As the Sooners took an 18-point lead over Oregon into the half, led by Buddy Hield's 17 points, media and the fans took to Twitter to react to Hield's stellar first half.
Oklahoma is exactly the kind of team -- and Buddy Hield the kind of star -- college basketball deserves at this year's Final Four.

Buddy sunk that 3, turned straight to the Oklahoma section in the crowd and started popping his jersey. He knows he’s on one today.

Buddy Hield just had the best five-turnover half in the history of basketball.

At one point this year I was on the Denzel Valentine POY bandwagon. Then I watched Buddy Hield more. And, well, it's all his
