It was a wonderful day to be a Sooner fan on Saturday. In addition to the displays put forth on the diamond by OU Baseball and Softball, the teams that call the hardwood home provided some memorable performances in Bedlam.
The OU Men’s team won in dramatic fashion on Javian McCollum’s buzzer-beating three-pointer in overtime. OU Women’s Bedlam win was a little less dramatic as Jennie Baranczyk and the Sooners cruised to a 35-point win in Norman.
Porter Moser hadn’t beaten Oklahoma State prior to this year and now he’s earned a sweep. Baranczyk, on the other hand, is 6-0 against the Cowgirls, who can’t wait for the OU Women’s team to be in the SEC and not a thorn in their side.
Freshman Sahara Williams had a career-high 20 points to lead the Sooners, while Lexi Keys became a part of NCAA history with her 1,000th career point.
Javian McCollum cemented his legacy with the buzzer-beater to win the game. It was a huge win that likely helped solidify Oklahoma’s spot in the NCAA tournament.
Here’s a look at some of the best reactions on social media from both the men’s and women’s outcomes.

It was huge, that’s for sure
Given the moment and the opponent, is that OU’s best win of the season? Maybe not. But that sure was the most fun.

OU women’s hoops destroyed the Pokes, and the men’s team yanked the rug out from under them. Good day
