Oklahoma dominated the No. 2 team in the country to give Porter Moser the biggest win of his Sooners tenure. Saturday in Norman, it was all Oklahoma as OU defeated Alabama 93-69.
Sooners hoops fans called Nate Oats’ Crimson Tide team overrated, but that didn’t stop them from storming the court at Lloyd Noble Center to celebrate the lopsided win.
