u For the sixth time in the last seven years, the Sooners are dancing under head coach Lon Kruger. A postseason staple, Oklahoma is making its 32nd NCAA Tournament appearance overall, including its 27th Big Dance in the past 36 years. Kruger has made the NCAA Tournament six times during his eight years in Norman, including a trip to the 2016 Final Four. The Sooners went dancing only four times in the eight years prior to Kruger's arrival.u The Big 12 Conference named junior forward Kristian Doolittle the recipient of the inaugural Big 12 Most Improved Player Award, as voted on by the league's head coaches. Doolittle led the Sooners throughout conference play with team-high Big 12 averages of 13.9 points and 7.8 rebounds to go with 2.1 assists. He was the only Big 12 player to average at least 13.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in league competition.u Doolittle was also named to the All-Big 12 Third Team alongside senior guard Christian James while sophomore forward Brady Manek received All-Big 12 Honorable Mention recognition. Earning his first on-court conference honor, James has led Oklahoma’s scoring efforts this season with averages of 14.4 points. Manek, also earning his first all-conference recognition, is averaging 12.0 points and 6.1 rebounds.

OKLAHOMA'S NCAA TOURNAMENT HISTORY u For the sixth time under head coach Lon Kruger, the Oklahoma men’s basketball team is going dancing. The Sooners enter the 2019 NCAA Tournament as the No. 9 seed in the South Region. The Sooners are 41-31 all-time in the NCAA Tournament (6-5 under Kruger) and have reached the Final Four five times (1939, 1947, 1988, 2002 and 2016). Oklahoma also boasts nine Elite Eight showings and 11 Sweet 16 appearances. u Oklahoma is hoping to win its way to the South Regional’s Sweet 16 in Louisville, Ky., and capture its third Sweet 16 appearance in the last five years. The Sooners have won four of their last five First and Second Round games and are 4-3 during opening weekend games under Kruger.u Although the Sooners have made the tournament in 31 previous seasons, this will be their first appearance as a No. 9 seed and first ever 8-vs.-9 game. Oklahoma is 2-1 all-time against No. 8 seeds, with all three matchups occurring in the second round of tournaments where the Sooners were a top seed.u Oklahoma is playing an NCAA Tournament game in Columbia for the first time. Columbia is the 32nd city the Sooners have ever competed in during the NCAA Tournament.u OU has made the Big Dance six times in the last seven years (since Kruger’s second year). Oklahoma is one of only three Big 12 schools with at least six NCAA Tournament appearances during that span, joined only by Iowa State and Kansas.u OU is one of only 13 major-conference schools (of 75 teams) that have made six of the last seven NCAA Tournaments.u Oklahoma is making its 32nd NCAA Tournament appearance, including its 27th in the past 36 years. The Sooners’ 27 NCAA Tournament appearances since 1984 are the ninth most in the nation during that span, behind only Kansas, Duke, North Carolina, Arizona, Connecticut, Kentucky, Michigan State and Syracuse.u Kruger will be guiding a team to the NCAA Tournament for the 19th time in his career – the 10th most among active head coaches. He was the first Division I coach to take five different schools to the NCAA Tournament and is the only coach to win an NCAA Tournament game with five programs. In 2015, he became the first and only coach since the NCAA Tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985 to take four programs to the Sweet 16 or beyond. He is one of only three head coaches to ever lead four schools to multiple NCAA Tournament wins.u A staple of the NCAA postseason, Kruger has taken five different schools to the Big Dance. His collegiate teams have made postseason appearances in 22 of the last 29 years. He has guided teams to 18 NCAA Tournaments, five Sweet 16s and two Final Fours. u A group of Sooners will be making their third NCAA Tournament appearance. Matt Freeman, Christian James, Jamuni McNeace and Rashard Odomes were all members of Oklahoma's 2016 Final Four squad and also qualified for the NCAA Tournament in 2018.

FIRST ROUND: NO. 8 OLE MISS u Oklahoma opens the 2019 NCAA Tournament by facing Ole Miss for the fourth time in program history. The Sooners are 1-2 all-time against the Rebels as Oklahoma and Ole Miss faced each other for three straight seasons between 1998 and 2000. Like the Sooners, the Rebels earned their way into the NCAA Tournament with an at-large bid. Ole Miss is making its ninth NCAA Tournament appearance. Predicted to finish last in the SEC, the Rebels tied for sixth with a 10-8 mark in conference play.u Friday will be just the third time the Sooners have faced an SEC opponent in the NCAA Tournament. The Sooners defeated Texas A&M in the 2016 Sweet 16 and Auburn in the 1988 Second Round. Oklahoma advanced to the Final Four in both of those tournaments. OU also faced Missouri (who was a Big 12 member at the time) in 2002, defeating the Tigers in the Elite Eight, again advancing to the Final Four.u Oklahoma is 10-9 against current SEC teams during the Lon Kruger era, including 8-5 against schools which were SEC members at the time of competition. The Sooners are 2-0 against SEC schools this season, defeating Florida in the opening round of Battle 4 Atlantis on Nov. 21 and Vanderbilt in Norman on Jan. 26 as part of the SEC/Big 12 Challenge.

SECOND ROUND: NO. 1 VIRGINIA u Boasting the top seed in the South Region, Virginia enters the NCAA Tournament with a 29-3 record. The Cavaliers own a 2-1 advantage in the all-time series with the Sooners, including a Sweet 16 victory over OU in 1989 NCAA Tournament – the only previous postseason meeting between the two programs.u Oklahoma is an even 16-16 all time against current ACC schools, but is 2-5 when facing an ACC team in the Big Dance.u OU is 2-2 when facing a No. 1 seed since the tournament field expanded to at least 64 teams in 1985. The Sooners most recently faced a top seed during March Madness when Oklahoma defeated Oregon in the 2016 Elite Eight.

SECOND ROUND: NO. 16 GARDNER-WEBBu Oklahoma is 3-0 all-time against Gardner-Webb. This season's Big South champion, the Bulldogs are making their first NCAA Tournament appearance at the Division I level.u The Sooners are 5-0 all-time against No. 16 seeds in the NCAA Tournament. All five previous matchups occurred in the opening round when the Sooners held a No. 1 seed.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE SOONERS With 68 teams taking part in the NCAA Tournament, media and fans may be watching the Sooners play for the first time this season. Below is a quick guide on this year’s team and 2018-19 campaign.u Oklahoma received an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament after going 19-13 against one of the toughest schedules in the country. Oklahoma was the only school in the country with a win over a team from every major conference (Power Five + Big East) and the only team that didn't play a "Quadrant 4" game. OU entered Selection Sunday as the No. 37 team in the NCAA's NET Rankings. OU's average opponent NET Ranking of 64 is the second best in the country and the evaluation tool ranks OU's schedule as the 28th toughest in the country.u The Sooners entered the season returning less than 50 percent of its scoring from the previous year, primarily through the loss of national freshman of the year Trae Young (27.4 points per game). It was assumed by many that the leftovers from last year's team would not be dancing in 2019, as most major bracketologists left OU out of their preseason brackets. The Sooners were picked to finish eighth in the Big 12 preseason poll (voted on by league coaches) and most media outlets listed the Sooners as ninth in the 10-team league.u Oklahoma began work on its postseason resume in non-conference play, facing teams from every other major conference and only playing three games in Norman during November and December. The Sooners picked up non-conference victories over teams such as Wofford, Florida, Wisconsin, Dayton, Wichita State, USC, Creighton, Northwestern and Vanderbilt.u The Sooners' dancing chances again looked weak this time last month, when Oklahoma dropped five straight Big 12 contests between Jan. 28 and Feb. 11. OU fought back into the conversation by winning four of its next five games, including victories over then-No. 13 Kansas and bubble teams TCU and Texas.u Oklahoma's offense ran primarily through senior guard Christian James during non-conference play (averaged 17.6 points and 6.9 rebounds in non-league games). During Big 12 play, the Sooners worked through junior forward Kristian Doolittle, who was awarded the league's innagural Most Improved Player award. Doolittle led the Sooners throughout conference play with team-high Big 12 averages of 13.9 points and 7.8 rebounds to go with 2.1 assists. u OU will head to Columbia with one of the most experienced rosters in the country. Oklahoma owned the Big 12's oldest roster (average age on opening night was 21.1) and features a veteran senior core of James, Rashard Odomes and Jamuni McNeace. The Sooner roster also includes a pair of graduate transfers making their first ever NCAA Tournament appearance in Miles Reynolds (from Pacific) and Aaron Calixte (from Maine).

@OU_MBBall4


QUICK HITS u Oklahoma is the only school in the country with a win over a team from every major conference (Power Five + Big East).u Sometimes the key to victory can be as simple as making shots. Oklahoma is 19-1 when it holds a better shooting percentage than its opponents and 0-11 when the Sooners have a worse shooting percentage (0-1 when the percentages are equal). The lone loss when OU held a better shooting percentage was the Sooners' most recent outing, a one-point loss to West Virginia in the opening round of the Big 12 Championship. Oklahoma is shooting .475 (.373 from 3-point range) in its 19 wins and .401 (.307 from deep) in its 13 losses. The Sooners are 13-3 when they shoot above 45 percent. u The Sooners are 12-4 when limiting opponents to under 70 points and 4-1 when opponents score less than 60.u Oklahoma is 18-5 when it scores at least 30 points in the first half.u The Sooners are 13-1 when outrebounding their opponents. In its 19 wins, Oklahoma is winning the rebounding margin by an average of 3.5 boards.u OU opponents are shooting 40.2 percent from the field – the second lowest opponent field goal percentage in the conference and 25th nationally. The Sooners rank 23rd in KenPom.com’s adjusted defensive efficiency.u Oklahoma is 20th in the nation and first in the conference in defensive rebounding with 28.4 defensive boards per game. u OU has three players ranked in the top 11 in rebounding in the Big 12: Kristian Doolittle (sixth, 7.0), Christian James (eighth, 6.3) and Brady Manek (11th, 6.1). TCU is the only other school with multiple players (two) ranked in the top 11.u Of the nine players in the Big 12 averaging at least 11 points and six rebounds, three play for the Sooners. Oklahoma is the only team in the conference with multiple players averaging 11 and six as its roster features Christian James (14.4 points, 6.3 rebounds), Brady Manek (12.0, 6.1) and Kristian Doolittle (11.2, 7.0).

u Oklahoma is the only Big 12 team with multiple players possessing at least five double-doubles. Christian James leads the Sooners with six games of at least 10 points and 10 rebounds while Brady Manek has produced five. Neither Manek or James owned a double-double in their career prior to this season. Additionally, Kristian Doolittle has secured four double-doubles.DOOLITTLE DOOING IT ALL u Junior forward Kristian Doolittle continues to show progress in his game as the season goes along - so much so that the Big 12 coaches voted him the league's Most Improved Player. After averaging 7.2 points and 5.8 boards in the first 12 games of the season, Doolittle led the Sooners throughout conference play with team-high Big 12 averages of 13.9 points and 7.8 rebounds to go with 2.1 assists. During Big 12 play, Doolittle ranked in OU's top three in points, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals, field goal perecentage and free throw percentage.u An All-Big 12 Third Team selection, Doolittle was the only Big 12 player to average at least 13.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in league competition this season.u The forward won the league's inaugural improvement-based honor after averaging only 2.9 points and 4.3 rebounds in 2017-18 and 7.2 points and 5.8 boards during this season's non-conference stretch. u Doolittle enters the Big Dance on a scoring hot streak, producing at least 14 points in the last seven straight games, highlighted by a 24-point, 11-rebound performance against Kansas. The junior is averaging 17.4 points, 8.7 rebounds and shooting 50.6 percent during that seven-game stretch.

BRADY SCORING IN BUNCHES u The Sooners almost always have team success on nights that sophomore forward Brady Manek is rolling. During his career, OU is 26-11 when Manek scores in double figures, 15-4 when he scores at least 15 points and 8-2 when he hit four or more 3-pointers.

u Earning his first all-conference recognition, Manek was named an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention selection. He is averaging 12.0 points and 6.1 rebounds while shooting .464 from the field and .354 from behind the arc. u Manek has scored in double figures in 11 of his last 14 games, including a 21 points in a win against Kansas and a season-high 22 points in his most recent game (vs. West Virginia).

u With 22 points in the opening round of the Big 12 Championship, Manek brought his career scoring total to 710 points. The forward from Harrah, Okla., is just the 10th player in OU history to eclipse 700 career points before the end of their sophomore season. Of those 10 Sooners to reach 700 points as an underclassmen, three have been during the Lon Kruger era. Trae Young scored 876 in just his freshman season alone (2017-18) while eventual 2016 National Player of the Year Buddy Hield totaled 756 in his first two seasons in Norman.

KNOW YOUR BIENIEMY u OU's only scholarship freshman, guard Jamal Bieniemy boasts a season assist/turnover ratio of 2.60, which ranks second in the Big 12 and third among major-conference freshmen. Bieniemy was given the starting point guard role on Jan. 19 and has averaged 6.6 points, 4.3 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.6 steals while shooting 41.5 percent from 3-point range since joining the starting lineup. As a team, the Sooners are averaging 10.7 turnovers per game since Bieniemy joined the starting lineup, compared to 13.5 in their first 17 games.u The lone Sooner rookie is climbing in the OU freshman record book. He ranks fifth in program history in steals by a freshman (45) and ninth in assists by a freshman (112). If Bieniemy can swipe five more steals, he would be just the fourth Sooner to produce 100 assists and 50 steals in a freshman season.

ZERO HAS BEEN THE HERO u Senior guard Christian James has been the Sooners’ leading scorer this season with an average of 14.4 points per game. James entered the season as Oklahoma’s top returning scorer, averaging 11.9 points per game in 2017-18. In 32 games, James has scored at least 10 points in all but six contests – including seven games of 20 points.u James failed to produce a double-double in his first 104 collegiate games but has produced at least 10 points and 10 boards in six games since Dec. 1 - the fourth most in the Big 12 this season.u By scoring 20 points on Jan. 16 against Kansas State, James became the 45th Sooner to eclipse 1,000 points in an Oklahoma uniform (eighth in the Lon Kruger era). James ranks 31st on the all-time OU scoring list with 1,176 career points.u James also boasts 512 career rebounds and is just the seventh guard in OU history to produce 1,000 points and 500 rebounds in a career.u James enters the NCAA Tournament with 169 career 3-pointers - the 10th most in OU history.

IN DEFENSE OF CHANGING STYLES u The Sooners have completely shifted their style of play from 2017-18 to 2018-19. Head coach Lon Kruger has shown the flexibility to adjust his style of play to the personnel on his roster. Last season, the Sooners played a fast-tempo, high-scoring style through national rookie of the year Trae Young. As the first player to lead the country in scoring and assists, Young drove the Sooners offense to score 84.9 points per game – the fifth most of any team last season and the eighth most in program history. The Sooners’ 2017-18 tempo was the second fastest among major-conference teams with an average possession of only 14.0 seconds. Due to the speed of play and emphasis on free-flowing offense, the Sooners gave up an average of 81.7 points per game on the defensive end.u This season, the Sooners are focusing much more on the defensive side – using their athleticism and length to force opponents deep into the shot clock and showing improvement in contesting shots. OU opponents are averaging 68.2 points per game and shooting 40.2 percent from the field (ranks second in the Big 12, 25th in the nation). u Oklahoma’s defense has been especially disruptive late in the game. In OU’s 19 wins, its opponents are shooting a combined 36.5 percent (25.7 percent from 3) in the final 15 minutes of the game.u OU has held its opponent to 60 or fewer points in six games (did so only once last season).u The Sooners have held their opponents to 30 or fewer points in the first half on 12 occasions this season (did so zero times last season).u OU opponents have shot under 32 percent in five games this season.u Oklahoma’s opponents are averaging 32.0 points in the first half. OU opponents scored 32 or fewer first half points on only five occasions last season.

TOUGH SCHEDULING...AGAIN u In each of the past three seasons, ESPN’s College Basketball Power Index has ranked the Sooners’ strength of schedule as one of the top-five toughest in the country, and the Sooners added to that in 2018-19. Oklahoma faced a gruelling double round-robin schedule in the Big 12 along with non-conference matchups against Wofford, Florida, Wisconsin, Dayton, Wichita State, USC, Creighton, Northwestern and Vanderbilt.u Seven of OU’s nine Big 12 opponents (Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, TCU, Texas, Texas Tech) qualified for the 2019 NCAA Tournament or NIT.u Oklahoma is the only team in the country that has not played a "Quadrant 4" game. OU's average opponent NET Ranking of 66 is the second best in the country.

SENIOR-HEAVY SOONERS u Last season’s Sooner squad was one of the youngest teams in both the Big 12 and the country. With nine freshmen and sophomores and only one senior, Oklahoma was the second least-experienced team in the conference, according to KenPom.com. The analytics website’s formula, based on age and collegiate playing experience, ranked the Sooners 304 out of 351 Division I teams in experience. It was a different story for Oklahoma this season, as its roster featured eight seniors or graduate students and only one scholarship freshman. Using the same KenPom experience metric, Oklahoma was 28th in experience and No. 1 among teams from major conferences on opening night this season.u Through the combination of time and targeting experienced transfers in recruiting, the Sooners now boast the most seniors and graduates of any team in the Big 12. With seven more seniors/graduates than 2017-18, Oklahoma owns the largest-known increase of seniors in NCAA Division I this season.u The Sooners’ average age on opening night in 2017 was 19.9. On the day of OU’s 2018 season opener (Nov. 9), the Oklahoma roster was an average age of 21.1 and the oldest in the Big 12.u Christian James, Rashard Odomes and Jamuni McNeace form the core group of OU seniors, as all three have spent at least four years in the Sooners’ program and were members of the 2016 Final Four team. The trio combines for 353 games of collegiate experience and 157 starts. u Oklahoma also installed significant experience and leadership into its roster through the addition of two graduate transfer guards: Aaron Calixte and Miles Reynolds. An experienced point guard from the University of Maine, Calixte brought in career averages of 11.6 points and 3.0 assists. Reynolds joined the Sooners after two seasons at Pacific, where he scored 13.3 points a game last season. In the team’s annual player poll, Reynolds’ teammates voted him the best vocal leader and one of OU’s best leaders by example.

IT’S NOT WHERE YOU START... u Oklahoma was voted eighth in the Big 12 Conference’s 2018-19 preseason poll. OU finished in seventh place this season and has finished as well or better in the conference standings than predicted in six of its eight seasons under Kruger. u The Sooners also have surpassed last season's win total (18). Kruger’s OU teams have surpassed their win total from each subsequent season in seven of his eight seasons.

DIFFERENT GUY EVERY NIGHT u Oklahoma head coach Lon Kruger has said all season that for the Sooners to be successful, they’ll need contributions from different guys each night. The Sooners have seen just as their roster features eight players averaging at least four points and five averaging at least seven points.u All nine Sooners in Kruger’s main rotation have multiple games of 10-or-more points. Six different Sooners boast at least eight games of double-digit scoring. Five OU players have at least one 20-point performance this season.u The Sooners have had at least three players reach double-digit scoring in all 19 of their wins.

KRUGER INKS TOP-10 RECRUITING CLASS u Oklahoma men’s basketball head coach Lon Kruger announced the Sooners’ highly-anticipated 2019 recruiting class on Nov. 15. The Sooners’ recruiting class is listed in the top 10 nationally by both ESPN (No. 8) and 247Sports (No. 9) and is ranked No. 11 by Rivals. Both ESPN and 247 also list Oklahoma’s incoming class as the best in the Big 12.u The class is comprised of three high school seniors all ranked in the top 100 nationally along with two experienced junior college transfers. Making up the signing class are guards De’Vion Harmon (Denton, Texas) and Alondes Williams (River Grove, Ill.), forwards Jalen Hill (Las Vegas, Nev.) and Victor Iwuakor (Sulphur Springs, Texas) and center Corbin Merritt (Tallahassee, Fla.).u Next season's Oklahoma roster will also feature junior guard Austin Reaves, who is sitting out the 2018-19 season after transfering from Wichita State. Reaves is a proven shooter and threat from behind the arc, going 54-of-127 (.425) from 3-point range as a sophomore and 28-of-55 (.509) in his freshman year. He led the American Athletic Conference in 3-point percentage during conference play in 2017-18 by shooting at a .451 clip (37-for-82).

MARCH TO MADNESS u Oklahoma is continuing its trend of dancing in March under head coach Lon Kruger. Since 2013 (Kruger’s second season at OU), the Sooners have reached the NCAA Tournament on six occasions. Oklahoma is one of only three Big 12 programs to have its name called on six of the last seven Selection Sundays. Under Kruger, the Sooners have reached the Sweet 16 twice along with a trip to the 2016 Final Four.u OU is one of only 13 major-conference schools (of 75 teams) that have made six of the last seven NCAA Tournaments.

The Associated Press announced its All-Time Top 100 in 2017, a ranking system to determine the top programs in men’s college basketball since the AP poll began in 1949. Oklahoma ranked 20th in the All-Time Top 100 – the second highest of any team in the Big 12.

To determine the all-time Top 100, the AP formula counted poll appearances (one point each) to mark consistency and No. 1 rankings (two points each) to acknowledge elite programs. The AP doesn’t release a poll after the NCAA Tournament, so eventual national champions are not factored into these rankings.

Below are numbers breaking down Oklahoma’s history in the AP poll and the Sooners’ place in the All-time Top 100.

u Oklahoma ranks second among Big 12 schools in the All-Time Top 100. Kansas (No. 5) is the only school in the conference ahead of the Sooners.

u Oklahoma’s football program ranks second in the AP Football All-Time Top 100. OU is the only Big 12 school to finish in the top 20 of the All-Time Top 100 in both football and men’s basketball.

u Since the mid-80s, the Sooners have appeared in a majority of all AP polls. Oklahoma has been voted a top-25 team in 55 percent of AP polls since the start of the 1984 season.

u The Sooners have gone nine seasons of being ranked in every AP poll of that season - most recently 2015-16 when Lon Kruger’s squad was in the top 10 of every week’s poll.

u Oklahoma has been ranked No. 1 in the country for a total of eight weeks, most recently claiming the top spot for three straight weeks in 2015-16. All eight No. 1 appearances have come since 1988.

u Oklahoma has reached the Final Four on five occasions - 1939, 1947, 1988, 2002 and 2016.

u OU has seen two players earn National Player of the Year honors in the past 10 years (the most of any school in that span) - Blake Griffin (2008-09) and Buddy Hield (2015-16). Team No.

COACHING LEGEND u In his 33 seasons as a collegiate head coach, Lon Kruger has built his career on the foundation of hard work, humility, integrity and service. From becoming the first Division I coach to guide five different schools to the NCAA Tournament to his dedicated work with Coaches vs. Cancer, Kruger has established a reputation as a genuine leader, winning coach and community champion. The John R. Wooden Award has recognized Kruger’s accolades both on and off the court by selecting him as this season’s recipient of its Legends of Coaching Award. The honor was announced in October by Nan Wooden, daughter of Hall of Fame coach John Wooden.u Created in 1999, the Legends of Coaching honor recognizes college coaches who exemplify Coach Wooden’s high standard of coaching success and personal integrity. The honorees are selected based on character, success on the court, graduation rate of student-athletes in their basketball program, coaching philosophy and identification with the goals of the John R. Wooden Award. As this year’s recipient, Kruger joins a prestigious list of previous honorees that includes Geno Auriemma, Jim Boeheim, Jim Calhoun, Billy Donovan, Tom Izzo, Mike Krzyzewski, Lute Olson, Bill Self, Dean Smith, Pat Summit and Roy Williams. Kruger will be awarded the honor during the fifth annual ESPN College Basketball Awards on April 12, 2019.u Kruger is the first Division I coach to take five different schools to the NCAA Tournament and the only coach to win an NCAA Tournament game with five different programs. In 2015 he became the first coach since the NCAA Tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985 to take four programs to the Sweet 16 or beyond. He has reached the Final Four in 1994 (Florida) and 2016 (Oklahoma) and owns the 10th-most victories (619) among active Division I head coaches.u Kruger’s success at Oklahoma has been evident throughout the country, taking a Sooners team that went 27-36 (.429) in the two seasons prior to his arrival to reaching the Final Four just five years into the job. Since 2011, Kruger has racked up five NCAA Tournament appearances, coached four NBA Draft picks, a national player of the year (Buddy Hield), a national freshman of the year (Trae Young) and was named the 2014 AP Big 12 Coach of the Year. u Kruger has also shown a passion for community leadership, particularly in the fight against cancer. This summer, he was named council chair of Coaches vs. Cancer, a nationwide program partnering with the American Cancer Society and the NABC. Kruger has been a member of the Coaches vs. Cancer Council since 2007 and has been a longtime supporter of the American Cancer Society. As founder and chairman of the Coaches vs. Cancer Las Vegas Golf Classic, Kruger’s leadership has helped the event raise over $3.5 million over the last 11 years.

RECORD SMARTS u A program-record six members of the Oklahoma men's basketball team were named to the 2019 Academic All-Big 12 First Team. The Sooners' academic accomplishment marks just the second time in league history that a school has had six men's basketball players named to the Academic All-Big 12 First Team (Nebraska in 2004). Earning recognition for the Sooners are seniors Patrick Geha, Christian James, Jamuni McNeace and Rashard Odomes along with junior Matt Freeman and sophomore Brady Manek. Freeman and McNeace have earned Academic All-Big 12 honors for three consecutive seasons.

LONGTIME ATHLETIC TRAINER ALEX BROWN TO RETIRE AFTER MARCH MADNESS u Longtime Oklahoma men's basketball athletic trainer Alex Brown announced his plans to retire at the conclusion of this season. Brown has served as the Sooners' athletic trainer for 32 seasons and has worked with three Final Four teams and four head coaches. During his 32 seasons, Brown was on the men’s basketball bench for over 1,050 games including more than 700 Oklahoma victories. He missed only five games during his run as the team's athletic trainer.u Brown has served as a member of the medical staff at two U.S. Olympic Festivals and as trainer for the basketball tryouts for the 1990 World University Games and Goodwill Games. He also spent three weeks as the trainer for the U.S. men’s basketball team which won the bronze medal in the 1991 Pan American Games in Havana, Cuba, and was the official trainer for the gold-medal U.S. team at the 1993 FIBA World Championships in Valladolid, Spain.u An avid golfer, Brown is the defending senior club champion at the OU Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club and is a member of the Golf Digest course-ranking panel. He has 11 holes-in-one to his credit.

THEM BOYS UP TO SOMETHING... u Jordan Brand continues to expand both on the court and on the field. On Nov. 9, 2017, the brand welcomed the University of Oklahoma to the family, making it just the fifth collegiate basketball program and third football program to represent the Jumpman. The Sooners’ uniforms are now in their first season of featuring the iconic Jumpman logo. The partnership includes the football team and the men’s and women’s basketball teams. Oklahoma joins Florida, Michigan and North Carolina as the only schools to wear the Jumpman on its football and basketball uniforms.

GRIFFIN GIVES BACK u The Griffin Family Performance Center is an 18,400-gross-square foot training center located just south of the men’s and women’s basketball’s two existing practice gyms. The performance center, which opened this past summer, was designed to help enhance the strength and conditioning training facilities for both men’s and women’s programs, as well other Sooner student-athletes. The center was primarily financed through a generous gift from Oklahoma alum Blake Griffin – the 2009 consensus national player of the year and the No. 1 overall pick in that year’s NBA Draft.

u With Trae Young’s selection as the fifth overall pick in 2018 NBA Draft, he became the fourth Sooner to be drafted in the Kruger era and the third OU guard to hear his named called on draft night in the past three years. Over the past 10 seasons, Oklahoma boasts seven NBA Draft selections, including three lottery picks. Blake Griffin was selected as the No. 1 overall pick in 2009 and Buddy Hield was taken with the sixth choice in 2016.u OU is the only school with multiple guards (Hield and Young) selected in the top six over the last three NBA Drafts.u Oklahoma and Duke are the only schools with multiple top-six picks over the last three drafts.u Griffin, Hield and Young were all drafted in the top six of their respective drafts. Over the past decade, only Kentucky (eight), Duke (six) and Kansas (four) have more top-six draft picks than Oklahoma.u Over the last three drafts, Oklahoma has as many top-10 draft picks (two) as the rest of the Big 12 combined (Kansas’ Josh Jackson in 2017 as Texas’ Mo Bamba in 2018).u Oklahoma’s three top-10 NBA Draft picks in the last 10 years are the second most in the Big 12 and fifth most in the nation during that stretch. u The NBA trio of Griffin, Hield and Young have gotten off to a hot start in the 2018-19 season. Oklahoma and Kentucky are the only schools with three NBA players who averaged over 18 points in the month of October.u In total, Oklahoma has seen 49 Sooners selected into the NBA Draft, including 10 first-round picks and seven lottery selections.

After inheriting a program that went 27-36 (.429) in the two seasons prior to his arrival, Kruger has coached the Sooners to a 159-104 (.605) record in his eight years in Norman and has reached the NCAA Tournament in five of the past six seasons.

One of Kruger’s signature accomplishments has been the rebuilding stamp he’s put on college basketball programs throughout his career. He was the first Division I coach to take five different schools to the NCAA Tournament and is the only coach to win an NCAA Tournament game with five programs. In 2015, he became the first and only coach since the NCAA Tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985 to take four programs to the Sweet 16 or beyond. He is one of only three head coaches to ever lead four schools to multiple NCAA Tournament wins.

Entering the 2018-19 season with a career record of 619-395 (.611), Kruger boasted the 10th-most career wins among active coaches and is the 33rd head coach to win 600 Division I games in the history of college basketball. Kruger owns a 20-18 record in NCAA Tournament games and has compiled 16 20-plus-win seasons, including nine in his last 13 years.

Oklahoma wasn’t the first rapid turnaround under Kruger. When Kruger took over the Florida job in 1990, the Gators were coming off of a 7-21 season. Four years into the role, Kruger guided UF to the 1994 Final Four. Kruger is one of just two head coaches (also Rick Pitino with Kentucky and Louisville) to inherit two teams coming off a sub-.500 year and take both to the Final Four within the first five seasons as head coach.

A staple of the NCAA postseason, Kruger has taken five different schools to the Big Dance. His collegiate teams have made postseason appearances in 22 of the last 29 years. He has guided teams to 18 NCAA Tournaments, five Sweet 16s and two Final Fours.

As hard as Kruger works to achieve excellence on the hardwood, he is just as committed to his role as a community leader in the fight against cancer. Kruger is in his first year as council chair of Coaches vs. Cancer, a nationwide program partnering with the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches. Kruger has been a member of the Coaches vs. Cancer Council since 2007 and has been a longtime supporter of the American Cancer Society.

Kruger’s accolades both on and off the court have earned him multiple recognitions over recent years. In 2017, Kruger was honored with the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Metropolitan Award for long and outstanding service to men’s college basketball.

Before the start of the 2018-19 campaign, the John R. Wooden Award selected him as the 2019 recipient of its Legends of Coaching Award. Created in 1999, the Legends of Coaching honor recognizes college coaches who exemplify Coach Wooden’s high standard of coaching success and personal integrity. The honorees are selected based on character, success on the court, graduation rate of student-athletes in their basketball program, coaching philosophy and identification with the goals of the John R. Wooden Award.

Kruger rebuilt the Sooners upon his arrival in Norman. His 111 wins in the first five seasons are the second most through the first five seasons of coaching at OU (Billy Tubbs went 115-49 from 1980-85). He was the first coach in OU history to win six NCAA tournament games within his first five seasons. Following the 2013-14 season, he was voted the AP Big 12 Coach of the Year.

Under Kruger, Sooner players have earned First-Team All-Big 12 selections on four occasions and racked up 20 Academic All-Big 12 honors. Buddy Hield, who played four seasons for Kruger (2012-16), was named the winner of the 2016 Wooden Award, Naismith Trophy and the Oscar Robertson Trophy as the national player of the year (first consensus player of the year for OU since Blake Griffin in 2009). Hield was named Big 12 Player of the Year in both 2015 and 2016 (second player in conference history to win the award twice) and exited OU as the Big 12’s all-time leading scorer.

This past season, Kruger mentored Trae Young – the first player in college basketball history to lead the country in both points and assists. Oklahoma’s 11th Consensus All-America First Team selection, Young set program, conference and NCAA records throughout his lone season with the Sooners.

Four Sooners have been drafted into the NBA during Kruger’s tenure, including two in the top six. Young was taken as the fifth overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft while Hield was selected as the sixth overall choice 2016. Isaiah Cousins (2016) and Romero Osby (2013) were chosen in the second round of their respective drafts.

Miles Reynolds’ reaction encapsulates Sooners’ NCAA Tournament bidBy Joe Mussatto | OklahomanMarch 18, 2019

Miles Reynolds had already slapped the floor and sprung out of a crimson folding chair before the last syllable of “Oklahoma Sooners” left Greg Gumbel’s mouth.

Reynolds jumped into the arms of teammate Jamuni McNeace, and that’s where he stayed for a long while, still yelling with joy.

Oklahoma is headed to the NCAA Tournament for the sixth time in the last seven seasons. But for Reynolds and fellow graduate transfer Aaron Calixte, it will be their first trip to the Big Dance.

“I can’t express how nervous I was after the first couple minutes,” Reynolds said while CBS’ selection show still played on the big screen at Lloyd Noble Center. “I’m just glad we got it over with as quick as possible.”

Oklahoma is the No. 9 seed in the South Regional, matched up against No. 8 seed Ole Miss on Friday in Columbia, South Carolina. The game will tip off at 11:40 a.m. on truTV.

The winner will face either No. 1 seed Virginia or No. 16 seed Gardner-Webb in the second round.

The Sooners (19-13) were projected by most to land a No. 10 seed.

“Obviously the committee said that every game counts equal and they stood by their word,” coach Lon Kruger said.

Oklahoma’s season was divided in half by a 12-1 non-conference record and a 7-11 Big 12 mark. OU is the first at-large team in more than 20 years to make the tournament despite winning fewer than eight games in an 18-game conference schedule.

Piling up November and December wins against opponents like Wofford, Florida, Dayton, Creighton and Northwestern proved to be an adequate defense against a poor conference record.

“I feel a lot better now than I did waking up this morning,” Reynolds said. “Making the tournament was the biggest reason I came here. I’ve had full faith in my teammates and coaching staff the whole time. We’re ready to do some work.”

Reynolds, from Chicago, began his college career at St. Louis before transferring to Pacific and then to OU.

Calixte spent four seasons at Maine before moving to Norman.

They, along with freshman Jamal Bieniemy, are the only Sooners unfamiliar with March Madness.

Oklahoma recovered from a five-game losing streak in February to win four of its final six games of the regular season. The tournament bid was likely sealed by a March 5 blowout of Kansas.

“We hit a little slump. Hit a wall,” Reynolds said. “I knew we were going to get out of it. We won the games we needed to win and now it’s a clean slate. Everybody’s 0-0 at this point.”

Now back in Norman, the work is only just beginning for the Sooners. The team will be given some down time to rest and recover from the additional summer workload before returning to offseason workouts in the weight room until official on-court practices return in October. The Sooners aim to continue the high-intensity work they put in over the summer months during their final push to the long-awaited season opener.

“I’m super excited,” said Young. “I’m ready to be in Lloyd Noble and hear the arena loud and rocking. We’re gonna get it right this season and I’m looking forward to all the fans being there right by our sides through this whole journey.”

Now it’s time for the Sooners to help themselvesBy Berry Tramel | OklahomanMarch 18, 2019

The NCAA Tournament Selection Show didn’t make the Sooners wait. Sixty-eight teams would be announced, but “Oklahoma” popped up on the screen as the 22nd name called. That was good for crimson blood pressure, which ran a little high after OU’s loss to last-place West Virginia in the Big 12 Tournament last week.

And that wasn’t the only solid handed out to the Sooners in the 2019 version of March Madness. The NCAA basketball committee did exactly what it said it would do. Don’t ever de-value those who follow through on a promise.

The committee, borrowing a phrase from its football brothers, kept saying that every game counts, that those forgotten games of November and December, some not even played on United States soil, count just as much as the conference showdowns that get many an American through cold winter nights. And then the committee proved it, giving the beleaguered Sooners a No. 9 seed in the South Regional.

OU’s 7-12 record against Big 12 foes? Not a millstone compared to the Sooners’ 12-1 non-conference record that was void of automatic victories.

“Obviously the committee said that every game counts equal, and they stood by their word,” Lon Kruger said. “I don’t know why people ... there are rules to the game and they were pretty clear of what they were but still people want to talk about things that didn’t relate to the selection. I didn’t quite understand that.”

A lot of us didn’t understand why a 7-12 Big 12 record wouldn’t drag down the Sooners, but it’s beginning to get through our thick skulls. OU will play equally mercurial Mississippi on Friday in Columbia, South Carolina, where the Sooners will have to help themselves.

Once the Sooners left Kansas City a few days ago, discouraged by a listless performance against West Virginia, they were powerless to affect their fate. That changes once OU reaches the Palmetto State.

Now it’s time to show that the basketball committee’s criteria is solid and that the Sooner basketball brand remains bright.

This is OU’s sixth NCAA Tournament appearance in the last seven seasons. The NCAAs aren’t exactly an exclusive club, but only 13 of the 75 power-conference schools have made six of the last seven NCAA Tournaments. Only Kansas, Villanova, Michigan State, North Carolina and Duke have made all seven.

So Kruger’s teams have been consistently competitive. But only two of his squads have won NCAA Tournament games – the Buddy Hield-led teams of 2015 and 2016, which combined for six NCAA wins.“To go to the tournament three out of four years is pretty special and I want to make this run pretty special, to end on a good note,” said senior Christian James.

Amen, Kruger said. This is OU’s 32nd NCAA Tournament appearance, which ties for 16th all-time. The Sooners have 41 NCAA Tournament wins, tied for 19th. Compare that to OU’s first-round foe – Ole Miss has made eight NCAA Tournaments in its history and has five wins. One fewer than Buddy Hield.

“At the University of Oklahoma, of course, like you say, playing in the tournament is definitely the expectation,” Kruger said. “Now like Christian said, we gotta go win a game and then we’ll worry about the next one. We’ve got a little more pressure on ourselves to do that and represent a little bit, higher level, if you will. This group understands that.”

After a turbulent season, the Sooners get a fresh start. Beat Ole Miss, and OU will have shown the committee’s faith in its criteria was well-placed.

Meet Mike Shepherd, a man who’s mastered the art of schedulingBy Joe Mussatto | OklahomanMarch 17, 2019

Mike Shepherd used a tunnel in the Sprint Center as his canvas, and his hands as a brush. He drew invisible lines on the wall as he ran through past and potential matchups, all in explaining how a strong resume comes together.

He doesn’t consider it an art, but Oklahoma’s director of basketball operations might as well have been painting.

Scheduling is the style he’s mastered, and in his sport, it’s paramount.

OU, for the second consecutive Selection Sunday, is in solid standing to make the NCAA Tournament despite going 15-21 in Big 12 play over the last two seasons with two first-round conference tournament exits.

Shepherd deflects credit, but his expertise — along with coach Lon Kruger’s willingness to face a difficult schedule and athletic director Joe Castiglione’s final sign off — has been instrumental in making sure the Sooners are one of 68 teams to go dancing.

“Shep is the best in the country at what he does,” Kruger said.

The career arcs of Kruger and Shepherd are congruent. They’ve been together for eight seasons in Norman, and before that, seven years side-by-side at UNLV.

Shepherd’s hometown of Burlingame, Kansas, is a 40-minute drive south of Silver Lake, where Kruger is from. Shepherd was a student manager at Kansas State while Kruger coached the Wildcats. Shepherd’s career began as a volunteer assistant at Florida in 1990. Coaching the Gators? Kruger, of course.

“He really has his hand in everything we do,” Kruger said. “Whether it be lining up rooms on the road, postseason travel, scheduling, being the academic liaison across campus, being the liaison with the housing people … He touches every piece of what’s going on.”

Shepherd, holding his phone in front of him Tuesday night in Kansas City, insists it doesn’t ping at all hours as one might expect.

While most of his job is done behind the scenes, crafting future schedules is work for all fans to see. It’s just not obvious that the man at the head of OU’s bench who’s often holding a clipboard or stat sheet is responsible.

“I think it’s great our schedule is helping the cause right now,” Shepherd said. “But winning games helps it a lot better.”

Oklahoma is 19-13 with a 7-11 regular-season Big 12 record. It’s almost unprecedented for a team to play 18 conference games, only win seven of them, and still receive an NCAA Tournament at-large bid.

Yet the Sooners are projected by most to receive a No. 10 seed Sunday.

Bruce Rasmussen could probably explain why. The Creighton athletic director was chairman of the selection committee last season, and Shepherd will long remember Rasmussen’s analogy.

In the NBA, the first 41 games of a team’s schedule are weighed equal to the final 41. There are far fewer games in college basketball, but think of it much the same.

“Our first segment was potentially as good as some others’ second segment,” Shepherd said of OU’s 12-1 non-conference record. “Just take the record as a whole and then line them up in the conference and we finish sixth.”

Under the scope of overall record, OU, a seven-win Big 12 team, is tied with a Baylor squad that won 10 conference games. The Sooners played the 26th-toughest schedule in the country, according to the NET, while the Bears faced the 33rd.

“People keep talking about conference record,” Kruger said. “Well, conference record doesn’t matter at all. The parameters aren’t even considered.”

As Oklahoma floundered through a five-game losing streak in February, games won in November and December were still propping the Sooners up. Five of OU’s 10 Quadrant 1 and 2 wins came in the nonconference against NET No. 13 Wofford, No. 31 Florida, No. 52 Creighton, No. 69 Dayton and No. 88 Northwestern.

Quadrant 2 games are home against NET Nos. 31-75, road against 76-135 and neutral against 51-100. Oklahoma then went 9-1 against Quadrant 3 teams and was the only program in the country to not face a Quadrant 4 opponent.

Scheduling involves phone calls, texts, emails and sometimes an online system most programs have access to. Need an early December game? The system spits out teams with an available date for that window. Shepherd makes the initial contact with a future opponent, and then he meets with Kruger before Castiglione gives the go-ahead. Working for an athletic director who’s a former chair of the selection committee is yet another resource at Shepherd’s disposal.

There are 353 teams in Division-I college basketball. Castiglione said OU’s goal is to avoid scheduling a team ranked below No. 200 in the NET.

That requires internal projections, and even more so, luck.

It would’ve been hard to anticipate Notre Dame, USC and Northwestern all having lackluster seasons when OU scheduled them. Next year Oklahoma will face a nonconference slate that includes road games at Creighton, Wichita State, North Texas and an SEC opponent.

“Those simple factors of playing games on the road gives you more weight than playing those same opponents at home,” Shepherd said.

The Sooners played just two games in Norman from Nov. 9 to Dec. 17.

Shepherd and the team will be back on the Lloyd Noble Center floor Sunday evening to watch the selection show together.

If Oklahoma’s name appears on a seed line, criticism will certainly be pointed at the team’s conference record.

That’s when Shepherd might bring up a November Monday night win at UTSA. Or a win against Wofford six days later — games all but forgotten by many, but not by a man who’s perfected the art.

Kristian Doolittle’s path to being Sooners’ most unguardable optionBy Joe Mussatto | OklahomanMarch 13, 2019

Kristian Doolittle chooses his words with deliberate sincerity, and when contemplating what he learned about himself this season, “resilience” was an appropriate choice.

He was referring to playing out of position for the better part of the basketball season. A nagging ankle injury has limited former starting center Jamuni McNeace since November, and Doolittle drew the unenviable duty of taking his place.

Resilience is how a 6-foot-7 small forward transformed himself into a small-ball center, and in doing so, helped salvage Oklahoma’s season en route to being named the Big 12’s Most Improved Player.

“At the beginning of the year I was doing things that a traditional center would do, and nothing regarding that was in my benefit because I’m undersized playing that position,” Doolittle said.

But as the season went on, a position switch resulting from a disadvantageous injury evolved into an unlikely edge for OU. Doolittle’s breakout might still have come at his natural position, but it wouldn’t have looked like this.

Doolittle now desires matching up against slow-footed centers. He draws them away from their comfortable living space under the rim, and once they take the bait, he often blows past to the basket or pulls up just short for a signature floater.

That wasn’t the case two months ago when he was first feeling out the position.

“He would get the ball two feet from the rim and pass it opposed to shooting it,” assistant coach Chris Crutchfield said. “We were frustrated as a staff because he had the ability to do what he’s doing now. He had it back then. But when the maturity comes together with the talent, now you’re seeing him start doing the things we envisioned.”

Doolittle’s Most Improved Player designation comes after averaging 11 points and 6.9 rebounds per game following a 2.9-point and 4.3-rebound sophomore season in which he was limited to 22 games because of an academic suspension.

Resilience is the word he circled back to. He was away from the team during the fall semester last year, trying to find pick-up games to stay in shape.

Crutchfield, who recruited Doolittle to OU out of Edmond Memorial, checked on him every day either by call or text.

“We never gave up on him,” Crutchfield said. “We always supported him. Coach Kruger’s probably the best at this when kids make mistakes. Our jobs as coaches is to motivate, inspire and show them the way even through mistakes.”

Doolittle said his grades are “Gucci” now. The human relations major had a six-page paper to write Monday night before the Sooners headed to Kansas City for the Big 12 Tournament.

That declaration led to a typical shrug any college student might show, except now there’s a willingness to at least try to handle his school work in the manner his mind operates on the basketball court — a mind that memorizes opposing teams’ sets and conducts OU’s defense the way a middle linebacker might.

“Not everyone gets a second chance,” he said.

How Lon Kruger kept Sooners together late in seasonBy Joe Mussatto | OklahomanMarch 9, 2019

Lon Kruger, as his Sooners were sitting comfortably on a late double-digit lead against Kansas, walked down the bench with a message for each player.

“Win with class, win with class, win with class,” Kruger repeated to his team.

Oklahoma was on its way to a fourth win in five games. A team that had previously slogged through a five-game losing streak had all but clinched an NCAA Tournament berth with a Tuesday night victory against the 13th-ranked Jayhawks.

Winning streak or losing streak, Kruger’s even-keeled demeanor has been a constant through his eight seasons in Norman. But sometimes it’s criticized.

As the Sooners dropped five consecutive games from Jan. 28 to Feb. 11, some fans took to social media with anger — upset that their coach was seemingly incapable of producing the emotion.

“Even though he’s mild-mannered, his words still carry weight,” forward Kristian Doolittle said. “You can yell the same things that he would say calmly, but I don’t think it would have the same effect. We’re all grown men here. We don’t have to yell at each other to get a point across.”

Along with a prolific stretch of play from Doolittle, fellow forward Brady Manek and freshman point guard Jamal Bieniemy, Kruger has been the glue during a season that once seemed ready to shatter.

Another second-half meltdown flipped into a late-season surge, and suddenly the anger has subsided.

“We have our conversations behind closed doors,” Kruger said. “It’s not like everything was OK. When we’re losing, intensity goes up and the demand goes up. But we want to do that all the time. I’ve never associated yelling, and cussing and ranting with competitiveness. Goodness, that’s silly.”

Kruger will return to his alma mater this weekend for Oklahoma’s 5 p.m. Saturday matchup with Kansas State. Kruger, the Big Eight Player of the Year in 1973 and 1974, has his No. 12 jersey hanging in the rafters of Bramlage Coliseum.

The Silver Lake, Kansas, native will see familiar faces in the administration, at the scorer’s table and in the equipment room. But any fuzzy feelings will be fleeting.

Kansas State will be fighting for at least a share of the conference crown, and Bramlage Coliseum hasn’t been kind territory for Oklahoma. Kruger’s OU teams are 1-6 in Manhattan.

This season, Kansas State was the beginning of Oklahoma’s spiral. The Sooners lost seven of eight Big 12 games starting with the Wildcats on Jan. 16.

“In the non-conference we were constantly telling them, ‘It’s gonna be more physical in the Big 12, it’s gonna be more physical,’” assistant coach Carlin Hartman said. “And then until you experience it, like when we got knocked around the first time by K-State, then it’s like, ‘Oh my goodness. It is more physical.’ It took us a little bit longer than other teams to get to that point.”

Oklahoma is 4-1 since Feb. 16, yet it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what’s changed.

“His demeanor whether or not we win by 20 or lose by 20 stays the same,” Hartman said of Kruger. “I’ve got to imagine playing for him, you feel a sense of comfort like, ‘This guy’s not giving up on me. We’re gonna be OK.’”

Homegrown Sooners Kristian Doolittle and Brady Manek savor ending By Joe Mussatto | OklahomanMarch 6, 2019

It wasn’t just that Kansas’ 14-year reign as King of the Big 12 ended at Oklahoma. It was that two Oklahomans were the ones to finally ensure the Jayhawks wouldn’t finish atop the conference.

In doing so, Edmond’s own Kristian Doolittle and Harrah’s Brady Manek helped to almost certainly seal a Sooner berth in the NCAA Tournament.

“The Streak,” as it’s come to be known as, was a mere subplot in Oklahoma’s 81-68 win.

Manek walked to the Sooner bench as timeout was called four and a half minutes into the game. His arms stretched up, and fingers on both hands were curled in the shape of three. The Sooners had sprinted to an 18-7 lead on 7 of 8 shooting with a trio of 3-pointers.

But Manek wasn’t smiling. His celebration was muted, yet OU’s mood would only grow lighter over the next 90 minutes.

After OU strung together 14-0 and 7-0 runs in the first half and built a 13-point halftime lead, it was natural to expect some sort of Jayhawk comeback when the teams returned to the floor.

“Kansas has such a tradition of making a run, and I thought our guys did a fantastic job of playing each possession to widen the lead instead of waiting for them to make a run,” coach Lon Kruger said.

The Manek-Doolittle duo struck again early in the second half.

Manek, due to his hot shooting, drew a Kansas double-team. Doolittle, his childhood AAU teammate, countered by cutting to the rim for a two-handed slam.

It was the easiest two of Doolittle’s 24 points. He added 11 rebounds and three assists. Manek, his running mate, finished with 21 points and five rebounds.

Together they shot 15 of 25 (60 percent) from the field, building OU’s lead to 24 with 8:31 to go.

“The two of them together tonight were a handful,” Kruger said. “And we needed it.”

The game plan against Manek was “no air space,” Kansas forward Dedric Lawson said afterward. But Manek began the game 5 of 6 from the field and 3 of 4 from three.

The Sooners missed their last five 3-point attempts, but were 9 of 18 from deep through the first 30 minutes.

“To them the basket was as wide as they wanted it to be,” Kansas forward David McCormack said.

The Lloyd Noble Center crowd reached its loudest levels of the season as it watched the Sooners smack the Jayhawks. Standing ovations began as the clock still showed four minutes. Some OU fans left early, but not because of the blowout they might have expected.

They were witnessing history — not only the end of KU’s streak, but also OU’s first double-digit victory against the Jayhawks since 1990.

The Sooners, with one regular season game remaining Saturday at Kansas State, have won four out of their last five games. That coming on the heels of a five-game losing streak. The Sooners are locked in as the No. 7 seed in the upcoming Big 12 Tournament.

As the final two minutes ticked away, seniors Christian James, Rashard Odomes and Jamuni McNeace were subbed out. For the three longtime senior contributors, it signaled their last home game as a Sooner.

James, just the night before, had talked of leaving a legacy.

Twenty-four hours later, he and his teammates capped a long, historic chapter for the opposing program while giving their own side the chance for a last dance.

Miles Reynolds adds maturity to experienced Oklahoma team, now seeks first appearance in NCAA TournamentBy Caleb McCourry | OU DailyMarch 5, 2019

When graduate student transfer Miles Reynolds stepped onto the court in a home exhibition game against Pittsburg State, a new aura of aggressiveness was introduced to Oklahoma.

Reynolds — 6-foot-2, 176 pounds — was diving for loose balls and screaming the loudest when calling for a switch on defense. Early in the second half, Reynolds took two steps through four defenders, and laid it in with contact while knocking down a defender. He then skipped backward to the other end of the court, not breaking eye contact with his fallen defender as he slapped his bicep.

“This is all day baby,” Reynolds said with a laugh. “Practice, shoot-around, games, I’m bringing it.

After the Sooners won 92-58, Sooner Nation welcomed a graduate transfer from Pacific who treats every game as if it were his last. Now in his fifth, and last, year of college basketball, Reynolds is spending it in the Big 12, helping an Oklahoma team that was doubted after the departure of now-Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young. Reynolds and fellow Oklahoma graduate transfer Aaron Calixte have served as a replacement for Young, and have contributed to Oklahoma’s change from an exclusively offensive team to a more well-rounded Oklahoma squad that stresses defense.

But there’s more to Reynolds than meets the eye. The Chicago native comes from a life of basketball – living it, playing and learning from the best while being a leader. His aggression is as powerful as his passion; his love for the game, as contagious as his charisma.

Since his arrival, Reynolds has been a part of the glue bringing a team together. Now, him and the Sooners have two more games on the season against No. 13 Kansas and No. 18 Kansas State, two games that can help Oklahoma’s chances of getting into the NCAA Tournament.

“I think what differentiated Miles, even from an early age, is he always took his work very seriously,” said Sandy Reynolds, his mother.

‘Pied Piper’

Reynolds started playing basketball at age four with a hoop outside his house in a Chicago neighborhood. What came next wasn’t just a love affair with the game, but a serious appreciation of it throughout elementary school, middle school and high school.

“He worked on his fundamentals, he prepared and put time into his development,” Sandy said. “And so even when he was in sixth grade, he was playing with eighth graders. And he was always challenging himself to, you know, be the best and learn as much as he could, from those that had experience and learned as much as he could from those he played with. He was always very unselfish.”

Reynolds did what any kid who’s serious about basketball would do. While playing in middle school, he joined additional organizations, such as AAU and the Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL). In these camps, Reynolds started generating relationships with basketball players such as New Orleans Pelicans center Jahlil Okafor, Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker and Oregon forward Paul White.

“We met at camp ball in about eighth grade. All my closest friends we all met at that same camp,” said Booker, now one of Reynold’s closest

friends. “Miles was a kid that played on the same circuit as me at Nike EYBL, so we developed a friendship then. I went out to Chicago and stayed with him a couple times. He’s a really close family friend of mine.”

Booker would sometimes spend the night at the Reynolds’ house when he was visiting Chicago. They would play basketball around the hoop outside the house. When asked about what he’s learned from their basketball relationship, Reynolds replied simply “Work ethic. Book works as hard as anybody in the (NBA).” Reynolds’ work ethic shows. After practice, you can find Reynolds and Calixte putting in additional shots well after practice.

Booker was one of many kids who would gravitate toward Reynolds. The Reynolds household was often full of basketball players coming and going.

“Miles always had basketball players coming over. He was always kind of like a ‘Pied Piper,’ Sandy said. “A lot of people would come through the house and I would take everybody to their games. So there were always lots of friends.”

Reynolds met Okafor and White on his AAU team in the seventh grade, and were led by the three’s future Whitney Young High School coach Tyrone Slaughter, who immediately noticed the chemistry.

“One of the things about Miles is that, Miles is an incredible leader. He has a tremendous magnetism that draws people to him,” Slaughter said. “They kind of formed that whole group of guys that formed some of the most symbiotic relationships. And you could see that they were all moving toward their position on being good friends, and I think just through the game of basketball and both of their love and passion for the game, their relationship continued to grow and you found them always together.”

After playing together for one year in AAU, Slaughter would have Reynolds, Okafor and White on his high school team at Whitney.

For three years, Whitney couldn’t beat now-Milwaukee Bucks forward Jabari Parker, when he was playing for Simeon High School. “(Simeon) always appeared to be the cross of which we could not bear,” Slaughter said.

Parker graduated in 2013, the end of Reynold’s junior year, and it appeared it was Whitney’s turn to take state. Whitney was the “heir apparent” to win state, Slaughter said.

Whitney beat Benet Academy 46-44 in the 4A Illinois State Championship in 2014, an exclamation mark on Reynolds’ high school career.

“It got me really exposed to the national spotlight a little bit before a lot of kids. High school you’re usually kind of local, but we were on the national stage traveling every weekend playing in cities and states all around the country,” Reynolds said. “High school was definitely memorable from a basketball standpoint.”

‘Defense wins championships’

On and off the court, Reynolds preaches defense, an important aspect of his game he’s had almost his whole life.

“I think he learned early on, and it’s not just a cliche, that defense wins games and defense wins championships,” Sandy said. “I just think that’s the way he’s been taught.”

@OU_MBBall 47


On the court, Reynolds will keep guards from coming any farther from the key and scream the loudest for switches. Off the court, he’ll tell media defense is what he’s about. Reynolds will even go on his Twitter and tell the world that defense is important. After the Chicago Bears’ 15-6 win over the Los Angeles Rams back in December, Reynolds tweeted “GREAT DEFENSE > GREAT OFFENSE.”

Reynolds took his defensive mindset and basketball talents to the St. Louis University out of high school, where in his second year he averaged 8.4 points and 2.2 rebounds a game. After a coaching change, Reynolds transferred to Pacific to play under former NBA guard Damon Stoudamire. Reynolds had to sit out his first year there because of NCAA transfer rules. In his redshirt junior season at Pacific, Reynolds averaged 13.3 points and 2.8 rebounds per game, and earned his degree in business administration.

After getting his degree, Reynolds wanted one last shot to play in the NCAA Tournament, something he was never able to accomplish at Saint Louis or Pacific.

“If you’re willing to lay it all on the line for your last year, and you pick a place that’s as prominent in basketball as OU, that speaks volumes to who you are,” Slaughter said.

Reynolds is now a part of an Oklahoma defense that is second in Big 12 field-goal percentage defense (40.2), a drastic change from last years’ defense that was ninth overall with an average of letting 44.3 percent of opposing shots go in. Since the one-year stint of the Trae Young show in Norman, the Sooners have drastically changed how they play. With Young at the point, the Sooners relied on an explosive offense, ranking No. 1 in the Big 12 in scoring offense, with 84.9 points per game. At the same time, that same Oklahoma squad ranked dead last in scoring defense, allowing 81.7 points per game from opponents. In the other defensive categories, Oklahoma was in the lower percentile in all of them, relying on Young to average 27.4 points per game. The Sooners didn’t make it past the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Reynolds has taken note of what kind of teams win year after year, and has noticed a trend of defense.

“The good teams in the country are the teams that are competing for a championship every year. Villanova was really good defensively last year. Michigan was really good defensively last year,” Reynolds said. “Defense is going to get you over that hump because you’re not going to have it going offensively every night.”

Villanova is the reigning national champion, No. 9 Michigan is 26-4 this year and No. 2 Virginia is 26-2. Reynolds hopes to bring these successes to Norman with defense.

“Getting all the loose balls, diving on the floor, defending 94 feet,” Booker said. “He’s always going to bring that mentality.”

“Players that just want the best for the team”

Back in early 2018, when Reynolds and Calixte first arrived in Norman, the two met up and talked on the balcony of Volare for hours, discussing what the future was for the two grad transfers.

As Reynolds finished up his last season with Pacific, Calixte completed his final season with Maine, where he averaged 16.9 points per game.

“The thing with me and Aaron is we’re just two really unselfish people, players that just want the best for the team,” Reynolds said back in November. “You look at Aaron this year and how unselfish he is, and then you look at his stats last year and he put up 17 a game. And then you look at me, I averaged 15 a game. But it’s not about that here at OU. We’re

just willing to do what it takes for the team. And that’s when we realized we were just focused on the same goal on the court, and it just expanded off the court.”

All season long, the two have served as a one-two punch of experience. Calixte averages 7.4 points a game, and is just coming off a season-high 22-point performance against West Virginia on senior night. Reynolds averages 7.1 points per game with a season-high of 20 points against USC back in December. The two have repeatedly took turns having big games throughout the season.

“It’s meant so much,” said Calixte. “I think it’s him being with me, him being a grad transfer with me, that makes this so much easier.”

“I think the two grad transfers have totally changed their team”

Even though he won, Kansas head coach Bill Self was impressed with the Sooners. To Self, the score didn’t matter. A 70-63 final score with then-No. 5 Kansas on the high side is a win. A year ago, when the Sooners visited Allen Field House, they lost by 30. This year, even though it resulted in an Oklahoma loss, it was a totally different dynamic.

When asked what the difference between the two years was, Self had to answer with graduate transfers Reynolds and Calixte.

“I think the two grad transfers have totally changed their team,” Self said. “To me, they’ve always had nice pieces and good players, but those two little fast guys out there totally change the way they pick up.”

Combined, the two guards had 17 points. But it wasn’t the offensive output that set them apart from the rest of the team. It’s their five years of college basketball experience that matures the team. Reynolds met Kansas guard Devon Dotson on the perimeter with a physical defense that set the Jayhawk offense off pace in the second half of an almost Oklahoma comeback.

“They pressured our point guard, who’s fast, the entire night and didn’t let him ever get comfortable,” Self said. “And our sets didn’t work as well because they pressured us out enough. We haven’t really gone against anybody that attacked our point guard all year long like that.

“I don’t know how it ranks up, but OU’s gotta be one of the most experienced teams age-wise in the country.”

Two months later, the Sooners get a chance at revenge against the Jayhawks. It’s also a make-or-break game for NCAA Tournament hopes, especially for Reynolds and Calixte, who have never been.

But the Sooners have also found adversity since kicking off conference play against Kansas. The team has to settle for a conference record below .500, and have experienced a five-game losing streak past the halfway mark of Big 12 play. But keeping OU in the NCAA Tournament is the team’s 12-1 out-of-conference record. A win against No. 13 Kansas in the Sooners’ last home game of the year would significantly strengthen their resume.

It’ll be Reynolds’ last chance to dance in March.

“I think it was a great experience,” Reynolds said of Big 12 play. “Top to bottom, (it’s) probably one of the best conferences in America. We had some adversity as a team. We had that stretch where we couldn’t really get much going.

“But I think we did a good job as a team sticking together. Nobody really pointed the finger, no matter what we were going through. I think that’s going to pay off in the next couple of weeks going into the ‘big dance.’”

Rashard Odomes and mom Donna Stewart to be honored in special Senior Day celebrationBy Joe Mussatto | OklahomanMarch 2, 2019

Rashard Odomes stared down over his right shoulder and patted the spot twice. It’s where his mom’s name, Donna, is written in cursive script.

“That was my first tattoo,” he said, hesitant to admit he got it when he was 14.

Donna Stewart didn’t mind. She only had a couple rules for her boys when it came to tattoos: No names of women other than mom, grandma or a daughter. And then no tattoos on their forearm or neck. But the spot where “Donna” is inked, just under Odomes’ shoulder, can easily be concealed.

But there will be no concealing the name Saturday.

Retired Sergeant First Class Donna Stewart will stand on the Lloyd Noble Center floor during OU’s 1 p.m. game against West Virginia as the first parent of an OU student-athlete to be honored as Patriot of the Game.

Stewart’s recognition will come on her son’s Senior Day in Norman.

“I don’t think they could’ve picked a better day for it to happen,” Stewart said.

Senior Day for her son will spark memories of an ever-changing role during Odomes’ four-year Sooner career — from sparse playing time as a freshman, to starting 55 games during his sophomore and junior seasons, to starting just nine games this season and seeing his minutes decline to 16.9 per game.

But with only three games remaining in the regular season and OU’s NCAA Tournament standing still insecure, Odomes doesn’t care about roles or playing time.

Despite being on a Final Four team as a freshman, Odomes said the legacy of this senior group — featuring a longstanding core of himself alongside Christian James and Jamuni McNeace — will be remembered by how this 2019 season ends.

“If that means I sit the whole game and we win, leave me out the whole game,” Odomes said. “If that means put me in, let’s do that. At this point we just need to win.”

That unselfishness, played out by his propensity to defend rather than score, comes from his mom.

Stewart enlisted in the Army two weeks after high school as an 18-year-old. She raised Rashard and his older brother Raheem as a single mom. She served in the Iraq War and later fought her own battle with breast cancer.

Be patient and keep working, Odomes tells himself, channeling his mom.

“She’s had to work for everything she’s earned,” Odomes said. “It’s helped me. In little situations on the court I can always refer back to her. She gives me advice because she’s been through it all.”

Class introductions often require the “Tell us a fun fact about yourself” question, and Odomes has a go-to response.

He tells his classmates that he was born in Anchorage, Alaska.

“And nobody believes me,” Odomes said.

Alaska was but one stop in Stewart’s military career. Her first duty station was in Germany. From there she went to Fort Sill in Lawton. After that was Korea, and then Fort Polk in Louisiana where Raheem was born.

From Fort Hood in Texas, located halfway between Waco and Austin, is where Stewart was called in 2003 to serve in Operation Iraqi Freedom. When Stewart left, 6-year-old Rashard went to live with his grandmother in Baltimore, where Stewart is from. Though retired, Stewart still lives 20 minutes from Fort Hood.

Odomes only lived in Baltimore for two years, but it was there his uncle introduced him to football, baseball and basketball — the latter of which would bring him to Norman a decade later after setting the all-time school scoring record at Copperas Cove High School in Texas.

“In Baltimore, you can’t be soft,” Odomes said. “If you’re gonna be soft you’re not gonna make it. It really toughened me up being in an environment like that.”

Odomes is averaging 6.7 points and 2.4 rebounds per game, but the bulk of his value doesn’t register in the stat book.

He often defends the opponent’s best player, and his 6-foot-6 and 217-pound frame gives him the versatility to guard on the perimeter and in the post.

“Energy and enthusiasm is a big part of what makes him productive,” coach Lon Kruger said. “Coaches always love that stuff. He’s not a rah-rah guy by any means, but he’s a guy that other guys respect and listen to when he speaks.”

Odomes described his senior season as a roller coaster, but he said that’s to be expected. After all, it follows the arc of his OU career.

Senior Day will mark one of the last turns in that ride, and it will come with his mom by his side.

Stewart laughs thinking back to Odomes’ high school days. No matter how big or small the gym, Odomes could always find where she was sitting. And he was quick to remind her after the game if she was even one minute late.

Odomes won’t have to look hard for his mom Saturday. The whole crowd will be standing in recognition of her.

“If I live to be 100 years old,” Stewart said, “I’ll always remember this day.”

From New Zealand to Oklahoma, Steven Adams and Matt Freeman have each other’s backBy Joe Mussatto | OklahomanFebruary 16, 2019

Matt Freeman could take State Highway 1 south from Auckland, connect with State Highway 27, and then head east on State Highway 5. That 3-hour and 228-kilometer jaunt would land him in Rotorua, New Zealand — known for its mud pools, hot springs and the country’s most famous basketball player, Steven Adams.

Or, if he really wanted to see Adams, he could save himself an 18-hour flight with a half-hour drive up I-35.

Freeman is 7,500 miles from his hometown of Auckland, New Zealand, but 20 miles of Oklahoma pavement is the only distance between the Sooner forward and Adams — the Thunder’s beloved center and the state’s honorary New Zealand ambassador.

“I haven’t messaged him in a long time,” Freeman said. “He’s super busy and making millions of dollars. I don’t want to bother him.”

Freeman enrolled at OU in January 2016. But before he committed, the 6-foot-10 sharpshooter connected with Adams, who had a unique perspective as a transplant Kiwi in the land of Okies.

“I usually try to reach out to most of the athletes from New Zealand because it’s a tough transition, you know?” said Adams, keeping a straight face before cracking a smile. “Going from New Zealand, being such an awesome country, way better than America, to then stepping down, coming to America. It’s tough, it’s tough.”

Though not the five-star commodity Adams was coming out of high school, Freeman was a known player on the New Zealand circuit who had garnered interest from Tennessee, Notre Dame and Vanderbilt.

Oklahoma was also on the list. Coach Lon Kruger remembers receiving an email that included Freeman’s highlight tape. The Sooner coach liked what he saw. He just wanted to see Freeman firsthand.

That opportunity came in Las Vegas in the summer of 2015. Freeman’s team was in the states for a showcase tournament.

“I had a terrible game and they still offered me,” Freeman said. “That spoke a lot about what Oklahoma was about.”

Now deep into his third season with the Sooners, Freeman is shooting a career-best 35 percent from three. Sixty-five percent of his field goal attempts have come from behind the 3-point line.

Freeman fell out of Oklahoma’s rotation last season as his shot faltered, but he’s averaging 12 minutes per game this year and has played in 23 of OU’s 25 games.

“He’s a great teammate,” senior guard Rashard Odomes said. “Some people that might have been in his situation before — last year he wasn’t playing so much — they might’ve just quit and gave up on the team. But his attitude never changes.”

When Freeman makes it back home, which isn’t but once a year, he often gets asked about Adams. The two haven’t talked since Freeman’s freshman year, save a couple airport encounters, but Freeman admires what Adams has done for basketball in New Zealand.

“He’s obviously a freak of nature, but he’s shown that coming from such a small country, it’s possible to make it,” Freeman said. “And he’s made it, made it. He’s made it possible for a lot of younger kids back home.”

Though on a different level, Freeman is providing similar hope to aspiring basketball players in his home country. He can no longer count the number of Division-I basketball players from New Zealand on one hand.

But any list involving New Zealand and basketball starts with Adams.

Videos of Adams’ interviews make Freeman laugh, while also reminding him of home.

“He’s just a true Kiwi, honestly,” Freeman said. “He tells you what’s on his mind. I guess it’s a little bit foreign here.”

True to form, Adams remembers what he told Freeman when he came to Oklahoma.

“It was just that he’s got some support here and he’s got someone that if anything happens he can reach out,” Adams said. “It’s more so that than day-to-day pat on the back sort of thing. It’s more like, ‘Look mate, if (crap) hits the fan, you never know, we’ll try to figure something out.’”

Kristian Doolittle, no longer defined by suspension, has emerged as leaderBy Joe Mussatto | OklahomanFebruary 11, 2019

Sitting to the left of coach Lon Kruger in a postgame news conferences, Kristian Doolittle has become Oklahoma’s de facto spokesman during his team’s four-game losing streak.

The junior forward from Edmond Memorial checks the box score in front of him before answering questions. Two weeks ago, Doolittle stared at rows of numbers that added up to a 30-point home loss to Baylor. At 8 p.m. Monday in Waco, Texas, Doolittle and the Sooners will again face the Bears.

“I wasn’t holding myself accountable,” Doolittle said after the Baylor blowout. “It showed tonight.”

Doolittle was back in the same chair Saturday night, this time after a 12-point home loss to Texas Tech.

“I have to hold myself accountable,” he said again, “and hold my teammates accountable, and it goes for all the seniors as well. Everyone has a voice on this team.”

Doolittle’s voice has carried the most weight in recent weeks, whether directing his teammates as the undersized center in the middle of OU’s defense, or giving an honest postgame assessment of what exactly has gone wrong in 2019.

He often blames himself, but the 6-foot-7 forward has emerged as Oklahoma’s most well-rounded player in the season following his academic suspension.

Doolittle ranks among OU’s top-three players in points, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals, field goal percentage and free throw percentage during Big 12 play.

“He’s always been that player that when the team doesn’t do well, he takes an introspective look at himself and wants to know what he could’ve done,” his dad, Dwayne Doolittle, told The Oklahoman.

Kristian and Dwayne, a longtime basketball and football official, talk after every game. The younger Doolittle is obsessed with X’s and O’s — a trait his dad thinks will make him a great coach some day.

They rehash plays, dissecting why Kristian passed up a specific shot or why he defended an opponent a certain way.

But on Saturday they just looked at each other and hugged.

“Is it frustrating? Absolutely,” Dwayne Doolittle said of the losing streak. “You’ve got a kid out there playing. It’s one thing to lose as a fan, but it’s another when you’ve got relatives out there. You try to talk them down off the proverbial ledge. And it’s not just him. It’s the entire team that needs encouragement.”

It’s not the first time Dwayne has felt the need to pick his son up. Kristian Doolittle missed the first nine games of last season due to suspension.

“He was embarrassed,” Dwayne said. “He’s a better person, he’s a better student and he’s a better ball player. I think all of those things are better for what he’s gone through.”

During the suspension, Dwayne made Kristian download a calendar countdown app on his phone. Each day brought Kristian closer to re-joining his team.

His dad asked former coaches and players to work out with his son through the first-semester suspension. Dwayne remembers watching Kristian take 50 shots, then running the length of the floor, needing to make five consecutive free throws to finish a drill.

Doolittle, a year later, is now one of Oklahoma’s leaders, trying to revive his team’s season as he did to his own career.

“He had some dark days, some low moments,” Dwayne said. “But his mom and I told him, ‘Listen, what happened to you doesn’t define who you are. It’s not the end of your story.’”

In first season as Coaches vs. Cancer chairman, Lon Kruger still active in fight against cancerBy John McKelvey | Norman TrancriptJanuary 26, 2019

When Lon Kruger buttons his suit and laces his Nike sneakers this Saturday against Vanderbilt, it will carry a little more meaning.

The 3 p.m. game at Lloyd Noble Center will be nationally televised as part of the annual Big 12/SEC Showdown, providing a platform for Kruger’s final game of this year’s Suits and Sneakers week, a signature event of the Coaches vs. Cancer program.

It’s a collaboration between the American Cancer Society and National Association of Basketball Coaches, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary.

Kruger has long been a contributor of the program, even helping create an annual charity golf tournament in Las Vegas, but this season is different as he took over as chairman of the CVC’s 34-person council in September.

“It means a little extra responsibility,” Kruger said. “It still means the same. It’s a nasty disease that touches everyone, and it’s our duty to assist in any way.”

Kruger shrugs aside his role, but he’s been one of the most active coaches in advocating for the American Cancer Society, according to Chief Development, Marketing and Communications officer Sharon Byars.

Since its inception, CVC has raised more than $115 million in support of the American Cancer Society. The ACS prides itself on helping reduce the rate of deaths by cancer 27 percent from 1991-2017, while estimating that 1 in 3 people will be diagnosed with some form of cancer. Suits and Sneakers week, which runs Jan. 21-27, includes both high school and college coaches.

Kruger, now in his 33rd season as a college head coach, contributes to the program’s effectiveness.

“He leads with his heart, and he’s one of the most passionate people I’ve met to really create a world that’s not only cancer free but also a kinder world,” Byars said. “He’s just a true leader. What I mean by that is that you can have a fancy title and force people to try to follow you or you can be a true leader like coach Kruger where people are inspired and want to just go wherever he goes and support whatever he does.”

In 1998, Kruger’s father, Don, passed away due to skin cancer. Since, Kruger has made it a priority to be involved.

In 2009, he was awarded the Legacy and Leadership Visionary Award by the ACS’ Las Vegas region. He was also recognized with the 2012 Coaches vs. Cancer Champion Award. Then, in 2017, he was the recipient of the prestigious St. George National Award, given for extraordinary service to the community in support of the ACS’ mission to fight cancer.

Kruger calls the program a team effort and applauds other members of the community who find unique ways of helping advance and fund cancer research.

One example involves West Virginia’s Bob Huggins. Each time his Mountaineers beat Kansas, as they did last Saturday at home, West Virginia makes a $25,000 donation to the Norma Mae Huggins Cancer Research Endowment, named after his mother, who died from cancer in 2003.

“I don’t know the specifics about it, but I think that’s great,” Kruger said. “Any time someone does something like that, it shows that they have a good heart and care about others.”

OU setting pace in college basketball’s technology-driven raceBy Joe Mussatto | OklahomanJanuary 23, 2019

College basketball practice courts now double as laboratories, and Oklahoma believes it’s among the front-runners in a race for technological advantages that are transforming the sport.

OU forward Kristian Doolittle tossed a belt-like contraption to the side of the court Monday in practice. It was his heart rate monitor. Every player wears one under his jersey during practices.

A laptop on a silver cart at one corner of the court is watched by an intern or graduate assistant. The screen is filled with numbers showing how hard every player is working. Players also wear a device in which gyroscopes and accelerometers measure sprints, cuts and the stress being put on their bodies.

“I go over and check sometimes,” forward Rashard Odomes said.

Odomes likes to joke with Bryce Daub, men’s basketball director of strength and performance. Daub, who grew up in Bellevue, Washington, is in his fourth season at OU.

“If I ain’t got it on I tell him my heart stopped beating so I ain’t gotta run back to the locker room and go get it,” Odomes said with a laugh. “No heartbeat today. It stopped.”

Heart beat monitors are Stone Age gadgets compared to some technology the Sooners possess. The high-end equipment is housed in the Griffin Family Performance Center — a $7 million facility that opened in June.

“There’s stuff in here that I’ve never used and I’ve never had in my whole NBA career,” Blake Griffin said at the dedication ceremony.

The new performance center is accessed through a tunnel from the practice courts.

The facility has a Dexa scanner to measure body composition. Cameras are mounted to weight racks. Players jump on force plates, and those jumps produce 50 quantitative metrics.

Not any one tool is a groundbreaking invention of OU’s, but Daub said there are very few places in the country where so many are housed under one roof.

And while he’s not shy to share what the Griffin Family Performance Center contains, divulging how OU uses information gathered by those machines is more sensitive.

It’s the job of Daub and his staff to translate the unending accumulation of numbers into results for coach Lon Kruger’s squad. The Sooners (13-5, 2-4 Big 12) play Oklahoma State at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Stillwater.

“All the information that we collect is worthless if it doesn’t improve the athlete’s performances, well-being or risk of injury,” Daub said.

The bridge between performance numbers and basketball is built by conversations between Daub and the coaching staff.

“Where we see guys, where they fit into the team, how coach sees them fitting into the scheme and things we need to improve upon to make them a better athlete based upon the system that coach puts together,” Daub said.

Christian James, in his fourth season at OU, has witnessed the rapid evolution of technology in workouts and practices.

“A total 360,” James said. “We didn’t really have technology like that coming in my freshman year.”

ShotTracker is his favorite tool.

A rack of battery-powered basketballs is stationed on the west side of OU’s practice court. Players fix a small, square tracker to one of their shoes. That tracker syncs with the basketballs and records a player’s makes and misses.

“It’s a little competition,” Odomes said. “You wanna be the one getting up the most shots? Well, now you can tell. You can’t just say you’re in the gym. You can see who’s really in the gym and who’s not.”

Players review the statistics through an app.

Oklahoma started using ShotTracker in the summer, but the balls aren’t often used during the season. The Sooners instead practice with the brand of ball they’ll use in the upcoming game.

ShotTracker is a shiny toy, but one with a practical use.

“If it doesn’t then we’re wasting money,” Kruger said. “I think the more shots players get up, the better conditioning they’re in, all that translates a certain degree with each player.”

While OU and other programs search for competitive advantages hidden in a maze of numbers, Daub said the use of technology in basketball will always be supplemental to the art of coaching.

“One will never be replaced by the other,” Daub said, “but I think a marriage between coaching intuition and the information we collect could be a really exciting future for basketball.”

How the Sooners have moved on from the Trae Young show...By Joe Mussatto | OklahomanJanuary 19, 2019

Oklahoma and Texas will play Saturday in Austin, and few outside the conference are likely to notice.

A year ago, Austin hosted ESPN’s College GameDay when the Sooners came to town. Trae Young and then-No. 12 OU were shaping the sport’s narrative, and literally altering college basketball broadcasts.

“Not everything we do is criticized by SportsCenter every night,” junior forward Kristian Doolittle said Thursday. “That’s a change.”

By February of last year, Young’s live stat line hovered over the score of non-related games — a Boston College-Pittsburgh matchup for example.

“It was the Trae Young show,” Kansas State coach Bruce Weber said. “It wasn’t the easiest thing for them.

“They got a lot of publicity for Oklahoma. They got a lot of publicity for our league. But now he’s gone. They want to show people, ‘Hey, we’re still pretty good.’”

The 20th-ranked Sooners (13-4, 2-3 Big 12) are one game behind their pace from a year ago. But last year’s team lost 10 of its final 14 regular season games, followed by first-round exits in the Big 12 and NCAA Tournaments.

For all of Young’s historic achievements — the first player to lead the country in points and assists being one of them — OU’s second-half collapse and Young’s offense-first style has become a much-discussed topic among opposing coaches this season.

Sometimes the references to Young are veiled. But Weber, on Wednesday, mentioned Young without being prompted.

In early December, Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall complimented OU’s scoring diversity and said the Sooners “seem to be having a little more fun” compared to last year.

Oklahoma State coach Mike Boynton, while noting that Young was a “tremendous asset” to OU, said last year was an “anomaly” compared to typical defensive-minded Lon Kruger teams.

Oklahoma ranks ninth in adjusted defensive efficiency compared to 85th last year, according to KenPom. Conversely, the 37th-ranked offense from a year ago has fallen to 74th. OU is averaging 73.6 points per game compared to 81.2 last season.

But given Kruger’s background, this is the style he’s more comfortable with. And given his personality, a dimming of the spotlight is almost certainly appreciated.

“I sensed times in the second half of the year that Coach Kruger wished he could put the genie back in the bottle and maybe kind of rein in all the attention that surrounded Trae and the team,” ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla told The Oklahoman.

“And maybe to a lesser degree rein Trae in a little bit, but hey, the proof’s in the pudding. The kid was a top-5 NBA pick, so he made his contribution in many ways. But this team is certainly more of a traditional Lon Kruger team.”

Kruger, while saying this season has been a return to normalcy, has no complaints about Young, who elevated OU basketball into a must-see event. Kruger often tunes into Atlanta Hawks games to watch the rookie.

Young has started all 44 games this season, averaging 16 points and 7.2 assists per game. He’s shooting 39.7 percent from the field and 29.5 percent from three.

“When we won games early, Trae got a lot of credit for it,” Kruger said. “When we lost games late, Trae got a lot of blame for that. It goes with the territory of a leading player on any team.”

Fraschilla said last year’s coverage of OU was “a circus,” admittedly caused in part by ESPN, his company.

Young’s former teammates disagree.

“Trae did what he did,” senior guard Christian James said. “He’s a great player. I wouldn’t necessarily call it a circus. He earned that.”

Doolittle downplayed any perceived tension that was born out of Young’s fame.

“We were all glad to have Trae,” Doolittle said. “We’re happy for the success that he had while he was here, and nothing but success going forward for him.”

Oklahoma veteran guards Odomes, Reynolds key to slowing opponents’ momentumBy John McKelvey | Norman TranscriptJanuary 16, 2019

It’s a luxury to have guards Rashard Odomes and Miles Reynolds coming off the bench, and one that Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger doesn’t take lightly.

The 20th-ranked Sooners (13-3, 2-2 Big 12) enter Wednesday’s 6 p.m. matchup against Kansas State at Lloyd Noble Center ranked No. 8 in statistician Ken Pomeroy’s adjusted defensive ratings. The Wildcats (12-4, 2-2) are No. 5, coming off a 58-57 upset at then-No. 20 Iowa State last Saturday.

They’re known for long possessions, often draining the shot clock down to the final seconds before hoisting a shot attempt. When a couple go down, it becomes a rallying cry for more, and most opponents have difficulty slowing Kansas State’s momentum.

As two of the best and most experienced defenders on the team, Odomes and Reynolds give Kruger a weapon against that.

“Guys come in and know that they need to bring energy, need to work to get a stop and pick up the level of intensity,” Kruger said. “Rashard and Miles in particular have done a really good job of that.”

Odomes was the team’s main defensive stopper last season. In his four years at OU, he’s started 55 games but none this season.

Reynolds started eight games while center Jamuni McNeace nursed an ankle injury. Over that stretch he averaged 8.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game, but he understands and appreciates the value he can provide off the bench.

“I look at it as an advantage,” Reynolds said. “I get to get a feel for the game, how the other team is playing us. Then we play some teams that don’t have the depth we do, because I think we’re one of the deeper teams in the country. They’re going to be a little fatigued and that’s going to open up things, especially in the second half.”

Even before the season, Reynolds was very vocal about his belief in this group defensively.

So far, he’s been proven right. In a 76-74 win over TCU Saturday, OU held an opponent under 35 percent shooting for the sixth time this season and forced double-digit turnovers for 11th time. This despite surrendering its most points in eight games.

“You can go back to my interviews in September and October, and I’ve always had extreme confidence in this group defensively,” Reynolds said. “Back then, some people looked at me like I was crazy. After last year and the year before that, there weren’t too many believers.”

Even while the Wildcats have had mostly low-scoring games, they’ll test the Sooners defensively.

The return of Dean Wade, the preseason Big 12 player of the year, from injury will add another layer of difficulty. Wade averaged 16.2 points and 6.2 rebounds while guiding Kansas State to the Elite Eight last season, and at 6 foot 8, 225 pounds, he knocked down 44 percent of his 3-point attempts.

“He gives them not only an additional weapon on the floor, but also greater security confidence-wise,” Kruger said. “He’s just a terrific player that can score in so many different ways.”

But if Wade knocks down a few shots, igniting guards Barry Brown and Kamau Stokes, Kruger will have an answer. Two reliable defenders like Reynolds and Odomes can help get a few stops and shift momentum back in the Sooners’ favor.

Freshman PG Jamal Bieniemy has ‘chance to be a star’By Joe Mussatto | OklahomanJanuary 12, 2019

When he’s backpedaling, crouched in his defensive stance, Oklahoma point guard Jamal Bieniemy looks like he should be lined up against a wide receiver.

For Bieniemy, football success at the highest level is but a few branches away on the family tree. His uncle, Eric Bieniemy, played nine years as an NFL running back after an All-American career at Colorado. The current Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator has been on the shortlist for several NFL head coaching jobs.

“He’s where I’m trying to get,” Jamal Bieniemy said. “Whenever I need something I talk to him and he just gives me advice. It’s a good relationship.”

Eric’s best advice for his nephew?

“He actually told me to stick to basketball — stick to what I know,” Jamal Bieniemy said.

So instead of playing in Lincoln Riley’s defensive backfield, Bieniemy is a freshman in Lon Kruger’s backcourt.

Coaches at Tompkins High School in Katy, Texas, urged Bieniemy to play football, but he hung up his cleats in the sixth grade with no intention of lacing them up again.

“I was too skinny and it was hot,” the 6-foot-4 and 181-pound guard said. “It was Texas hot. I just stuck with an indoor sport.”

But even the way he talks about playing defense on the court, “I get my hands on a lot of passes,” makes one wonder how he’d look in a helmet and shoulder pads.

Defense is Bieniemy’s best attribute, and length is his most disruptive tool. The OU backup point guard leads the Sooners with 19 steals despite being seventh on the team in minutes.

He swipes a steal at a Big 12-best 3.76 percent of the defensive possessions he’s on the floor, according to KenPom.

“He has a knack for the ball, a unique talent on defense,” former Sooner and current Dallas Mavericks scout Eduardo Najera said. “His offense is very raw, but he’s got something that is intriguing.”

His scoring — 3.5 points per game on 31 percent shooting — is underdeveloped compared to his defensive shrewdness, but Bieniemy has already shown a propensity for clutch shooting. He hit late-game 3-pointers against Kansas, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech and is shooting 38 percent from deep on limited attempts (8 for 21).

Bieniemy’s potential has excited those who know the game best.

“Jamal’s like the poster boy for a young Big 12 player who you’re looking at and saying, ‘This kid’s got a chance to be a star some day,’” ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla told The Oklahoman.

The Big 12 has produced the occasional Kevin Durant and Trae Young, Fraschilla said, but Bieniemy reminds him of players like Buddy Hield, Frank Mason, Georges Niang and Keenan Evans — all of whom had a lasting impact on the conference.

Bieniemy is the lone freshman on a 23rd-ranked Oklahoma team (12-3, 1-2 Big 12) that is the most experienced of any major-conference squad.

“For him to have gained the trust of a hall of fame coach says a lot,” Fraschilla said.

Bieniemy ranks third in the Big 12 and third nationally among freshmen with a 3.21 assist to turnover ratio.

OU starting point guard Aaron Calixte, a graduate transfer, has 48 assists against 34 turnovers. Bieniemy has 45 assists and just 14 turnovers.

“I almost think he’s a junior or senior now with what he brings to the game,” Calixte said. “He doesn’t ever seem to get rattled by anything. He’s smooth. He’s poised. He’s awesome.”

Jamuni McNeace’s return to health has been test of patienceBy Eric Bailey | Tulsa WorldJanuary 12, 2019

Jamuni McNeace can’t wait to be 100 percent healthy.

The Oklahoma center smiled when asked about being patient through the healing process since he suffered a severe ankle sprain in practice before a Dec. 4 win against Notre Dame at Madison Square Garden in New York.

“It’s been a whole bunch of weeks. It was a day-to-day thing to see how I was feeling. I’d try a little bit and if it hurt, I would stop,” McNeace said Thursday. “It’s been a push-pull type of thing where it was just based on how I was feeling. It’s been feeling pretty cool pretty consistently. I feel like it won’t be a problem anymore.”

McNeace has only played a combined 21 minutes in three Big 12 games heading into Saturday’s 1 p.m. home game against No. 25 TCU.

The senior looked fine at a Thursday practice, and OU coach Lon Kruger expects everything to trend upward from this point.

“He’s close to 100 percent,” Kruger said. “It’s probably a little bit now more mental than physical. An injury like that, especially when running and jumping is so much part of your game, you are thinking about landing and rolling it again, it’s hard to turn it loose. It’s more of a case of him just turning it loose.”

The injury occurred during a two-on-one drill before the Notre Dame game. He landed on his ankle wrong and a teammate stepped on it as the ankle was rolling to torque it even more.

McNeace only missed two games but hasn’t played more than 17 minutes in six game appearances since the injury occurred.

OU had to adapt to his absence. McNeace led the Sooners in rebounds and blocks last season and was coming off a 16-point, 10-rebound game against Dayton in nonconference play.

Kristian Doolittle has been asked to do more in the paint since then, and the 6-foot-7 forward is ready for his 6-10 counterpart to return to full strength.

“(It will be) really good, a low-post presence that we really need on offense and defense, and he protects the rim and finishes around the rim,” Doolittle said. “We’ve been waiting on him to get back. I’ve been doing my part to hold down the middle as best as I can until he gets back. Excited to get him back for TCU.”

Doolittle has averaged 10.1 points and six rebounds a game while being forced to play in the post.

McNeace laughed when asked about Doolittle’s recent play: “That’s a big dude with big-dude energy.”

In seriousness, McNeace has been impressed with his team’s defensive play with him off the court.

“I feel like that it has defined who we are defensively. They’ve been handling business even without a shot blocker in,” McNeace said. “I feel like if I come back to 100, we can be a lot better and lift that up a little bit. Take pressure off the other guys.”

Without Trae Young, Sooners return to defense over dazzleBy Guerin Emig | Tulsa WorldJanuary 12, 2019

Through the first 14 games of the 2017-18 season, the Oklahoma basketball team was 12-2.

Through the first 14 games of this season, the Sooners again are 12-2.

Lon Kruger coached both teams. That’s where the similarities end.

Last season’s Sooners were billed as TRAE YOUNG and the Sooners. As Young became a phenomenon, OU within a period of four weeks zoomed from unranked to No. 4 nationally.

Kruger got what every coach wants — a McDonald’s All-American. A one-and-done superstar who would go on to be selected fifth overall in the NBA draft.

Kruger also got a Sooners team that was great only when Young was great.

When Young missed shots — and he missed a ton of shots during the second half of that season — OU was awful: 4-12 in its last 16 games.

When those Sooners unraveled, they did it emphatically and completely. Four weeks after having risen to No. 4 in the polls, they again were unranked. They somehow secured an NCAA Tournament ticket but were bounced by Rhode Island in the first round.

“Last year with Trae and what he brought skill-wise,” Kruger said, “it was at the other end of what’s normal for us, for sure.”

Kruger never would say anything derogatory about Trae Young, but the eighth-year Sooners coach must be enjoying this conventional 2018-19 season infinitely more than unconventional 2017-18.

Instead of wrapping the program around a ball-dominant shooter, Kruger has a balanced squad that shares the basketball and thrives at the defensive end.

In last season’s Bedlam game at Stillwater, Young scored 48 of OU’s 81 points and launched 39 of OU’s 82 shots from the field. Teammates Christian James, Brady Manek and Kristian Doolittle were a combined 7-of-27 for 18 points. Oklahoma State celebrated a two-point overtime victory.

By the end of Saturday’s Bedlam reunion at the Lloyd Noble Center, the stat sheet looked like a traditional Kruger stat sheet.

As 23rd-ranked Oklahoma prevailed 74-64 — evening its Big 12 record at 1-1 — six Sooners totaled at least five shot attempts and at least six points. No one attempted more than 13 shots. From James, Manek and Doolittle collectively, there were 45 points and 24 rebounds.

Statistically, the Sooners are among the better defenders in college basketball. As neither Bedlam team functioned at a high level offensively, Oklahoma won because of its defense and 51-39 advantage on rebounds.

OSU guard Thomas Dziagwa was 6-of-12 shooting overall and 4-of-8 on 3-pointers. The other Cowboys were 16-of-52 and 2-of-18, respectively.

Oklahoma State has a real problem with fouling. Through two conference games (losses to Iowa State and OU), the Cowboys have committed 46 fouls and are minus-19 on points scored at the foul line. On Saturday, Lindy Waters had three fouls by the 14-minute mark of the first half.

In October, OSU was picked to finish last in the Big 12 race. If this fouling issue persists, the Cowboys really may be destined for 10th place.

Comparing the TRAE YOUNG Sooners to the 2018-19 Sooners, OSU coach Mike Boynton said, “Last year was more the anomaly. This is what coach Kruger’s teams have looked like and played like since I’ve watched them. I’m sure he feels much more comfortable with the way they’re defending. I think they kind of let that get away from them (last season).

“This is a Lon Kruger team, and I have a lot of respect for him and the way he does things.”

These Sooners aren’t Kruger’s best Sooners. His 2016 team surged to the Final Four because it effectively melded the team concept with the shooting of Buddy Hield — an All-American and the Wooden Award winner.

On any given night this season, any of four Sooners — James, Manek, Doolittle and Miles Reynolds — might lead the team in scoring. There isn’t a reliance on an overwhelming figure like Trae Young.

There have been and will be fluctuations in OU’s offensive performances, but the foundation of this Kruger team is defense. Not dazzle.

Brady Manek’s all-around transformation could have lasting impactBy John McKelvey | Norman TranscriptJanuary 5, 2019

Brady Manek spent roughly an hour and a half after Friday’s practice playing H-O-R-S-E with 9-year-old Kade Donaghey on the Lloyd Noble Center court.

Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger keeps every practice open to the public, and Kade’s father, Kyle, had brought Kade and his 12-year-old sister, Kinlee, from Tecumseh to get a glimpse of OU before Saturday’s 1 p.m. home game against Oklahoma State. They left with a few pieces of signed memorabilia, and a moment Kade won’t soon forget.

Manek understands his stardom.

He and Kristian Doolittle are the only members of OU’s rotation from the Sooner State, but Manek has a unique impact, graduating from Harrah High School in a town of 6,311.

“I kind of made my name in Harrah,” Manek said. “Being there, being around those kids and making lifelong friends in Harrah. There were a couple of my coaches at the Kansas game the other day. I still talk to my friends there, a lot of them came home for Christmas break.”

Last year against OSU, the 6-foot-9 sharpshooting forward had his own unforgettable evening at Lloyd Noble Center.

He knocked down 6 of 8 3-pointers to score a career-high 28 points as the Sooners romped past their rival 109-89. Manek flashed that touch Friday, shouting “I can’t miss” as he knocked down back-to-back NBA-range 3-pointers in his light-hearted game with the young Sooner fan.

But for all of last season that feeling never traveled with him outside of Norman.

Manek had one of the most bizarre home/road shooting splits in college basketball, sinking 52.8 percent of his 3s at the Lloyd Noble Center while hitting just 25.6 of them everywhere else.

“His whole game is his confidence,” forward Jamuni McNeace said. “As long as he doesn’t get in his own head, he’ll be fine.”

He found that confidence by becoming more than just a shooter.

Manek didn’t record a double-double all of last season, but has five already as a sophomore, including a 16-point, 11-rebound effort at No. 5 Kansas Wednesday. He also guarded KU’s best player, 6-9, 230-pound future NBA Draft pick Dedric Lawson. While Lawson grabbed 15 rebounds, he also missed his 11 of his 17 shots.

While Manek’s shot was still a little off, hitting just 1 of 4 3-pointers, he attacked the basket and finished 6 of 13 from the field.

“I’m doing more things than I was last year,” Manek said. “I’m rebounding it, being more physical, just playing better defense and stuff like that.”

Still, shooting will always be an important part of Manek’s game.

It’s hard to find players his size with a quick release who can knock down perimeter shots consistently, and last year’s game against OSU showed his potential. But in becoming more than just a scorer, he’s transformed himself into one of OU’s go-to guys regardless of whether he’s dominating from distance.

“He’s probably one of the best guys,” McNeace said. “He’s a top-three player on our team, and when he’s confident, he brings everyone else up as well.”

That’s a unique role for a player from small-town Oklahoma, inspiring kids like Kade that one day they could be just like him.

Miles Reynolds returns to Chicago home where he’s well-knownBy Joe Mussatto | OklahomanDecember 21, 2018

Oklahoma basketball hasn’t played in the Chicago area since 1947.

“I find it kind of ironic,” Sooner guard Miles Reynolds said.

The irony is that Reynolds will start for the away team Friday night in a place he couldn’t feel more at home. He expects 50-60 family members and friends to be at Welsh-Ryan Arena when Northwestern hosts Oklahoma at 8 p.m.

His dad, Jim Reynolds, said there’s “another couple hundred” still trying to get tickets. By Thursday night, Northwestern announced there were fewer than 100 tickets left at the 7,000-seat arena.

“And they don’t normally sell out,” Jim Reynolds said. “A lot of it is due to Miles.”

It might sound like an exaggeration, but the Reynolds family is well-known in the Windy City.

“I’m truly shocked at the number of CEOs of major global companies in Chicago that follow Miles on Twitter,” Jim Reynolds said. “You’d be amazed.”

Jim Reynolds is chairman and CEO of Loop Capital, an investment bank based in Chicago. He and his wife, Sandy, both received MBAs from Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management, though he said they’re Sooners now.

Miles grew up in the Kenwood neighborhood of Chicago, a three-minute walk from where Barack Obama’s family used to live. The Reynoldses have long been been key fundraisers, as well as close friends, to the Obamas.

“I’ve known 44 my whole life,” Miles Reynolds said casually. “When people see pictures of us together, they always ask how that relationship came to be. President Obama, he’s basically an uncle to me.”

Obama isn’t the only famous Chicagoan who’s appeared on Miles’ Instagram. He considers Chance the Rapper, who graduated high school with his older sister, as a big brother. Reynolds is trying to arrange for Chance to be at the game Friday night.

As a South Sider, Reynolds is a big-time Chicago White Sox fan. He was at Game 2 of the 2005 World Series and regularly attended Bears, Bulls and Blackhawks games.

Anything but the Cubs.

Miles said he loves living in Oklahoma, but he misses Chicago food: Harold’s Chicken Shack, Portillo’s, Home of the Hoagy and Chicago Cut Steakhouse to name a few.

Reynolds attended Whitney Young High School in Chicago where he shared the court with Jahlil Okafor, his best friend who would become the third overall pick in the 2015 draft.

They separated after high school as Okafor went to Duke and Reynolds went to Saint Louis University. For Reynolds, it was the beginning of a college hoops odyssey. He transferred from SLU due to a coaching change after his sophomore season. He then landed at Pacific, coached by longtime NBA player Damon Stoudamire.

After last season at Pacific, Reynolds knew he had one final shot to play in the NCAA Tournament. He opened his recruitment once again as a graduate transfer.

“You have to do everything you can in one year,” Jim Reynolds told his son. “There’s no do-over. When I see him play now, and when I see the effort he’s putting up, he’s approaching it like that.”

Oklahoma assistant coach Carlin Hartman flew west as soon as he heard Reynolds was on the transfer market. Hartman recruited Reynolds out of high school when he was an assistant at Columbia.

“You go through the list and identify who might fit what our needs are,” Lon Kruger said of the transfer market. “Miles was on there.”

Reynolds, a recent addition to OU’s starting lineup, has averaged 15 points per game on 49 percent shooting in his last six games. The Sooners are 10-1, building a resume toward the Big Dance appearance that brought Reynolds to Norman.

Most of Reynolds’ offensive work is done in drives to the rim and drawing fouls in bunches, but it’s his defensive acumen that has benefited OU most.

Oklahoma ranks 10th nationally in adjusted defensive efficiency, according to KenPom, compared to 85th a year ago.

“It’s not that they were bad defensive players,” Miles Reynolds said, “it’s just that they didn’t have that one guy to really put them in that defensive mindset.”

Reynolds has been that guy, looking more the part of a career Sooner than that of a first-year grad transfer.

“I got a lot of heart playing out there on the floor,” he said. “Nothing’s gonna come easy against me. I think that’s just a Chicago thing.”

For Caleb Freeman, Oklahoma’s win over Creighton was bigger than basketballBy George Stoia | OU DailyDecember 18, 2018

After every home game, each Oklahoma basketball player goes around the court to thank fans for coming. But Tuesday, instead of going to the locker room after thanking fans, each player stopped to shake one person’s hand outside the tunnel.

Seventeen-year-old Caleb Freeman.

The Sooners’ 83-70 win over Creighton Tuesday night was bigger than basketball for Caleb. It was a night he’ll never forget, a night that wasn’t considered possible a year ago.

On Dec. 19, 2017, Caleb and his younger brother Clayton were on their way from Newcastle to watch Oklahoma take on Northwestern State in Norman. Caleb’s car hydroplaned on Highway 9 and a semi-truck t-boned his car, leaving his brother with a mild concussion and him with a traumatic brain injury.

Caleb was in a coma for eight weeks. He wasn’t expected to live.

But Tuesday night, one day shy of the one year anniversary of the accident, Caleb made it to the LNC to watch his favorite team play.

“It’s really been a miracle,” said Caleb’s father, Jeremy. “We are so grateful for coach Lon (Kruger) because he’s made us feel like a part of the team.”

Kruger invited Caleb and his family to practice a couple weeks ago, offering them tickets to the Creighton game. Former OU star Trae Young, now with the Atlanta Hawks, has been following Caleb’s story since that night and gave him tickets to his game against the Thunder on Nov. 30. He also sent him his game-worn shoes from Sooners’ game against Northwestern, the game after the accident.

“It’s pretty cool to see how he’s progressed over the last year,” sophomore Brady Manek said. “All that’s going on with his life, that’s pretty cool (to see him).”

Caleb has become a part of the Sooner basketball family. And that was evident after Tuesday night’s game as Jamuni McNeace gave Caleb his shooting sleeve and each player shared a word of encouragement with him.

“That meant so much to me,” Caleb said, who now struggles to speak. “I sometimes feel like people don’t want to talk to me because of my speech. But it meant a lot of for them to come up and talk to me. I look at them as my bros now.”

The team invited Caleb and his family into the locker room after the game. Following that, he was invited to the back practice gym where he hung out with the players and Athletics Director Joe Castiglione.

“Sometimes I don’t like when a lot of people come up to me and talk to me,” Caleb said with a grin. “But it does make me feel like a celebrity.”

Castiglione talked with Caleb for awhile. Caleb showed off his battle scars — a reconstructed left ear and a large scar that stretched across his stomach. Through it all Caleb’s smile remained. He was thankful for a night that he, and many others, consider a miracle.

“You’re tough kid,” Castiglione said, “a tough kid.”

Wichita State transfer Austin Reaves has found new start at OklahomaBy Joe Mussatto | OklahomanDecember 18, 2018

Austin Reaves loathes the nickname, but that didn’t stop Christian James from chanting it incessantly as the two players walked off OU’s practice floor Thursday.

“Showtime, Showtime, Showtime,” James kept on, before slightly exaggerating that Reaves scored 60 points in the late afternoon practice.

There was no chance Reaves, a transfer guard, was going to shush James, OU’s senior scoring leader. All Reaves could do was smile and endure the rite of passage as a first-year Sooner.

The practice gym is the only place to watch Reaves play in an Oklahoma uniform. He’s one of the most overqualified scout team players in the country.

Reaves has to sit out this season after transferring from Wichita State — the team his new squad faces at 11 a.m. Saturday at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City.

“Yeah, it’s gonna be awkward,” Reaves admitted.

The Newark, Arkansas, native transferred in May after playing in 66 games spanning two seasons for the Shockers. His transfer didn’t result from a lack of success or playing time. Reaves was a regular for Wichita State, averaging eight points in 21.5 minutes per game as a sophomore.

Reaves shot 43 percent from 3-point range last season and set a school record by making seven consecutive threes against Tulsa last January.

So why did he transfer?

“That’s a hard question,” Reaves told The Oklahoman, choosing his words carefully. “I just didn’t feel like I was able to play my game there at Wichita. I just felt like it was time to move on.”

Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall and Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger are known to have vastly different personalities. Marshall is fierce while Kruger is universally liked, though Reaves didn’t blame his former coach for his departure.

“They’re both as successful as any coach in the nation,” Reaves said. “Whatever they do works. There’s a big difference in the style, but I’m happy I got to play for both.”

Reaves said Wichita State’s roster turnover was the main reason he transferred. One of his roommates, Landry Shamet, turned pro. The other, Brett Barney, transferred to Omaha.

The teammates he came to college with were largely absent, and without those connections came the need for a new start.

Reaves’ phone woke him up one morning shortly after his decision to transfer. He hadn’t publicly announced the move, but the news had leaked.

“I thought it was my mom, so I rolled over and answered the phone,” Reaves said.

The voice belonged to Michigan coach John Beilein, who heard Reaves was on the market.

Reaves went through recruitment all over again, taking visits to Purdue and Northern Iowa before committing to Oklahoma.

Norman is six hours from his Arkansas home, and he was familiar with Kruger and the Sooners having played them in his freshman and sophomore seasons at Wichita State.

“I knew the style would really fit the way I played,” said Reaves, who makes it known he’s more than a spot-up shooter.

That was just the role required of him on back-to-back NCAA Tournament teams. Reaves shows off his full game on the Lloyd Noble Center practice court, against James and the other Sooner starters — a group he might be a part of if eligible.

“He’s tougher to guard than the guards we’re lining up against,” James said. “He’s really helped us on the defensive end.”

After all, Showtime is a nickname that comes with expectations.

“He don’t like it, but that’s the name I gave to him. Kobe in the flesh, man,” James said with a smile. “No, he’s really tough though. He has a complete game offensively.”

Saturday, Reaves will sit near the end of OU’s bench at Chesapeake Energy Arena — reminding Wichita State fans of what they’re missing, and Oklahoma fans of what’s to come.

Jamal Bieniemy looks like gem for Sooners, who almost missed recruiting himBy Joe Mussatto | OklahomanNovember 21, 2018

The play happened fast, but that’s the nature of Jamal Bieniemy.

The OU freshman guard, in his second college game, Euro-stepped into the lane and missed a layup.

UTSA forward Adrian Rodriguez grabbed the rebound, but his next move didn’t come quick enough. Bieniemy lunged from behind the basket, ripped the ball from Rodriguez, spun, and banked in a layup.

It was one of five steals for Bieniemy as he tied the single-game record for most steals by an OU freshman in the Big 12 era.

Bieniemy is averaging 15 minutes per game off the bench and has already emerged as one of Oklahoma’s top perimeter defenders. Coach Lon Kruger has called on him to close out games because he can guard multiple positions.

“That’s probably the thing that jumps from his high school career more than anything else,” Kruger said.

There was no shame in Rodriguez not being familiar with Bieniemy’s antics or his often-flailing 6-foot-4 frame. Troy Bieniemy, Jamal’s dad, witnessed plenty of high schoolers make similar mistakes.

Jamal Bieniemy set school records in points, assists and steals at Tompkins High School in Katy, Texas.

“I guess I got the most satisfaction when he played teams outside his district,” Troy Bieniemy said. “Those casual passes from wing to wing? It’s not gonna happen.

“You’d see that long arm like Spider-Man or Plastic Man stretch out and swipe it away.”

Bieniemy, the nephew of former NFL running back Eric Bieniemy, is the lone freshman on OU’s roster. He wears the same No. 24 as Buddy Hield.

Nerf basketball hoops were spread about the Bieniemys’ house as Jamal grew up.

“He would actually sleep with a basketball,” Troy Bieniemy said. “It bit him. He’ll probably end up being like Coach Kruger for sure — a basketball lifer.”

Jamal Bieniemy, a top-150 prospect coming out of high school, is at Oklahoma because of an unofficial visit he took to Oklahoma State in his junior year.

OU assistant Carlin Hartman recruited Bieniemy when he was on staff at Rice, but the Bieniemys were unsure what OU thought of Jamal. In a twist of fate, OSU was hosting OU the day Jamal and his family took their unofficial visit.

“Carlin does a double take, like ‘You can’t come see us but you can come see them?’ He didn’t say it, but his eyes said it,” Troy Bieniemy said.

Laurie Bieniemy’s eyes weren’t on the game. Jamal’s mom was distracted by Kruger, and specifically, how his demeanor contrasted that of then-Cowboys coach Brad Underwood.

“Brad had a scowl on his face,” Troy Bieniemy said. “He’s intense. Not that coach Kruger isn’t intense, but he just has a way of communicating with players. (Laurie) was like, ‘Look at how calm he is. I would be pulling my hair out.’”

Kruger later visited Jamal, and that was the end of his recruitment. His dad urged him to still visit schools such as UCLA, Cal and Michigan, but Jamal’s decision was set.

On a trip to Norman, less than three months after he visited Stillwater, Jamal stood at midcourt of Lloyd Noble Center.

“That’s it,” he said. “I know where I’m going.”

The Newest Branches on the Kruger Coaching TreeBy John Rohde | SoonerSports.comNovember 6, 2018

Imagine the awkwardness of trying to win a game in a no-win situation. That’s how the 2018-19 season will commence for Oklahoma men’s basketball coach Lon Kruger.

For the first time since 1938, the Sooners will open the season with two true road games outside state lines. Eighty years ago, OU played its first two games under Hall of Fame coach Bruce Drake with back-to-back contests at Colorado.

This season’s out-of-state openers will be played at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley in Edinburg on Friday at 7:30 p.m., followed by a contest at the University of Texas at San Antonio on Monday at 7 p.m.

Not coincidentally, UTRGV and UTSA are coached by former longtime Kruger assistants Lew Hill and Steve Henson, respectively. In fact, their hirings two seasons ago directly led to this scenario.

Kruger is no stranger to the process.

“Generally, when they (assistant coaches) are applying for jobs, the ADs (athletic directors) will typically ask, ‘Hey, if we hire your guy, will you come play us?’ And I say, ‘Of course.’ We’re trying to help them get a job,” Kruger explained. “It’s kind of a given part of it. We understand that and we’re delighted to be doing it for them (Hill and Henson).”

Kruger’s graciousness aside, this puts him in a no-win situation. He either beats two of his former assistants, or worse yet, he doesn’t.

“You’ve got two games that you’ve got to try to win. Otherwise, it’s a bad deal,” Kruger said, forcing a chuckle. “You’ve got to figure out a way to win.”

Henson played for Kruger at Kansas State (1986-90) then later served as his assistant at Illinois (1999-2000), the NBA Atlanta Hawks (2001-03), UNLV (2004-11) and OU (2011-16).

Hill was a Kruger assistant at UNLV (2004-11) and OU (2011-16).

Henson and Hill are two branches of Kruger’s ever-growing coaching tree that includes notables such as San Antonio Spurs general manager and two-time NBA Executive of the Year R.C. Buford (who served as an assistant under Kruger at Florida in 1993-94).

Other branches represent NBA Portland Trail Blazers head coach and former OU forward Terry Stotts (Hawks 2002-03), Oregon head coach Dana Altman (Kansas State 1986-89), SMU head coach Tim Jankovich (Texas-Pan American 1983-84; KSU 1984-86), Nevada head coach Eric Musselman (Hawks 2000-02), UNLV head coach Marvin Menzies (UNLV 2004-05), Florida A&M head coach Robert McCollum (KSU, Florida and Illinois) and Southern Utah head coach Todd Simon (UNLV 2004-06).

“We’ve had a bunch of guys doing well,” Kruger modestly acknowledged. “That’s great to see.”

Kruger tried to explain the difficulty in coaching against former assistants.

“In this case, we’ve been together so long and know their families so well,” Kruger said of Henson and Hill. “It’s good to see them, good to spend some time with them, but when the game starts, it’s certainly a bittersweet ending. You want to win and if you do, you still feel a little bit bad for the guy on the other end. So that makes it a little bit awkward.”

The arrangements to face UTRGV and UTSA are both 2-for-1 deals, with two games to be played at Lloyd Noble Center and one on the road. UTSA lost 97-85 to the Sooners in Norman last season.

Friday’s game will be a homecoming for Kruger. UTRGV (which merged campuses and created its name change in 2015) previously went by the name Texas-Pan American, which is where Kruger got his first head-coaching job.

Kruger remembers well the difficulty in trying to piece together a non-conference home schedule for the Pan American program that had finished 5-20 the season prior to his arrival. Kruger’s 20-8 (.714) record in 1985-86 remains the program’s highest winning percentage for any season since. After four seasons, Kruger left to become head coach at his alma mater of Kansas State.

Friday’s visit will give UTRGV an opportunity to induct Kruger into its Athletic Hall of Fame and Hall of Honor, an event Kruger modestly described as “a nice gesture on their part.”

Henson and Hill freely admit to “borrowing” much of what they learned through the years under Kruger’s guidance.

“There’s no question,” Henson said. “(I borrow) what I learned as a player and every day with him. Not just the X’s and O’s and the basketball part, but watching coach on a daily basis, how he treated people, how he always has the big picture in mind, how he always tries to do the right thing, plus the X’s and O’s. So much of what we do is going to be similar.”

Hill deadpanned, “Well, the first year here I thought I was coach Kruger. I thought, ‘My gosh, I’m like coach Kruger,’ but that’s a good thing. Now, I just be me. The first year, I was a lot of coach Kruger and I still do those things, but now I’m comfortable with being me.”

As is often the case when longtime assistants get their first head-coaching jobs, both Hill and Henson inherited struggling programs.

“They both were put into situations where the programs were down,” Kruger said. “Certainly it takes time to build them back and they’ve both done a terrific job. Both of their teams are much improved, so it’s going to be a challenge.”

The season prior to Hill’s arrival, UTRGV finished 8-22 overall and 4-10 in Western Athletic Conference play. Hill won 10 games his first season and 15 games last year, which is on pace for his goal of improving at least five victories every season.

“That’s the way you’ve got to go, just grow,” Hill said. “I love where I am. I know this is my best team so far.”

Meanwhile, Henson has transformed UTSA after taking over a 5-27 program that had placed last in Conference USA. After finishing 14-19 his first season, Henson led the Roadrunners to a 20-15 record and a fifth-place conference finish in 2017-18, which earned him C-USA Coach of the Year honors.

“Pace of play that first year wasn’t near what we wanted based on our personnel, but we started establishing some things -- toughness on defense, rebounding, taking care of the basketball,” Henson said. “Last year, we brought in some guys that allowed us to score and shoot the 3.”

Henson knows how rare it is for a major Division I team to hit the road against a smaller program. “The last stat I saw, major Division I programs play 89 percent of their games at home,” Henson said. “For him (Kruger) to do this tells you what coach is all about.”

Kruger still has same passion and competitive drive entering 33rd season as college coachBy John McKelvey | Norman TranscriptOctober 14, 2018

During an afternoon practice in early October, coach Lon Kruger hustled his Oklahoma Sooners to the end line.

He wanted them give him more. Effort, intensity, whatever the word is, he urged it out of them with the Nov. 9 opener more than a month away. Entering his 33rd season coaching college basketball, he showed the same passion of the 36-year-old that took Kansas State to the Elite Eight in 1987-88.

“You gain experience every year, then you’re in a different spot for sure,” Kruger said. “But that doesn’t change what our goals are. In a way we kind of do the same thing every year, but in another way, it’s all new every year. It’s new for the specific team you have at that moment. We’re motivated because we want each team to experience the best they possibly can.”

Perhaps no other coach knows that better than the native of Silver Lake, Kansas. He was the first college coach to lead five Division I programs to the NCAA Tournament. He’s succeeded in both Sin City and the Bible Belt, even dipping his toes into the professional waters by leading the Atlanta Hawks for one season. He’s taken two starkly different basketball teams to the Final Four, Florida in 1993-94 and OU in 2015-16, and survived the lows, losing 21 games in his first season as a head coach at UT-Pan American and setting an OU record with 20 losses in 2016-17.

Those close to him say he hasn’t changed. He still reminds his players not to forget about “academics” and never, ever, swears.

“When I first got here, they told me he didn’t cuss,” senior guard Christian James said. “I didn’t believe it, but it’s true. He doesn’t cuss. He’s a man of his word. He’s been the same guy all four years, gave me a chance to play, gave others a chance to play and showcase their talent. He always gives you a fair chance.”

But to see inside the head of a man who holds every practice open to the public ironically isn’t easy, if only because he declines to talk about himself.

His quote upon receiving the 2018 John R. Wooden Legends of Coaching Award last week started with the first-person plural, “we,” just to make sure that those “good players and good people” around him were recognized as he was.

It sounds corny, but after endless examples of him doing so — whether it was offering to pay the Hawks fans back for not making the playoffs, or the endless amount of handshakes with the folks in Manhattan before games — it’s hard to believe it’s all an act.

Graduate transfer guard Miles Reynolds, from Pacific, put it simply, “If you ask anybody in Norman about coach Kruger they’re going to say nothing but nice things about his character,” almost as if that was a mini scavenger hunt during his recruitment.

“And from a basketball standpoint, you’re going to struggle to find other coaches that have more knowledge,” Reynolds added.

Kruger might need all of it this season.

The Sooners lose point guard Trae Young, who became the first player to lead Division I in scoring and assists last season as a freshman, along with several other key contributors, including the program’s all-time blocks leader Khadeem Lattin and starting guard Kameron McGusty.

With the addition of Reynolds and Maine graduate transfer Aaron Calixte, they might have more experience, but they don’t have much of it together. Even for the veterans, four returning seniors, this will be a very different offense than the one they ran last season, which had the highest tempo among power-five conference teams according to statistician Ken Pomeroy.

But with Kruger, the measurement of success stops short of any fancy stats, and that was perhaps the best insight, his son, assistant coach Kevin Kruger, could provide about his father.

“There are little cliches that he uses, but he hates how they are cliches because they are true,” Kevin said. “You treat people how they want to be treated and you care for these guys like they are your son, or what have you, is how he tries to do things, and he’s done that wherever he’s been.”

His father still has aspirations, winning a national title, taking this group to the NCAA tournament and perhaps even more simpler, giving them and the Sooner faithful a good experience. At 66 years old, the former Kansas State point guard once nicknamed “Slick” doesn’t seem to be slowing down.

“He’s still as competitive, and he’ll always be that way,” Kevin said. “I just assume that when he’s done, we’ll know. But I don’t think it’s something he’s going to toy with off and on. If he ever feels like not doing it, I think he’ll not do it.”

Griffin Family Performance Center gives OU basketball new edgeBy Joe Mussatto | OklahomanAugust 25, 2018

It’s formally the Griffin Family Performance Center, but to OU basketball players, it’s just “The Griff.”

The $7 million facility opened in June, but Saturday — officially proclaimed Blake Griffin Day by the city of Norman — OU’s newest athletics facility was dedicated. Griffin, his brother Taylor and his parents along with university president Jim Gallogly and athletic director Joe Castiglione, all with scissors in hand, took a snip at the crimson ribbon to officially open the center.

“Family” was a necessary inclusion in the name.

“There was a rendering early on that was the Blake Griffin Performance Center and I hated it,” Griffin said. “It made me feel weird just because my whole life, my brother and I have been supported by my parents. They are the ones driving us to practice, working two jobs to make sure we had the things we needed — shoes, uniforms, all that. This whole thing, again, has been a group effort.”

Griffin’s financial gift was the largest ever by a former OU basketball player. The five-time All-Star, traded from the Los Angeles Clippers to the Detroit Pistons last season, said the new training facility offers OU’s women’s and men’s basketball players luxuries he isn’t used to even at the professional level.

“There’s stuff in here that I’ve never used and I’ve never had in my whole NBA career,” he said. “That’s pretty special. When I talk about giving people the tools, that’s sometimes all you need. There’s no secret formula. There’s no secret workout or training or whatever it is. But when you give kids the opportunity to use the best of the best, that’s all they can ask for.”

Players access the Griffin Family Performance Center through a tunnel and staircase from the Lloyd Noble Center practice gyms. Former stars of both the men’s and women’s programs line the tunnel, and at the top of the stairs is a mural of the Griffin brothers.

The 18,000-square foot training center includes five primary weight racks, where a camera system with video playback is mounted to each. Every player has an individual training and nutrition plan. There’s a Gatorade bar to refuel after workouts and an exam room equipped with a DEXA scanner — a piece of equipment that measures the breakdown of bone, fat tissue and muscle mass. The scanner is one aspect of OU’s facility that separates it from what most programs have, director of strength and performance Bryce Daub said.

There are force plates located on two mini practice courts that measure how the ground reacts to a jump. The plates then spit out data on the individual athletes.

“I understand what they’re intended to be used for, but what I’m trying to do is to channel that incredible power that Blake Griffin has in his legs through that force plate into all of our student-athletes,” Castiglione said with a laugh.

The dedication of the Griffin Family Performance Center was followed Saturday afternoon by OU’s annual alumni game. Recent stars Buddy Hield and Trae Young sat courtside as spectators. Both Hield and Young have lockers, as do the Griffin brothers, in the new training facility.

Griffin and his Pistons are scheduled to practice in Norman and use the facility before they face the Oklahoma City Thunder in an Oct. 3 preseason game.

The influence the facility could have on recruiting has already been seen.

“The eyes are wide as saucers,” Castiglione said. “The mouth is agape, the wows, the can’t believe it, blown away, incredible. They immediately start imagining what they could do with this type of training center.”

Griffin went from the No. 1 high school prospect in Oklahoma in the 2007 class to the No. 1 pick in the 2009 NBA Draft. During his recruitment, the thing he looked forward to most was a key card that would give him 24/7 access to the practice gym.

Oklahoma’s facilities have evolved just a bit since then.

“I hope guys come through this facility and they can imagine themselves working out here,” Griffin said. “We’ve tried to give them every tool possible.”
