Oklahoma basketball: Sooner Magic meets Hilton Magic
Oklahoma basketball hasn’t experienced much Sooner Magic at Hilton Coliseum for almost a decade, and that’s where the Sooners will be on Saturday to go up against Iowa State.
In Ames, Iowa, its all about Hilton Magic, at least that’s what Iowa State students and fans attribute to why the Cyclones are so difficult to knock off on their home hardwood.
Over the last seven seasons, Iowa State has won 119 games, a .647 winning percentage, but the Cyclones have been lethal against Oklahoma on their home floor. The Sooners have lost their last seven visits to Hilton Coliseum. They lost by just three points a year ago, but the six times before that OU’s average losing margin was 10 points.
