Fans of the Oklahoma Sooners have been sitting on pins and needles over the past 36 hours, and they finally got their answer Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the news they wanted, as OU ended up as one of the “First Four Out” of the NCAA Tournament field.
The Sooners certainly gave the committee plenty of reasons to exclude them, but when looking at the competition for the final spots, OU should have been in over 17-14 Michigan and 18-13 Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights were 77th in NET, suffering losses to Lafayette, UMass DePaul and Penn State.
