NORMAN, Okla.
Buddy Hield and the Oklahoma Sooners reminded a sellout crowd at Lloyd Noble Center how good they both are during a 86-76 victory against Kansas State on Saturday.
Hield had 31 points one game after putting up 46 against Kansas, requiring a mere 14 shots to lead all scorers and further validate himself as a Player of the Year candidate, and Oklahoma raced to a 21-point lead in a game it controlled from the start.
The No. 2 Sooners (12-1, 2-1 Big 12) may retain their lofty ranking when the new polls are released Monday, despite suffering their first loss earlier in the week.
