The Oklahoma men’s basketball team wasn’t letting the second-best team in the country off easy.
The Sooners were proving themselves more than worthy of playing with No. 2 Alabama, as they held a commanding lead over the Crimson Tide during the second half of Saturday’s home contest.
While up 62-46 with 14 minutes and change to go, junior forward Jalen Hill took in a lob as he ran to get under the rim and blasted in a supersonic dunk that reverberated throughout Lloyd Noble Center.
It just so happened that Alabama’s star freshman forward Brandon Miller was on the receiving end of Hill’s poster.
JALEN. HILL!

Miller is widely expected to be a top pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, and he doesn’t find himself on the end of a stellar play like that much.
Hill, on the other hand, is undoubtedly going to treasure making such a splash play against such an elite NBA prospect. It’s the kind of firework that has helped Oklahoma play as well as it has against one of the best basketball teams in the nation.
