OU basketball: Kristian Doolittle, no longer defined by suspension, has emerged as leader

NORMAN — Sitting to the left of coach Lon Kruger in a postgame news conferences, Kristian Doolittle has become Oklahoma’s de facto spokesman during his team’s four-game losing streak.

The junior forward from Edmond Memorial checks the box score in front of him before answering questions. Two weeks ago, Doolittle stared at rows of numbers that added up to a 30-point home loss to Baylor. At 8 p.m. Monday in Waco, Texas, Doolittle and the Sooners will again face the Bears.

“I wasn’t holding myself accountable,” Doolittle said after the Baylor blowout. “It showed tonight.”

Doolittle was back in the same chair Saturday night, this time after a 12-point home loss to Texas Tech.
