Wichita, Kan. • No one had to convince Oklahoma’s players that Saturday’s game at No. 3 Wichita State presented a measuring stick of sorts.
“That’s probably the biggest crowd I’ve ever played in front of,” Manek said. “We just showed that we can play on a big stage against a great team.”
Young, the nation’s leading scorer, led the way. He finished with 29 points and 10 assists, but it was his 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting in the game’s first 9 minutes that set the tone for the Sooners (8-1).
