KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- While attempting to explain yet another Oklahoma loss, Trae Young was interrupted. The echoes of a boisterous chant from Oklahoma State's celebrating locker room cascaded through the halls of the Sprint Center before briefly overtaking Young's news conference.
It was a surreal moment in a surreal season for the Sooners and their star freshman point guard.
A season, and possibly a college career, that could for all intents and purposes effectively be over.
Just two months ago, Young seemed to be a lock for national player of the year award while earning comparisons to Stephen Curry and drawing accolades from LeBron James.
