Je’lon Hornbeak stood at the free throw line, bounced the ball twice, held it in his hands and looked at the rim.
Surrounding him was utter chaos.
Have you ever thought it might be hard for a college basketball player to concentrate on his free throw when the students behind the basket were waving big heads or jumping up randomly like popping popcorn?
None of that compared to what was going on after Oklahoma’s practice on Friday.
A week and a half after losing freshman Buddy Hield, the strongest energy of the team, there was a returned energy to the team — and Hield wasn’t even in the gym.
As his teammates laughed and shouted, they shot at, ran around and dunked on the rim Hornbeak was using to practice his free throws. It isn’t uncommon for the guys to share a rim, though.
