Norman, OK (SportsNetwork.com) - The 18th-ranked Oklahoma Sooners will close out their non-conference schedule on Wednesday evening, as they play host to the George Mason Patriots at the Lloyd Noble Center. Lon Krugers Sooners come into this contest with wins in four of the last five games, with the lone loss coming against nationally-ranked Washington (69-67) on Dec. 20. OU was able to get some distance from the setback with an 85-51 rout of Weber State just two days later. A poor start to the season had George Mason buried at 2-6, but the Patriots have fought their way back to almost .500 with their current three-game win streak. The Patriots were last in action on Dec. 23, earning a 68-60 win at Wright State. Oklahoma won the only previous matchup with George Mason, an 81-66 decision in Washington, D.C. last season as part of the BB&T Classic. The Raiders came into their matchup with the Patriots red-hot, sporting a flawless home record and a four-game win streak overall. However, George Mason ended both streaks and picked up its first road win of the season in the process. The Patriots were paced by junior center Shevon Thompson and freshman guard Isaiah Jackson. Thompson knocked down 9-of-11 shots from the field and recorded a double-double with 24 points and 14 rebounds. Jackson was 7-of-11 from the floor and 6-of-7 from the free-throw line, finishing with a career- high 22 points. Marko Gujanicic chipped in 11 points off the bench for George Mason, which shot a sterling .520 from the floor in the contest. The Patriots are on a roll right now and are coming off a highly efficient performance last time out. On the season, the numbers have been much more modest, as the team is averaging 68.8 ppg on .434 shooting. Patrick Holloway currently leads the team in scoring at 12.8 ppg. Thompson has been a force in the middle, averaging 12.7 points and 11.3 rebounds per game. Marquise Moore rounds out the top scoring options on the team with 10.9 ppg. Jacksons offensive eruption of late has not been the norm (6.3 ppg) and could really bolster this team over the second half of the season. Oklahoma dominated on both ends of the court in its lopsided victory over Weber State last time out. The Sooners jumped all over the Wildcats, shooting a scorching .688 from the floor in the first half and taking a 51-12 lead into halftime, effectively putting the game out of reach. OU really abused Weber State inside, outscoring its foe 54-8 in the paint. Five Sooners finished with double-digit point totals in the win, led by Ryan Spangler and Jordan Woodard with 15 points apiece. TaShawn Thomas added 13 points, while Buddy Hield and Dinjiyi Walker chipped in with 10 each. Oklahoma is a dangerous team, especially on the offensive end, where the Sooners are averaging 75.2 ppg, on a healthy .452 shooting. Scoring depth comes as four of the teams five starters are sporting double-digit scoring averages. Hield tops the team with his 15.5 ppg. Isaiah Cousins ranks second on the team with 13.2 ppg, followed by Thomas and Spangler, who net 10.9 and 10.5 ppg, respectively. Spangler, a 6-8 forward has been extremely efficient, shooting at a .618 clip, while also leading the team in rebounding (8.8 rpg). Cheap Air Jordan 3 Australia . - For years William Gay kept quiet.

LOUIS -- Adam Wainwright had a nice view from his seat in the dugout. The kids had it under control. Allen Craig and Matt Adams each had two RBIs and the St. Louis Cardinals got effective work from rookie pitchers subbing for their ace in a 6-2 victory over the New York Mets on Monday night. Nick Greenwood won his major league debut, with his fiancee, mother, agent and a close friend watching. "You couldnt ask for a better outing," Greenwood said. "Its awesome. Words cant describe." Carlos Martinez allowed an unearned run in four innings in his second career start and Greenwood (1-0) allowed a run and two hits in 3 1-3 innings for St. Louis, which has won seven of eight. "I dont know that you could ask any more," manager Mike Matheny said. "Today could have been a really tough day on our bullpen." Wainwright is skipping a turn to allow for tendinitis in the back of his elbow to subside. He is expected to return Saturday against the Phillies. Matt Holliday had two hits, including a single for his 1,000th career RBI in a four-run fifth that put the Cardinals up 6-1. He tipped his helmet to the crowd, and then scored standing up on Craigs double. "Hes pretty stoic most of the time," Matheny said. "But I mentioned something to him and he had a big smile." Mets manager Terry Collins batted the pitcher eighth for the first time in franchise history but the novel lineup with rookie Jacob deGrom in the eighth slot ahead of Eric Young Jr. mustered just five hits. New York has lost 10 of 13, scoring two or fewer runs six times. "We scored a run, it was fine, it worked out all right," Collins said. But he wouldnt say whether hed try the ploy again Tuesday, saying "I have no idea." Adams homered in his first three games coming off the 15-day disabled list from a strained left calf. One of his RBIs on Monday came on his third triple, tied for the team lead, and he stung the ball all four at-bats. "He runs well, he runs deceptively well," Matheny said. "Id much rather watch him trot." DeGrom (0-4) gave up six runs and 12 hits in 4 1--3 innings in his seventh career start, all three numbers statistical low points.dddddddddddd. "I just look at how many balls were really hit hard," he said. "Three or four were hit hard, the rest just kind of found holes and went through." The 25-year-old deGrom has allowed 13 runs and 26 hits in 15 innings over his last three starts. He handled the bat fine, with a sacrifice in the third and a broken-bat liner to second with the base loaded in the fourth after Ruben Tejada was intentionally walked. Young, activated from the 15-day disabled list before the game, had an infield hit to help manufacture a run in the third. But Martinez struck him out to end the fourth. "I havent seen one of those sliders like that in a couple weeks," Young said. "Its just a timing thing. But he made his pitch when he needed to and you tip your cap." The 22-year-old Martinez is one of the Cardinals top rotation prospects with a fastball that registered triple digits in the first inning. Hes been a setup man most of the year with a previous long outing of 2 2-3 innings and needed just 14 pitches to retire the Mets in order the first two innings. The Cardinals selected the 26-year-old Greenwoods contract from Triple-A Memphis on Sunday to provide support behind Martinez. Greenwood grew up a Yankees fan and walked the first batter he faced, former Yankee Curtis Granderson. "You cant really prepare yourself for something like that," Greenwood said. "After that the emotions, youve got to put them away and go after them." Seth Maness retired the last four hitters in order for his first save in his first chance of the season.
