Super Bowl: Big Ben has eyes on Norman

Ben Roethlisberger has more on his mind than the Super Bowl against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Big Ben is thinking about the Oklahoma-Iowa State women’s basketball game Saturday at Lloyd Noble Center.

“Bigger than the Super Bowl,” Roethlisberger said of Carlee Roethlisberger’s game against Iowa State. “Saturday, my sister’s got a home game up in Norman, Oklahoma. I’m trying to go to it. I don’t think it’s going to happen.

“That’s a big game. I’m rooting for her. Hope she does good.”

The Sooners play at Baylor on Wednesday night in Waco, Texas, which is 100 miles closer to Arlington. But it’s doubtful Big Ben makes it to Waco, either.

Ben Roethlisberger has attended some of Carlee’s OU games over the years, including the 2009 Final Four in St. Louis.
