The 76 Classic has already had some interesting results in Anaheim this weekend. If you’re looking to relax after a long Black Friday, join us for some holiday hoops with Oklahoma vs. Santa Clara at Midnight ET. Join us for the conversation, after the jump.
Game #40. Friday night at the 76 Classic sees a couple of underdogs, Santa Clara and Oklahoma, battling it out in the late semifinal for a chance to advance to Sunday’s final against Saint Louis. Santa Clara advanced to this semi by handling New Mexico in overtime last night behind a killer 50-point performance by their talented backcourt of Kevin Foster and Evan Roquemore, while Oklahoma broke Washington State’s will with 40 minutes of defensive pressure that led to 22 WSU turnovers and 22.2% shooting from the field in the second half. We should be in for a good clash of styles tonight as the Sooner backcourt will try to pressure the Bronco backcourt into mistakes, while SCU will again run Foster off multiple screens trying to free the prolific three-point shooter for open looks. It should be a good one, and we hope you’ll join us to wrap-up the night in Anaheim.
