The Oklahoma Sooners took advantage of an incredible home atmosphere and a fantastic shooting night to stun the No. 2 team in the nation on Saturday at the Lloyd Noble Center.
It was an incredible scene from start to finish as the Sooners shot just under 70% from three, hitting 9 of 13 attempts to beat the Alabama Crimson Tide 93-69. It was the Sooners’ first win over a No. 1 or 2 team in the AP Poll since beating No. 1 Kansas back in 2002.
For a team that was blown out by TCU and Oklahoma State in the last week and a half, the Sooners needed this win to keep their tournament hopes alive and provide a boost to a program that appeared on the ropes.
Grant Sherfield poured in 30 points, Jalen Hill provided 26 of his own, and Tanner Groves had a double-double in the big win over the Sooners.
It was a fantastic atmosphere in Norman, and the fans made their presence felt from start to finish. Sooner Nation was rewarded with a fantastic effort from the home crowd and rushed the court when the final buzzer went off.
