My guess is yes, but you will never get head coach Lon Kruger or anyone on his veteran Oklahoma team to admit as much.
In the Sooners’ past two games, they have experienced late-game meltdowns that cost them a potential victory in one game and came precariously close on Tuesday to happening in a second successive game. It’s difficult to pinpoint a single cause for why this happened, but it would be hard to rule out fatigue as a big contributor.
February was a brutal month for Oklahoma basketball. The Sooners began the month with just two losses and as the top-ranked team in the country.
