Most painfully, the <b>Sooners held a lead with under a minute<\/b> versus <b>Arkansas<\/b> but could not seal victory.<\/p>\n<p>Basketball occasionally rewards the <b>persistent team<\/b>, and <b>Oklahoma possesses legitimate talent<\/b>. If <b>Pack and Brown<\/b> find rhythm simultaneously, an <b>upset becomes conceivable<\/b>.
