What's on the line

For Oklahoma, the legacy of this senior class is potentially at stake. The Sooners haven’t won an NCAA tournament game since Buddy Hield was still lighting things up in Norman. That means Christian James, Rashard Odomes and Jamuni McNeace haven’t won a March Madness game as key contributors -- something that could change on Friday against the Rebels. For grad transfer seniors Aaron Calixte and Miles Reynolds, this is their first and only chance to taste victory in March.
