the University of Oklahoma
(March 3, 2011) The OU Athletics Department will celebrate "Senior Day" and a "Salute to Bob Barry" on Saturday when Bedlam takes over Lloyd Noble Center for OU's 3 p.m. men's basketball game against Oklahoma State.
It will be the final home game for Elk City, Okla., product Cade Davis, as well as for OU's three men's basketball managers. The Sooners will celebrate Davis' Oklahoma career during both pre- and postgame ceremonies. The pregame ceremony will begin at 2:40 p.m. The first 2,000 fans through the doors will receive a "Thank You Seniors" rally towel. Saturday will also mark the final home radio broadcast for the legendary voice of the Sooners, Bob Barry. Barry will be recognized during a special halftime video tribute that reflects on his 50 years as an Oklahoma sports broadcaster. A special presentation will be made at center court in recognition of his support of Oklahoma Athletics and Sooner Men's Basketball. The celebration will continue postgame for both Davis and Barry. Following the final sign-off from Norman, Barry will be available to meet fans and sign autographs in his new book, "Voice of Beldam: The Life of Bob Barry," for 60 minutes. Read more at
