Oklahoma basketball coach Porter Moser is 4-0 when he wears a suit this season. The Sooners are also 1-0 when he wears a special pair of shoes.
Moser was honoring Keith, the diehard Sooners fan that died last February after a lengthy battle with cancer. The Moore native was as frequent on Oklahoma basketball baselines as he was Sooners football sidelines. He also was known for celebrating with Oklahoma softball after winning the national championship in 2023.
‘Toby Keith meant so much to Sooner Nation,’ Moser told SEC Network after the win on Thursday, not saying if he’d wear them throughout the remainder of the tournament.
For Oklahoma’s first season in the SEC, the Sooners started a new tradition of playing Keith’s hit song ‘Courtesy of The Red, White And Blue’ after the third quarter of home football games.
As of now, it seems Moser’s Keith-signed shoes might be Oklahoma’s good-luck charm throughout March Madness.
Here’s a look at Moser’s special shoes he wore for the Sooners’ win on Thursday night:
