NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma star freshman Trae Young said Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson surprised him Wednesday with an unexpected phone call full "of some good advice," a day after the struggling Sooners had lost a fourth straight game.
"That was crazy. A crazy phone call," said Young, who had never spoken to the "Big O" before, on Thursday. "(He told me) just how much he loved my game, how he enjoyed watching me play. He gave me a lot of encouragement, stuff like that."
The struggling Sooners have now lost six out of their last eight games, including an 88-78 defeat at Texas Tech on Tuesday.
