OU was just too much to handle.

“When they play like this, they’re a hard team to play,” Longhorn coach Rick Barnes said.

OU shot 50.9 percent (27-for-53) and didn’t settle for many outside shots. It only took 10 3-pointers, making four. It did it’s damage in the paint. Even with Texas tossing Damion James, Connor Atchley and Dexter Pittman and a bench full of post players around, OU still dominated the paint.

And had its most dominant performance of the season. Capel was ready to celebrate.

“We’re going to enjoy. I’m going to enjoy this one,” Capel said. “We’re 16-1.”
