All-Star Moser Takes Oklahoma by Storm in Thrilling Showdown
Oklahoma coach Porter Moser's team has gotten him off the bubble. The team itself is still on the bubble to make the NCAA Tournament, but its late run helped new athletic director Roger Denny decide to keep Moser for another year. Oklahoma lost nine games in a row during conference play, leading to questions about Moser’s future.
Oklahoma coach Porter Moser's team has gotten him off the bubble. The team itself is still on the bubble to make the NCAA Tournament , but its late run helped new athletic director Roger Denny decide to keep Moser for another year. Oklahoma lost nine games in a row during conference play, leading to questions about Moser’s future.
The Sooners responded by winning eight of their last 11 games to give themselves a chance at a spot in March Madness. Denny said Saturday on social media that the school had failed to give Moser the resources to compete in this new era of college sports but that he is committed to doing so going forward. “An underdog spirit will only take us so far," Denny said.
"It's my job to ensure that our resources match our expectations. We haven't held up our end of that bargain. From NIL and staffing and beyond, we're going to fix that.
” Denny's statement came a day after the 11th seeded Sooners pushed No. 3 seed Arkansas before losing 82-79 in the Southeastern Conference Tournament quarterfinals. The Sooners opened the tournament with wins over South Carolina and Texas A&M.
