Toughness. Grit. Effort.

Oklahoma basketball is currently on a streak that has been done once before and then became the first team to win four games over top-10 opponent since at least 1974. The Sooners have now won three-straight games over top-10 teams, which is also the first team to do such a thing in 25 years.

The Sooners were short-handed on Saturday against No. 9 Alabama. They were missing its star in Austin Reaves and starting counterpart Alondes Williams due to COVID-19 protocols.

It didn’t matter, though, as Oklahoma wanted this game more than Alabama from the start. The Sooners had 13 offensive rebounds to the Crimson Tide’s six. Oklahoma had 28 points in the paint to Alabama’s 20 and finished with two more steals.

A late bucket by Elijah Harkless pushed the lead to four points with 19 seconds to go in the same. A free throw after a stop sealed the 66-61 win.

It’s another huge win for the Sooners, whose stock is soaring right now. Oklahoma could possibly be a top-15 team come Monday, maybe higher.

Here is how Twitter reacted to the big win.
