Cade Cunningham is a Bedlam hero.
Oklahoma State beat Oklahoma 94-90 in overtime Saturday in Lloyd Noble Center. In his first Bedlam, Cunningham dropped 40 points to go with 11 rebounds, both career highs. With this being such a good game, let’s do 10 thoughts instead of five.
1. Cade’s First Taste
No matter how Monday goes, Cade Cunningham has found his way into Bedlam history.
Cunningham’s 40-point performance was up there with Trae Young’s 48 in Stillwater or Jawun Evans’ 42 in Stillwater. But unlike with those other two, Cunningham won.
The phrase “hero ball” almost has a negative connotation at this point, describing guys who try to win games all by their selves.
