OU men's basketball: Walk-on Read Streller scores first points as Sooner

NORMAN — Oklahoma was already beating Maryland Eastern Shore by 25 points on Thursday night, but the final two points of the game were special to the Sooners.

Read Streller, a three year walk-on, was fouled with less than a minute left in the game, and went to the line to shoot free throws. As Streller sunk the first one, the Sooners bench erupted in excitement, and freshman Victor Iwuakor ran up behind Streller and gave him a hug.

It was the first point Streller had scored as a Sooner.

He made the second free throw and got the same joyous reaction from his teammates.
