Oklahoma men’s basketball’s offense wasn’t the only thing that caught fire in the Sooners’ game on Saturday, Feb. 14.
A popcorn machine caught fire at Lloyd Noble Center in Norman during the first half of OU’s game against Georgia, sending fans sprinting and causing a delay to the action. No injuries were reported.
The fire occurred in the upper concourse of the arena about four minutes into the game. Fans quickly cleared out from the adjacent sections. Some attendees exited the building altogether according to video shared on social media.
Automated sprinklers extinguished the flames, according to News9. The Norman Fire Department responded as a precaution, the news station reported.
The game resumed after a brief delay, and the Sooners went on to take down the Bulldogs by a score of 94-78.
