NORMAN, Okla. (AP) _ Big 12 officials are now reviewing video of an incident during Saturday's Oklahoma-Texas Tech game in which OU's Longar Longar broke the eye socket of Tech's Ismir Rizvic.

The incident came early in the 2nd half when Longar caught a pass and turned while holding the ball under his chin with his elbows out. One elbow hit Rizvic in the right eye.

OU coach Jeff Capel says a review of the tape shows nothing intentional on Longar's part but Tech coach Bob Knight and assistant coach Pat Knight are upset.

Bob Knight said after the game that he's not sure Longar should be allowed to play any more. Pat Knight says lawyers are now involved.

Rizvic is to undergo surgery to repair three broken bones around the eye and it isn't known if he'll play again this season.
