“I know it’s a football school, but we’re trying to turn it back into a basketball school as well,” Hield said. “And it’s working. Each year the number of fans coming to games has increased. Once you win, people will come see you. If you lose, no one will come, so I feel we have a chance to turn the culture around.”

Especially if the Sooners keep playing defense like they did in the second half against Dayton, which went a stretch of nearly 11 minutes without scoring a basket.

“Defense wins championships, right?” Hield said with a wink.

Love it.

Great read, thanks. Good to see the columnist put us in the same boat as tOSU, they are so much bigger and it seems like they have better basketball support.

Wait a minute. Doesn't that title imply that we win in football? I guess the writer didn't watch the 2014 Sooners too closely.

It's nice when our worst season ever (according to some fans) ends with a 8-5record. I'll take that anyday! Name me ONE top 20 program out there who hasn't had a .500 or worse record in the past 15 years??? We are all spoiled and some of you don't even know it.

I hate that talk. OU is a football, basketball, mens and women's gymnastics, women's basketball, tennis, wrestling and baseball school. and maybe something else that i don't follow, like hockey where they won some lower division NC. Also a engineering school, meteorology school, etc.
