If this is it for the Oklahoma-Oklahoma State men’s basketball rivalry, it’s hard to think of a more perfect way to say goodbye than what unfolded Saturday.
The Sooners and Cowboys battled for 44 minutes, with Oklahoma State holding the upper hand 82-81 as 12.5 seconds showed on the clock. Boxed into an awkward three-pointer at the buzzer, Oklahoma guard Javian McCollum put up a prayer—and made it to a secure an 84-82 victory.
After the game, Jacob Unruh of The Oklahoman posted a terrific wide shot of the final sequence. Watch as Gallagher-Iba Arena falls silent and the Sooners stream off the sidelines to mob McCollum.
