OU men's basketball: Veterans helping several new Sooners develop

With many new players on its roster, Oklahoma will look like a very different team compared to last year.

The new faces have gotten help from from returners Kristian Doolittle, Jamal Bieniemy and Brady Manek, Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger said during Big 12 media day on Wednesday.

"It's unusual to have that many new guys at one time," Kruger said. "Our vets have done a good job helping the younger players. It's been a fun group to work with every day and watch them get better."

The Sooners will play Southeastern Oklahoma State in an exhibition on Oct.
