Maybe they were easy shots, and we weren't guarding him. I know he had one wide-open shot in front of our bench, so that's not baffling. If it's a H-O-R-S-E shot, he ought to be able to make it. He's a scholarship player.

Being able to get this agreement is another step for OU to be a player in the college basketball landscape.

That kind of set us back too.

This is phenomenal for our program. We get two home games at the Palace and television rights. For the next four years we can tell recruits that they get a chance to play against Michigan State and play them at home. This is the next step for us from making the tournament to becoming more than a 15-minute program.

He's doing very well for us. He's fitting in very well and doing what we want. We feel he's one of our defensive stoppers. We usually have him guard the other team's best wing player.

Wooten does what he wants to do when he wants to do it. He's pretty good.
