Norman, OK (SportsNetwork.com) - Seeking to extend their win streak to five straight, the 16th-ranked Oklahoma Sooners shoot for that goal on Saturday as they host the Kansas State Wildcats in Big 12 Conference action at the Lloyd Noble Center. Oklahoma has suffered three defeats in 2014-15, two of which have come against top-20 opponents in Wisconsin and Washington, the latter being a two-point setback last month in the MGM Grand Showcase in Las Vegas. Since that loss to the Huskies, the Sooners have rattled off four straight victories, the latest being a 70-49 thrashing of 10th-ranked Texas earlier this week, on the road no less. A perfect 7-0 at home, every one of Oklahomas victories have come by double digits. Meanwhile, Kansas State is just one game over .500, but managed to snap a three-game slide on Wednesday night with a 58-53 triumph over TCU. The Wildcats are still seeking their first true road win of the season, after coming up empty in three attempts. The Sooners lead the all-time series by a count of 105-94, claiming victory in 60 of the 86 battles played in Norman over the years. The most recent meeting resulted in an 86-73 win for Oklahoma in this facility last season. Oklahoma head coach Lon Kruger, the only Division I head coach ever to take five different teams to the NCAA Tournament, was also the top man at Kansas State between 1986-1990, taking the program to the NCAA Tournament all four seasons. Kruger also played for the Wildcats and was named the Big Eight Player of the Year in 1973 and 1974. Both sides had trouble scoring in the first half in Manhattan earlier this week, but the Wildcats nearly doubled their output in the second half as they secured the five-point home win over TCU. Marcus Foster stole the spotlight for Kansas State, delivering a game-high 23 points in 29 minutes off the bench, thanks to his 10-of-12 shooting at the free-throw line and 3-of-6 behind the 3-point line. For Foster, who was held scoreless by Oklahoma State last weekend and tallied a mere two points in his last start on New Years Eve versus Georgia, he leads the team overall in scoring with 13.7 ppg as he actually shoots better beyond the arc (.446) than he does the field overall (.428). Thomas Gipson chips in with 11.7 ppg and Nino Williams 11.1 ppg, although both Gipson and Williams are listed as questionable this weekend due to injuries. Against a team that was supposed to be one of the best, not only in the Big 12 but the nation as well, the Sooners destroyed the Longhorns last Monday night on the road. Texas was limited to just 30.0 percent shooting from the field, 6-of-21 beyond the arc, and was outscored in the paint by a 34-16 margin. Buddy Hield led the charge for the visitors with 13 points and seven rebounds, followed by Isaiah Cousins and TaShawn Thomas with 12 points apiece, the latter clearing a game-high 11 boards. Jordan Woodard and Dinjiyl Walker checked in with 10 points each, the former also handing out six assists. As the most productive 3-point shooter, converting 39 triples in 14 starts, Hield leads the Sooners in scoring with 15.8 ppg and has also found a way to be an influence in the paint with 5.5 rpg. The same goes for Cousins (13.4 ppg) who not only connects on 45.2 percent of his 3-point tries, but is also second on the unit with 6.4 rpg, trailing only Ryan Spangler (9.4 ppg) with his 8.1 rpg.

Hydro Flask 24 OZ . It was a move of some time in the making. “He hasnt thrown well, clearly some guys are being used more than him right now and the only way to get out of this funk is to pitch,” said general manager Alex Anthopoulos.OAKLAND, Calif. - In a game where offence was an afterthought, the scoreless stalemate ended in fitting fashion: a walk-off error. Melky Cabrera couldnt corral Nick Puntos double with one out in the 12th inning, sending the Oakland Athletics to a 1-0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday in front of an announced crowd of 22,322 at the Coliseum. "Im sure they were ready to go home and get the barbecues started," Punto said. Derek Norris led off the rally with a walk by Chad Jenkins (0-1), who tossed two innings of relief. After Jed Lowrie lined out, Punto poked a slicing double down the line in left. Cabrera moved to his right to cut off the ball, which squirted by his glove for an error. Norris, who runs well for a catcher, hustled from first for an odd ending to a game highlighted by stellar pitching performances by Oaklands Tommy Milone, Torontos Marcus Stroman and both bullpens. "Thats the definition of a pitching duel," Milone said. "Its exciting. Its fun to watch. But it was about that time." Dan Otero (7-1), the fifth Oakland reliever to toss a scoreless inning, earned the win. Cabrera never surfaced in the clubhouse during the time reporters were allowed in after the game. "Thats not the game," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said of Cabreras misplay. "It was great pitching on both sides." Stroman gave up seven hits in seven innings. He struck out seven and walked three. Milone allowed four hits in six innings, striking out six and walking one intentionally. The left-hander is 6-0 in his last 11 starts and hasnt lost since May 3 at Boston. The pitchers quickly erased the few chances both offences had. Jose Reyes singled on the games first pitch, but Milone didnt allow another hit until Steve Tolleson doubled on a pop fly leading off the fifth that landed between three players battling the bright sky, which caused problems all day. Tolleson advanced to third on the second of two groundouts before Milone struck out Reyes. Lowries fiielding error at shortstop extended the sixth for Toronto.dddddddddddd But Milone rebounded the way he had all afternoon, striking out Brad Glenn to strand two. "It the same thing hes been doing all season. He changes speed and locates so well," said Blue Jays centre fielder Darin Mastroianni, who singled with one out in the 12th for his only hit. Stroman kept the As off-balance and out of sync in similar fashion. He got some help from his defence, too, including Cabrera. With two on and two outs in the third, Cabrera made a diving catch on Yoenis Cespedes liner to left. Cabrera grabbed his midsection and jogged gingerly backed to the dugout afterward. Josh Donaldson started a double play by fielding Edwin Encarnacions grounder at third and threw from his backside to Punto, whose relay from second to first ended Torontos eighth. Toronto caught its own defensive break when Brandon Moss sprained his left ankle coming out of the box, and the Blue Jays easily turned a double play to end the bottom of the inning. Moss said the ankle is sore but hopes to play Saturday, though As manager Bob Melvin said Moss will likely get a day off. Oaklands Ryan Cook, Fernando Abad, Sean Doolittle, Eric OFlaherty and Luke Gregerson all pitched a scoreless inning. Jenkins, Brett Cecil, Dustin McGowan and Aaron Loup combined to throw four scoreless innings before the As broke through in the 12th. "The pitching today was fantastic across the board," Melvin said. "They came in, did their job for the inning and passed the baton to the next guy." NOTES: Blue Jays hitting coach Kevin Seitzer was ejected by home plate umpire Vic Carapazza in the sixth inning for apparently arguing balls and strikes from the dugout. ... Melvin said an MRI revealed that 1B Kyle Blanks has a slight tear in his left calf and is not expected back anytime soon. ... Scott Kazmir (9-3, 2.61 ERA) starts for Oakland opposite Torontos Mark Buehrle (10-5, 2.50 ERA) on Saturday. ' ' '
