The Skinny on Sports

Passing the Torch?

Kyler Murray to the Vikings. Who actually came out happier after the Maxx Crosby deal drama fell apart? And what’s the story behind the Big 12 pulling the plug on the LED court idea? We also get into some golf talk. Does The Players Championship deserve to be called the fifth major? In the NBA, SGA keeps rewriting the record books, breaking a mark held by Wilt and hitting yet another clutch shot to take down Boston. We talk about the constant complaining about OKC fouls, and ask the big question. How comfortable should Thunder fans be with that #1 seed? Plus we wrap up the high school basketball season, and talk about what’s next. Is the torch getting passed?

Bracket Dreams and Thunder Schemes

High school hoops and the NBA playoffs are front and center on this episode. We start local with Merritt taking on Latta today and break down what to watch for in that matchup. Then we take a look at the Class 2A Girls State Tournament bracket and which teams could make a run. From there the conversation shifts to the NBA. Could the NBA Finals end up running through Oklahoma City? We talk about the Thunder’s chances, how head coach Mark Daigneault might juggle lineups during the playoffs, and whether OKC should be concerned about a possible first round series with the Los Angeles Clippers. We also discuss the quick return of Jayson Tatum and what it means for the Boston Celtics. Plus, we talk play-in tournament chaos, which teams we’re hoping sneak into the playoffs, and we wrap up with college basketball. Oklahoma Sooners men's basketball keep their season alive with a big win over South Carolina Gamecocks men's basketball in the SEC Tournament, while Oklahoma State Cowboys men's basketball fall to TCU Horned Frogs men's basketball again in the Big 12 Tournament.

From 83 to 2A State

On this episode, we dive into a wild stat line as Bam Adebayo goes for 83. Is it actually impressive, or one of those numbers that needs a little context? We also talk Merritt Oilerette basketball as head coach Jeff Daugherty joins the show ahead of the 2A Girls State Tournament. Then the focus shifts to the Oklahoma City Thunder. We look at how the standings could shake out for the Thunder’s best playoff path, which potential matchups could cause problems, and whether the MVP race might already be decided after SGA’s latest big performance. Do conference tournaments in college basketball actually matter anymore, or are fans losing interest?

Putting a Bow on It

The final buzzer has sounded on another small school basketball season, and on this episode we’re breaking it all down. From teams that exceeded expectations to the ones that finished right where we thought they would, we’ll look back at the biggest storylines from this year. We’ll talk about the players we’re going to miss watching next season, the seniors who made huge strides during their careers, and the athletes who left their mark on the court. Then we’ll turn the page toward next year. Is Canute already set up for another deep run? Who else in our area could be state title good next season? And which returning players might become the next stars across our network schools?

Start of a Run?

State championships were on the line and the OG&E Coliseum was rocking all weekend. In this episode, we break down the biggest storylines from the Oklahoma High School Basketball State Tournament, including Canute bringing home their second state title and the unforgettable moments that defined the week. We talk about how the morning sessions gave new contenders their moment, while the evening games belonged to the legends of Oklahoma high school basketball. Plus, we give our overall take on the atmosphere and experience at the OG&E Coliseum.

From Wall Street to the Hardwood

We break it down. Regional tournaments are heating up in the bigger classes. High school hoops had a big night yesterday and we run through what happened, who advanced, and who is fighting to keep their season alive. Then we look ahead. What’s on tap today. Who’s playing. What it means.

Food Rabbit Hole

This episode goes completely off the rails. We start in sports… and somehow end up down a full blown food rabbit hole. You’ll see. On the court, the Thunder almost pulled it off. So what does that mean. Are they right there, or is this just one of those seasons where injuries keep stealing momentum. And yes, we’re already tired of hearing about the Spurs. Way too much love way too early. High school hoops are back in full force. We run through today’s schedule, pick one team in every class playing today that we think can make state.

Thunder Rolling, Wrestling Ready

The Merritt Oilers are headed to the Regional Final. We break down how they got there and what’s next. The Thunder survive Toronto and try to keep it rolling against Detroit tonight. Plus, is this the first time this year an in state school has won a conference game on the same day? We’ll explain. And Elk City wrestling is in the spotlight. Head Coach Kaleb Murray joins us as we talk postseason momentum. We highlight Jr. Kenzie Manning in the 5A Girls 115 pound class, Sr. Sonny Holladay at 132 in 4A, and heavyweight Sr. Briggs Robertson.

Stretch Run & Spotlight Games

Two months left in the NBA regular season and things are heating up. We break down the league, debate our current Top 5 teams, and look at what it means for the stretch run. Plus, a tough back to back for OKC and what it says about this squad heading toward the playoffs. On the high school side, it is area finals week.
