The men’s Oklahoma basketball team has dug itself a deep hole, one that now may be too steep to get out of.
It’s not so much that the Sooners (14-9, 9-8) are playing bad basketball. They just aren’t playing good enough at the end to get the job done.
Just a few weeks ago, this team was flying high with five wins over ranked teams, looking down at the rest of the Big 12 from second place and with a top-10 national standing.
