TULSA, Okla. – Shake Milton has been here before.
Two years and six weeks ago, as an Owasso High School senior, he and his teammates took the floor at Tulsa’s BOK Center for the High School Hoops Showcase. The task: a matchup with fellow top-10 in-state team Broken Arrow High.
Despite Milton’s 24 points, his team lost, 74-62. The reigning state player of the year and then-SMU signee had plenty of media attention at one of the state’s marquee basketball events.
But nothing compared to his return trip to the arena, even before he played a game in it again.
