After being snubbed by the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee, the Oklahoma Sooners entered the the NIT with something to prove. Porter Moser’s team did just that, defeating Missouri State, 89-72, behind offensive effort that would seem to indicate that things are much easier outside of Big 12 play.
The Sooners will take on St. Bonaventure this weekend. While the top-seeded team is usually guaranteed home games for the first three rounds, scheduling conflicts with the women’s team’s NCAA run could mean that the Sooners will have to hit the road (although that is yet to be determined).
