Oklahoma sends SEC message with dream performance vs Georgia

A week ago, Oklahoma men's basketball was mired in last place all by its lonesome in the SEC standings and in desperate straits, having lost nine consecutive games against conference opponents.

Seven days later after a 94-78 demolition of Georgia on Saturday, the Sooners (13-12, 3-9) have added a pair of elusive victories and moved out of the SEC cellar, a full game up on both South Carolina and LSU. But it took multiple season -bests on Saturday to get the job done.

The Sooners traveled to 15th-ranked Vanderbilt last weekend in full knowledge that if one more win eluded them it would tie a 62-year-old program record for most consecutive losses.
