WATCH: Oklahoma’s Jalen Hill throws down huge dunk in game with No. 9 Alabama

Down came the hammer.

Oklahoma and Alabama have been in a tight battle amidst a top-25 matchup with huge NCAA Tournament implications. The Sooners, though, have been the tougher, more physical game through the first 25 minutes.

That has resulted in an offensive rebound margin that has helped Oklahoma tremendously. One of the main culprits to Alabama’s inability to rebound has been sophomore guard Jalen Hill.

And he made the Crimson Tide pay.

After a long rebound by Hill, the lane was wide open. He drove and threw down a ferocious dunk over an Alabama player.

The Sooners currently have a 10-4 offensive rebounding advantage and leads No. 9 Alabama 47-40 with under 12 minutes to go in the second half. A win would give Oklahoma four wins over top-10 opponents in the last three weeks.
