Because those "OU fans" will never support men's basketball. What would you think as a recruit coming to see OU with 7 thousand people in the LNC? What if you're a recruit who sees those comments or similar that OU basketball doesn't matter to the fans? How many OU fans know just how good OU basketball has been the past three decades?
Those comments are examples of the larger problem here. Fans expect OU basketball to beat Texas and KU, and thus, go to the NCAA tournament, every single year. How are we supposed to do that consistently when we can't get the recruits that Texas and KU get? How are we supposed to get the recruits that KU gets when we don't have fan support?
Please let's not blame this fallout of OU basketball on it's fan base!!Every D1 school has fans that are idiotic ,but the vast majority of fans are great!!Go Sooners!!!!!!
