Grant Sherfield scored a season-high 30 points, and the Sooners beat No. 2 Alabama 93-69 on Saturday. At the end of the game, the fans at Lloyd Noble stormed the court.
It was the kind of moment second-year Oklahoma coach Porter Moser envisioned when he left Loyola of Chicago to take over the Sooners.
“I thought the crowd was unbelievable,” he said. “I sat there when the crowd rushed the floor — you know, my younger self might have run out in the middle of it — and I just sat there and just said, ‘This is a vision.’ And like, this kind of excitement with the student body — I thought they were awesome. They were there early. Best crowd I’ve had since I’ve been here.”
The Sooners’ Jalen Hill added a career-high 26 points on 9-for-11 shooting and grabbed eight rebounds.
Coming into the game, the Sooners (12-9) had lost three straight, while the Crimson Tide (18-3) had won nine in a row.
