Big 12 baseball: OU rolls past Texas Tech 8-0
Oklahoma entered the Big 12 Tournament with plenty of uncertainty.
The Sooners were uncertain about their postseason fate, having faltered down the stretch.
OU was also uncertain about its two pitching stars, as both Jonathan Gray and Dillon Overton had battled through problems of late.
Through two games, though, those questions have melted away.
Friday, it was Overton and the bullpen helping to solidify things for the Sooners, leading to an 8-0 win over Texas Tech at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.
The Sooners will play Kansas State at 12:30 p.m. Saturday in a game that figures to be for an appearance in Sunday's title game.
Joe Biden calls Kevin Durant to thank him for tornado relief efforts
Kevin Durant's generous contributions to tornado relief in Oklahoma haven't gone unnoticed.

Vice President Joe Biden reportedly called the Oklahoma City star this week to thank Durant for his $1 million donation and other relief efforts. "You're not only a great athlete, you're a great humanitarian. On behalf of all of us, thank you for your generosity," Biden wrote to Durant on Twitter.

In his absence, Westbrook's value becomes obvious
As Russell Westbrook continued to elevate himself at the league's most competitive position, perhaps never before had his talent been more appreciated than when he wasn't playing. Though Westbrook's worth was acknowledged before the injury, it perhaps was undervalued given OKC's 3-6 record after his departure.

Sam Presti talks community involvement
For the Friday Oklahoman, Berry Tramel wrote about Sam Presti and the Thunder’s connection with the city and the state, after the Thunder’s tour of the tornado-ravaged areas. But Presti had a lot of extra stuff to say about the spirit of his adopted state.

MIAMI (AP) — David West was more than a little disappointed when the Indiana Pacers failed to make a defensive play at the end to win Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals. So in Game 2, he made those plays himself. Twice, in fact. And he victimized the game's best player to make them happen. LeBron James... Read More
