Oklahoma, St. Joe's 30 minutes from tip-off
BIRMINGHAM - Game three of first round tournament action in Birmingham is set to tip in 30 minutes.
Six-seed Oklahoma (22-11) will battle 11-seed St. Joseph's (21-12) for the right to play the winner of the Louisville-Boise State game that follows this one.
The Sooners are out stretching now as the fans are starting to trickle into the stands. The Sooners are already the target of some taunting by some St. Joe's fans.
The crowd will likely not be as large or energetic for the second session, because of the school's distance from the Steel City. Louisville is by far the closest team to Birmingham with St. Joe's coming from the Northeast, Oklahoma the Midwest and Boise State clear across the country.
Stay tuned for updates throughout the rest of the night.
