The Sooners are on a four game losing skid with their latest defeat coming by way of Kansas State, 83-68 on Saturday. Tommy Mason-Griffin scored 16 points and handed out five assists, while fellow freshman Andrew Fitzgerald matched his career-high with 14 points in the win. The Sooners were without leading scorer Willie Warren for the fourth time in eight games, first because of a sprained ankle and then mononucleosis. Warren will be out for the remainder of the season. That’s a big blow to Oklahoma whose strength in the backcourt, comes from Warren and Tommy Mason-Griffin. The Sooners is generating 73.3 ppg, but is allowing 72.9 ppg to opponents. A porous defense is just one of the many areas of concern for the Sooners this season.
