NORMAN, Okla. -- Twenty years ago, arguably the greatest team in Oklahoma
men's basketball history lit up the Lloyd Noble Center
scoreboard during a magical season that culminated
with an appearance in the national championship game.
This weekend, they're coming back.
Members of Oklahoma's 1988 Final Four team will be
in attendance Saturday when
the Sooners host Texas A&M
at 1 p.m. The returning players and coaches will be
honored during a special halftime ceremony.
Reserved tickets for Saturday's game are sold out,
but a limited number of restricted admission tickets
will be available for $10 at the Lloyd Noble Center's
North and East ticket windows starting at 11:30 a.m.
Saturday. Restricted admission ticket holders are allowed
to sit in a vacant upper-level seat after tipoff. Fans
should also check OU's
Ticket
Marketplace for reserved seats that may
become available leading up to Saturday's game.
The OU-Texas A&M game is also
"Cheer Like
a Champion Day".
White T-shirts will be placed in every seat of the
Lloyd Noble Center. Come out and support your Sooners,
both past and present.
