Oklahoma took care of business and held on late to defeat VCU 85-81 in Sunday’s Round of 32 matchup.
Buddy Hield was a big reason why, as he dropped 29 points in the second half alone and was the ultimate closer in the game’s final minutes. His NBA draft stock is now soaring and he looks poised to be a top-six pick.
That’s why the Sooners waited for Hield to enter the locker room before celebrating. Then they got down. Here’s what it looked like.
