The Kansas players said they gave little thought to the streak. And maybe you can believe them. After the OU gymnastics meet the other day, UCLA coach Valorie Kondos Field compared OU coach K.J. Kindler to Bill Belichick.
When told about the comparison, Sooner gymnast Maggie Nichols said, “who?”
So lots of college athletes aren’t as deep into the details of sports as we are. And maybe that includes players about their own situations.
OU routed Kansas 81-68 Tuesday night – the Sooner lead was in the 20s most of the second half – to mathematically eliminate the Jayhawks from Big 12 title contention, ending KU’s streak of 14 straight conference championships.
