NORMAN — Not long after Kansas closed out a 10-point home win vs. Oklahoma last Feb. 27, Trae Young took to Twitter.
“Way to fight bros,” Young, then a senior at Norman North, tweeted. “Can't express how fired up I am. Help is coming.”
That help, of course, has been in the form of Young.
But while Young has electrified not only Oklahoma basketball but college basketball as a whole — leading the country in both scoring and assists — entering Tuesday's meeting with No. 5-ranked Kansas at Lloyd Noble Center (6 p.m., ESPN), Young and the Sooners need a bit of a lift.
