The best thing about college basketball is right when it looks like a team is done for, they can go on a run and make some noise in March. That’s exactly what the Oklahoma Sooners have done. Winners of four straight, including Thursday night’s 72-67 win over No. 3 Baylor, the Sooners have gotten hot at the right time and are making some noise in March.
Though they still have some work to do to fully solidify themselves as a tournament team, beating the No. 3 team in the country provides a fantastic highlight on their NCAA tournament resume.
After an up and down, turnover-filled first half, the Oklahoma Sooners settled in and outscored the Bears by 11 in the second half to pull away at the end. Oklahoma led for the final 11 minutes of the game to advance to the semifinals to take on the winner of Iowa State and Texas Tech.
With another huge game coming on Friday night, let’s enjoy some of the best social media reactions from the Sooners big win over defending national champions.
