Lon Kruger and his team have been in many close games this year and have been able to pull out a victory more often than not, but the Oklahoma Sooners wilted down the stretch when they needed big plays from their most important players. Wichita State consistently took the ball into the paint and out-muscled the Sooners en route to a 80-75 victory. OU fell to 7-2 overall for the 2019-20 season.
It was Austin Reaves’ first return to Wichita State since transferring, and it appeared to have an impact on the redshirt junior as he didn’t get going until it was too late.
