I’m happy to report that rumors of the impending demise of the 2021-22 men’s Oklahoma basketball team are patently premature. Oklahoma (14-10, 4-7) stunned some folks with a 70-55 upset win over No. 9 Texas Tech (18-6, 7-4) Wednesday night in Norman. The Sooners cracked a three-game skid and, more important, collected their fourth win […]
After losing seven of their last eight games, the Sooners picked up a top-10 win to reinvigorate their postseason hopes.
After losing seven of their last eight games, the Oklahoma Sooners picked up a top-10 win to reinvigorate their postseason hopes, topping No. 9 Texas Tech by a score of 70-55. With the victory, OU improves to 14-10 overall and 4-7 in Big 12 play.
Senior guard Umoja Gibson led OU in a big way, dropping 30 points on 9-14 shooting and 8-11 from three-point range. After scoring 13 and keeping the Sooners afloat during a sloppy first half, the sharpshooter helped OU seize the momentum early in the second half and build itself a cushion down the stretch. Elijah Harkless also provided a nice spark on both ends, adding 13 points of his own while also keeping Tech’s talented guards in check.
Entering the evening, OU sat at No. 48 in the NCAA’s NET Rankings and was slotted in Joe Lunardi’s “Last Four In”. A win over a top-10 team will undoubtedly improve the situation. The Sooners needed to “steal” one or two down the stretch in order to feel good about their NCAA Tournament chances, but OU can now likely punch a ticket by winning the ones it’s expected to win.
Next up is a Saturday trip to Allen Fieldhouse, where OU will face No. 8 Kansas at noon on CBS. The following Tuesday will feature a crucial one, as OU will host Texas at 6 p.m. for an ESPN2 matchup.
The anticipation continues to build around Super Bowl 56 featuring the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, Feb. 13 at 6:30 p.m. EST. To no surprises, the Oklahoma Sooners football team will be well-represented with a quartet of players in the big game, including Joe Mixon. Oklahoma fans can have some fun during […]
Both the Senior Bowl and the Pro Bowl were filled with familiar faces.
Happy Wednesday, Sooners friends and fans!
Oklahoma Men’s Basketball continues to struggle this season, now losing seven of their last eight games after falling in Stillwater to Oklahoma State, 64-55. Outside of Tanner Groves and Elijah Harkless, the team shot just over 21% from the field and contributed a total of 17 points.
The Big 12 grind is like no other and there’s no better opportunity to get back in the win column than knocking off a Top 10 team on your home court. Next up is the No. 9 Texas Tech Red Raiders coming to the Lloyd Noble Center on Wednesday at 8 p.m. You can catch the game on ESPNU.
Some former Oklahoma Sooners Football players are once again turning heads on big stages. First of all, Perrion Winfrey was named the MVP of the Senior Bowl. That’s right. MVP as a Defensive Tackle. Winfrey racked up five tackles, three for loss and two sacks to earn the MVP honor. Winfrey is the first Senior Bowl defensive MVP since 2014.
Then in the Pro Bowl multiple former Sooners made their presence felt. First on Team NFC, Kyler Murray lead the game with 160 passing yards on 18/27 passing, with 3 touchdowns and an interception. CeeDee Lamb hauled in four catches for 41 yards. On the other side of the ball, Mark Andrews had a team high five catches for 82 yards and two touchdowns to power Team AFC to a 41-35 victory.
