Oklahoma fans storm the court after Sooners take down No. 2 Crimson Tide in blowout

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.

A 17-point game at the half (50-33), Oklahoma’s largest lead came late in the second half at 91-59 before Alabama closed out with a 10-2 run to slightly cut the deficit. There was only 1 tie and 1 lead change, as Oklahoma led for 38 minutes and 40 seconds.

Oklahoma shot 58% from the floor, including 69% from behind the 3-point line (9-of-13). Alabama made 38% of its field-goal attempts and 27% of its 3-pointers (6-of-22). While turnovers and total rebounds were about even, Oklahoma managed 17 assists to Alabama’s 6.

Oklahoma had 2 players score more than 25 points. Grant Sherfield led all scorers with 30 points, while Jalen Hill had 26.

OU is now 12-9 on the year, while UA falls to 18-3.

  • That was easily the worst game we’ve played all year. Made a really average team look like the Warriors today. OU played tougher and made every shot. Bama played with no effort and got pushed around. Really curious to see how this young team responds going forward.

    • Y'all hardly beat us. We shot 0fer the last 10 minutes. We suck and y'all look a lot worse the whole game. Y'all will fall faster than Ole Miss's tumble in the last 4 games in football.

      • Y’all played us tough, no doubt. We played horribly and still came back and won to sweep the series. It’s basketball, Hard to win every game and today showed that. Bama is still a likely 1 or 2 seed.

  • And the boomer sooner fans stormed the field, shouting “We want Georgia, we want Georgia”
    Oh wait, this isn’t a football article? My bad, basketball , never mind...
