Oklahoma Basketball Should Take Big Jump Forward Next Season

In 110 seasons of varsity basketball in five different conferences, Oklahoma has lost more games than it has won just 22 times.

Between 1981-82 and 2008-09, the Sooners put together 28 consecutive winning seasons under the legendary Billy Tubbs and his predecessor, Kelvin Sampson.

The latest sub-.500 season should be just a one-year thing under head coach Lon Kruger, who is a master architect of rebuilding college programs. He’s already done so at Oklahoma, turning around a team he inherited from Jeff Capel that finished one game under .500 in Kruger’s inaugural season in Norman.
