Oklahoma Loses It's Basketball Entirely

After losing the flavor of playoff basketball with the departure of the once homeless Hornets and after being abruptly eliminated from the NCAA March Madness Brackets much to the surprise of the Oklahoma faithful, Oklahoma returns to JUST being football country again.

Oklahoma was Sooner country, Sooner being their college football team, when the Hornets came into town led by rookie sensation Chris Paul.

CP3 immediately stirred quite a cult following in Oklahoma as he piloted the once lottery-bound Hornets to a playoff contender.

The Hornets eventually returned to New Orleans, leaving Oklahoma with just one more shot of basketball glory.

The NCAA March Madness tournament.

The Sooners were the no.6 ranked team coming into their game against the no.11 ranked Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panthers. Who knew that the Panthers will take away their only remaining basketball glory?

Boo Davis scored 26 points and Joah Tucker had 24 for Milwaukee (22-8), which blew a 10-point lead only to rebuild it to double-digits again and hold off the favored Sooners to advance to a second-round matchup against No. 3 seed Florida.

''That's where experience comes in,'' said Tucker, one of five fifth-year seniors who start for Milwaukee.

''You know there's going to be runs in the game. You've got to find a way to stop the runs. We had to find ways to get baskets and get to the free-throw line. But the most important thing is that we stayed poised.''
