basketball five good people ranked start three top
Look at Oklahoma. They start three seniors. They're a good basketball team. If people thought they were just going to go away, they (were wrong). You don't get ranked in the top five in the preseason if you don't have a good basketball team.

Some of our passes were ridiculous. To turn the ball over as many times as we did and win, we were fortunate. They're an older, veteran team in midseason form.
