On Thanksgiving Friday – November 29, basically two months ago – I settled in for a day of watching football and a night of watching basketball.
That evening, the Thunder beat the New Orleans Pelicans 109-104 for its seventh win of the season. OKC’s record rose to 7-11.
That evening, the Oklahoma State basketball team won the Preseason NIT, routing Ole Miss 78-37 for its seventh win of the season. The Cowboys’ record rose to 7-0.
The Sooners didn’t play that day, but still, OU sported a spiffy 6-1 record.
On neutral courts, the Sooners had defeated Minnesota, Oregon State and Missouri.
