Can Sooners advance to the Final Four? Buddy Hield and outside shooting key

Listen here Oklahoma Sooner basketball fans (Men).  Don’t get your hopes up to high for the Big Red to sweep down from the plains to win the Tournament this year as consistent play by the team has not been the name of the game in Norman.  A senior laden group has to go through six capable teams for OU to take the National Championship and that would mean the Sooners cannot have one off game where they don’t hit the three consistently or run into another long stretch of not scoring the basketball. Plus, the dependent long range shooting Sooners must have their star, Buddy Hield put together a string of dominate games, or the Sooners will suffer another defeat like the one to West Virginia in the Big 12 Conference semi-finals. Look for OU to take the two games in Oklahoma City, but neither will be easy.  The upset monkey is lurking in the confines of the big arena on Reno Street.  Look for Oklahoma and Texas A&M to leave OKC for the next round but nothing is guaranteed.

Oklahoma should survive to the 1st week of the tournament, but any further advancement is on the backs of OU’s three point shooting and big games from Buddy Hield.  Look for OU to bow out in the round of the Great Eight.
