The Sooners stayed undefeated on Saturday, beating Alcorn State handily. Here are three takeaways from the game.
NORMAN — In an unconventional setting, Oklahoma’s men’s basketball team did what it’s done all year: win.
Alcorn State led for most of the first half before OU went on a 16-6 run to end the half. But the Sooners, in spite of a start where they struggled to grab offensive boards or make inside shots, played sound basketball at the end of the first half to hold an eight-point lead at the break. Against Georgia Tech — a game in the ACC-SEC Challenge held in Norman — the Sooners trailed by double digits. OU played much better in the second half, though, opening the second half on a 15-5 run against the Yellow Jackets and winning 76-61 against a power-conference opponent to keep its undefeated campaign alive.The start wasn’t pretty, but that doesn’t matter a lot. Oklahoma still won and advanced to 9-0.
The Sooners still haven’t begun conference play, as they’ll start their debut conference season of SEC play on Jan. 4 against Alabama.
