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.
