On Saturday the Oklahoma Sooners men’s basketball team is attempting to sweep the season series with the West Virginia Mountaineers. Early in the game against WVU, the Sooners were trailing 10-7 after a Miles McBride bucket with 15:10 to go in the first half. Sooners’ Brady Manek would answer.
With 14:47 left, Manek stepped up to tie the game with a three-point shot. It was the 215th make of his OU career. It tied him with Tim Heskett for 5th in school history. Heskett played from 1996-2001 for Oklahoma. A historic shot for Manek who was in the starting lineup for the second-straight game.
The next name on the list for Manek to chase at No. 4 is Hollis Price, who played from 2000-03. His 241 three-point shots made could be in reach if Manek took more shots. Given how the team is made up with shooters around him, he likely won’t take the necessary number of shots to get there. Still a historic moment for Brady Manek.
Manek is the only Oklahoma Sooner in the top 10 of three-point shots made with less than 120 games played.
