NORMAN — Oklahoma basketball hasn't played in the Chicago area since 1947.
“I find it kind of ironic,” Sooner guard Miles Reynolds said.
The irony is that Reynolds will start for the away team Friday night in a place he couldn't feel more at home. He expects 50-60 family members and friends to be at Welsh-Ryan Arena when Northwestern hosts Oklahoma at 8 p.m.
His dad, Jim Reynolds, said there's “another couple hundred” still trying to get tickets. By Thursday night, Northwestern announced there were fewer than 100 tickets left at the 7,000-seat arena.
“And they don't normally sell out,” Jim Reynolds said.
