On Wednesday night, the Sooners secured an 81-75 win over Georgia, advancing to the second round of the SEC Tournament where they faced Kentucky just 24 hours later.
With their NCAA Tournament hopes already solidified, Oklahoma continued its revenge tour, this time against a Wildcats team that edged them out by one point in Norman back in February in a game that ended in heated fashion.
Though technically a neutral site, Big Blue Nation turned the arena into a road environment for the Sooners, and Kentucky fed off the energy early, jumping out to an 8-0 run in the first two minutes.
Sheldon Day made quite an impression on the Washington Commanders when he was added to the practice squad last summer. Once Washington lost Jonathan Allen to a torn pec in Week 6, the Commanders promoted Day to the 53-man roster, where he remained for the duration of the season, even when Allen returned.
On Thursday, the Commanders agreed to a one-year deal for Day to return in 2025. Day, 30, enters his 10th NFL season in 2025. He recorded 24 tackles, including two for loss. While undersized (6-foot-1, 285) for the interior, Washington coaches loved Day’s effort and leadership.
