he wait is over. Today, we can all watch Francis Underwood continue his devious plot to rule Washington D.C. when season three of “House of Cards” arrives to Netflix.

Hopefully, Netflix leaves the episodes on the platform for more than 20 minutes this time around.

Let’s recap what has happened so far in D.C.: In season one, Frank Underwood is introduced as Democratic House Majority Whip who is bloodthirsty to move up in the hierarchy of the government. His plot begins with convincing then-Vice President Jim Matthews to step down from that position and run for his previous office — governor of Pennsylvania.

This shift in leadership leaves the door wide open for Underwood to become the Vice President of the United States under President Garrett Walker.

But Underwood does not stop there; he devises an evil plot to oust the President from his office to take it for himself.

Underwood uses the Chinese to wreak havoc in Washington; he recruits Chinese businessman Xander Feng to purposely create sour relations with the two countries, and as a result, energy prices increased. Missouri billionaire Raymond Tusk, with whom Underwood made a partnership and who has influence over the President, dislikes the way the President tries to fix the crisis with China, so he begins having casino money funneled into Republican political action committees, which finance political campaigns.

Along with this illegal funding, the President was also under scrutiny for keeping his marriage counseling details unrevealed. He used his staff to coach his marriage counselor to keep his personal issues private, which a special prosecutor deemed as witness tampering. The two debacles led the President to resign from office, and season two ends with Frank Underwood being sworn in as the 46th President of the United States. *double taps ring on desk*

SHOOTING FOR A SWEEP MEN’S BASKETBALL LOOKS FOR SEASON SWEEP WHEN THE HORNED FROGS COME TO TOWN

JOHN WALKER | @JTW2213

W

ith a No. 16 ranking, Oklahoma Sooners are looking to make a three-game Texas sweep against the TCU Horned Frogs on Saturday afternoon. Sooner basketball is surging, winning seven of its last eight matchups, including rivals Texas and Oklahoma State. The Horned Frogs have made minimal impact in the Big 12 with a 3-11 conference record that ranks second to last in the league.

BACKCOURT:

TCU senior guard Kyan Anderson is the leader of the Horned Frogs. The sub-six foot guard is the sole double-digits scorer, averaging 13 points per game. He is also the team’s leading distributor with a four assists per game, an average that ranks fourth in the conference. However, Anderson’s efficiency has dropped considerably since conference play, shooting 39 percent from the field in 2015. Oklahoma’s perimeter defense will likely not help matters. The Sooners’ junior guard Buddy Hield is going through a two-game slump, only converting seven shots out of 29, but other guards have upped the scoring load lately. Junior guard Dinjiyl Walker scored in double figures against Texas in just 10 minutes of play while junior guard Isaiah Cousins filed in a season-high 22 points in the Sooners’ overtime win against Texas Tech.

Advantage: Oklahoma

*

FRONTCOURT:

TCU boasts some of the Big 12 size trademarked within the conference with 6-foot-10 center Karviar Shepherd and forwards 6-foot-8 Chris Washburn and 6-foot-7 Kenrich Williams. The Horned Frogs will have to make pure height and size an advantage going into Saturday’s matchup and try to control the interior on both ends of the floor. TCU ranks slightly higher than the Sooners in blocks per game in the Big 12. The Sooners frontcourt did not have its best performance defensively, surrendering 29 points against the starting big men for Texas Tech. Still, Oklahoma’s starting frontcourt displays the power and versatility offensively to create difficult matchups against the opposition and the force defensively to alter shots in the paint.

Advantage: Oklahoma

COACHING:

Third-year TCU coach Trent Johnson is running a defensive-oriented team that has upped its scoring from the previous season. The offense still tends to falter as the Horned Frogs shoot only 32 percent from behind the arc and are dead last in the conference in free throw percentage.

Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger has seen his share of adversity in these last two games, winning in a close, two-point battle against Texas and in an overtime win versus Texas Tech.

Kruger will look to emphasize locking down the opposition after what he called a “disappointing” defensive effort against the Red Raiders.

Advantage: Oklahoma
