NORMAN — Less than eight minutes into Bedlam, Brady Manek swished a corner 3-pointer, and all over Lloyd Noble Center, eyes did double takes at the scoreboard.
Manek had 17 points already? The Sooners had 24 points? Oklahoma State had 18 points?
What in the name of Loyola Marymount was going on?
OU beat OSU 82-69 Saturday, a Bedlam game void of much drama but void of much stagnation. For a couple of hours on the first February of the decade, we remembered how much fun basketball can be.
Long shots on target. Crisp passes.
