NORMAN — Standing on the sideline in the aftermath of last year's home finale, it all finally felt real to Maddie Manning.
As the other senior women's basketball players stepped out on the court to be honored for their Oklahoma careers, Manning stayed with the underclassmen.
That's when the reality of her situation sunk in.
While her classmates prepared to move on to the real world, Manning would come back for a sixth season, extending her career to make up for the two seasons cut short by consecutive ACL tears.
The treacherously icy roads kept most fans away from the Lloyd Noble Center for Wednesday night's 80-71 win against Iowa State (12-15, 6-10 Big 12), but it didn't matter: Manning finally got her Senior Night.
