Lindy Waters was in third grade when he first played basketball with Trae Young.
This weekend, Waters’ former teammate will become his foe when he and the Oklahoma State men’s basketball team face No. 4 Oklahoma at 1 p.m. Saturday in Gallagher-Iba Arena.
Waters, an OSU sophomore guard from Norman, was a member of a youth team called the Oklahoma Runners with Young, the Sooners’ standout freshman guard. In high school, Waters and Young competed together on the Norman North High School basketball team, but they still engaged in some friendly rivalry.
“We’ve always been butting heads,” Waters said.
