What goes around comes around, especially in a pandemic. So Lon Kruger’s basketball team, which beat short-handed Texas earlier in the week in this crazy COVID season, was the short-handed squad Saturday against ninth-ranked Alabama at Lloyd Noble Center.
No Austin Reaves. No Alondes Williams. Bama with a full team.
Yet the Sooners had a tonic. Brady Manek.
What goes around comes around, and Manek’s game returned at the most opportune of times. Manek had 12 points and six rebounds. In three games since returning from contracting COVID-19, Manek had 12 points and six rebounds total.
