NORMAN — Sitting at home two Saturdays ago, Brady Manek was a mess.
Manek was in Harrah while his OU teammates were more than 300 miles away in Lawrence, playing Kansas down to the wire. The Sooners had a chance to win in Allen Fieldhouse for the first time since Billy Tubbs was coaching the crimson and cream.
“Those last two minutes, I was up walking around,” Manek said. “It was one of those most stressful moments where I wish I could have been there.”
It was the first game Manek had missed during his Sooners career and the first time OU had played without Manek in the starting lineup since the end of his freshman year.
