Oklahoma's Overtime Win Over Texas

0:00On March 11th, Oklahoma's men's basketball team grabbed a huge road win over Texas, beating them 88-85 in overtime on Saturday. In Austin, this victory marks their fourth straight to close the regular season and puts the sooner squarely in the conversation for the NCAA tournament. The game was a rollercoaster, with Oklahoma building a 12-point lead, late in regulation only to see Texas rally back and force overtime after some, late fouls on three-point shooters. In the extra period, the sooner sealed it with a strong 7-3 run in the final minute. Coach Porter Moser praised his team's resilience, noting how they've bounced back all season despite tough moments. Back court stars Nigel Pack, with 23 points and Xavier Brown with 21, led the charge, especially in clutch situations like Browns. Drive that setup a game-clinching three-pointer. This win is a quad-1 victory that boosts their resume after a brutal 9-game losing streak in February, left them at 11-12 overall, and struggling in the SEC.

1:03Veteran leadership and coaching kept them fighting. Now as the 12-seed in the SEC tournament, Oklahoma faces 14-seed South Carolina on Wednesday at 8.30pm on the SEC network. A couple of wins there, including a potential matchup with 6-C Texas A&M, could punch their ticket to the big dance as they play their best ball right now.
