Obviously, a heartbreaking evening with the loss of Bob Barry Jr.

Here are statements from HC Bob Stoops and Athletic Director Joe Castiglione.

Bob Stoops

"I am extremely saddened to hear of Bob's passing, and I know everyone connected with our program shares those sentiments. He was a one of the most respected and recognized sportscasters in our state, and a beloved friend to many. Our work will never be the same without him. We send our most heartfelt condolences to his family."

Joe Castiglione

The OU Athletics family is stunned and incredibly saddened by the death of Bob Barry Jr. Bob was an energetic, dedicated and respected sportscaster, but he will probably be remembered by most for his great personality, strong love of people and the fact he was an Oklahoman. The Barrys are one of the all-time great family stories when it comes to sports in our state, and OU has enjoyed a close connection with them for more than half a century. Our thoughts and prayers are with Bob's wife Gina and his entire family.
