This is the fifth in a series of articles previewing and breaking down the Oklahoma football position groups for the 2022 season. One of the biggest question marks surrounding this Oklahoma offense ahead of the 2022 college football season is the running back situation. After Kennedy Brooks carried the ground load for the offensive unit […]
Oklahoma basketball forward Tanner Groves has been named the Big 12 Co-Newcomer of the Week for the final week of the college basketball regular season. The Sooners’ leading point producer scored 14 points, grabbed four rebounds and delivered three assists in Oklahoma’s 78-71 road win over Kansas State on Saturday. That followed a 17-point, 10-rebound […]
It was a rough weekend for Oklahoma baseball as the Sooner bats were silenced on Saturday and Sunday following a heartbreaking extra-inning loss to LSU on Friday. The Sooners appeared on the way to an opening-game win over No. 7 LSU in the Shriners Childrens College Classic at Minute Maid Park in Houston. OU scored […]
It’s safe to say, Oklahoma defensive lineman Perrion Winfrey moved up the NFL Draft board at the NFL Combine this week. We didn’t grasp all of Winfrey’s skills during the two seasons he spent at Oklahoma, but the fierce interior D-Lineman felt like he was out of position. “I feel like I played out of […]
Kansas State’s Bramlage Coliseum has not been a friendly place for Oklahoma basketball over the years, but Saturday was a different story. The Sooners captured their first win in the “Octagon of Doom” in 10 years and kept their March Madness hopes alive. Oklahoma (17-14, 7-11) beat Kansas State (14-16, 6-12) Saturday afternoon.

Umoja Gibson led the Sooners to a crucial win in Manhattan — OU’s first at Bramlage since 2012.
It’s been a decade, but the Oklahoma Sooners have finally ended the drought at Bramlage Coliseum. For the first time since 20212, OU came out on top on the home court of the Kansas State Wildcats by a score of 78-71, clinching a bye in the Big 12 Tournament and keeping its NCAA Tournament hopes alive.
Senior Umoja Gibson carried the load for OU in the first half, scoring 20 points and hitting five of his six three-point attempts to aid OU to a 38-37 halftime lead. The game remained neck-and-neck until the 15:40 mark, but the Sooners led for the entirety of the proceedings from that point forward. Gibson ended the game with 29 points on 9-14 shooting and 7-12 from deep, with Tanner Groves also adding 14 points, four rebounds and three assists.
Entering the day, the Sooners were 46th in the NCAA’s NET rankings, and a win over the Wildcats certainly will help matters. Additionally, with West Virginia winning today against TCU, there’s a non-zero chance that two more of OU’s past wins will go from being Quad 2 to Quad 1 victories. At any rate, OU will probably need a win over Baylor in the Big 12 Tournament to feel good about their Big Dance chances. The game will tip off at 6 p.m. Thursday evening at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City.
