FORT WORTH, Texas — After Kristian Doolittle sunk the game’s final two free throws, he jogged back down the floor, not at all trying to conceal a smile that was surely formed by relief.
Oklahoma’s five-game losing streak ended Saturday afternoon in Fort Worth. The Sooners, winners for the first time in 21 days, beat TCU 71-62 to earn a season sweep over the Horned Frogs.
Doolittle and teammate Christian James contained their emotions as they answered questions after the game, but as soon as the side door of the interview room shut behind them, James, almost in disbelief, yelled out Doolittle’s stat line: 21 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists.
