ARLINGTON, Texas — Isaiah Thomas made his mark this season in knowing when to strike.
He usually has done it on the field, though.
Wednesday, in the press conference following OU’s 55-20 beat down of Florida in the Cotton Bowl, struck verbally as he answered a question on the Sooners’ defensive improvement.
“Florida, they were a good matchup,” Thomas deadpanned. “But they aren’t the Big 12. They are not the Oklahoma Sooners.”
Thomas’ words were a spin on what Gators linebacker James Houston said last week about the Sooners.
“They’re not on our level,” Houston said.
