PITTSBURGH — Trae Young walked to the OU bench and untucked his jersey as the Rhode Island Rams celebrated.
The game, the Sooner season, probably Young's college career. All over. Finished here in the city of three rivers.
Which is fitting. Same as the Allegheny and Monongahela converge to form the mighty Ohio about a mile from PPG Paints Arena, the two channels of this Oklahoma basketball season — a torrid start, a disastrous slump — converged to finally show us the mighty truth about these Sooners.
Lon Kruger's team just didn't have enough talent around Young.
