Hield, an Oklahoma All-American and Wooden and Naismith Award winner who led the Sooners to college basketball’s promised land, the Final Four, a year ago, was in Oklahoma City this weekend for an NBA game between the hometown Thunder and his Sacramento Kings.
Hield and his teammates came up on the short end of a 110-94 score against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but he told 247Sports OU Insider Joey Helmer that Lon Kruger and the Oklahoma basketball won’t come up short like they did much of the current season with the highly talented Young in the fold and on the floor.
