Oklahoma (13-7, 3-4) simply put together an abysmal performance against Kansas State (9-11, 2-5), losing to the Wildcats 61-53.

Oklahoma (13-7, 3-4) simply put together an abysmal performance against Kansas State (9-11, 2-5), losing to the Wildcats 61-53. Here is what the Sooners can salvage from the game.

LEARNING OPPORTUNITY

This team is young. Really young. Kristian Doolittle and Brady Manek are anomalies on this team. One positive Lon Kruger and his staff can take away from this? They now know what rock bottom is. Shooting 35.3% from the field for a full 40-minutes is arguably harder than shooting 50% as a team. The Sooners can only go up from here.

IS MANHATTAN CURSED?

Oklahoma has now dropped eight straight games in the Little Apple. Add that to the loss the football team suffered to the Wildcats this past season, Sooner fans may think that Manhattan, Kan., is simply cursed for the crimson & cream.

TURNOVERS KILL

Oklahoma had 19 turnovers against the Wildcats. It’s hard to win when you lose possession all the time. One of the worst performances of the season from Kruger’s men,  the Sooners may be dribbling their way to class tomorrow.
