UNDATED (AP) — Oklahoma has an agreement in place with Loyola Chicago’s Porter Moser to become the Sooners’ next head basketball coach.
That’s according to a person familiar with the situation who spoke with The Associated Press because the move has not been announced.
Moser will replace Lon Kruger, who retired last month after 10 years coaching the Sooners.
Moser led Loyola to two deep runs in the NCAA Tournament. The Ramblers reached the Final Four in 2018 and the Sweet 16 this year.

The deal was struck even as the school awaits the decision from an independent panel investigating five serious infractions charges alleged by the NCAA.
— Auburn freshman point guard Sharife Cooper says he plans to enter the NBA draft and give up his remaining eligibility after playing just 12 games. Cooper averaged 20.2 points, 8.1 assists and 4.3 rebounds after being declared eligible by the NCAA.
