After Washburn coach Bob Chipman took a couple questions following his team's 112-62 loss to No. 8 Oklahoma on Friday night, Chipman, unprompted, started speaking of Sooners star Buddy Hield.
“He's not only one of the great players, he's one of the great people in America,” Chipman said. “It's fun watching him even though I was on the other side. I'm really impressed with Oklahoma, they're character, great people, unbelievable team.
“I hope I see them in the Final Four. I think they're that good.”
Chipman got an up-close view of Hield this summer when Hield returned to Wichita, Kan.
