    I remember this game well. OU dribbled past half court before the clock started. OU turned a deaf ear when CRMK asked them to do the right thing. It is humorous seeing them being so pious.

    Knight called for Oklahoma to forfeit its basketball game with Tech on Jan. 20, 2003, when the Sooners won 69-64 in overtime at Norman after two clock controversies in the final seconds of regulation. Video replay later showed the game clock started late after OU in-bounded the ball on the game-tying drive.

    "Maybe now those people at Oklahoma understand what I was talking about," Knight told The Oklahoman.
    "Had Oklahoma forfeited that game against us like I suggested, they would have gotten far more positive publicity out of that than if they had gone to the Final Four that year. Now I guess the 'duck' is swimming in the other pond."

    Agreed, that was a BAD deal for TT.

    But having to commiserate with the odious Mr. Knight is no picnic.

    Somewhat like when Looziana had to vote for Eddie the Crook to beat David the Racist.

    Knight is the consumate jerk. I'm glad that bad call is still stuck in his craw.
