COLUMBIA, S.C. — Kermit Davis and Lon Kruger chatted in the halls of Colonial Life Arena on Thursday, and of all the topics they could discuss on the eve of their NCAA Tournament battle, Davis had to mention Kruger’s freshman point guard.
“God, Lon,” said Davis, “I watched him probably 10 games ago and watched him now, and he's gotta be one of the most improved players in the Big 12.”
Oklahoma’s tournament site is stacked with star freshmen. Look no further than Zion Williamson and his friends from Duke.
But the Sooners feel good about a freshman of their own: Jamal Bieniemy.
