TULSA — Hollis Price’s eyes light up at the thought.
What would Price’s game look like playing in a system like the one Kelvin Sampson runs now at Houston?
“I probably would be second on the scoring list at Oklahoma,” Price, now Sampson’s director of player development, said Thursday as the Cougars prepared for their NCAA Tournament opener at the BOK Center. “It’s kind of hard to pass up Wayman (Tisdale). But I probably could’ve caught those other guys and held off Buddy (Hield) probably.”
The team Sampson brings into this NCAA Tournament and the ones he took to 11 NCAA Tournaments in his 12 seasons as the Sooners’ coach have a lot of similarities.
