It's clear, Sooner Nation does want another day of the Porter Moser era at Oklahoma.
The Sooners lost to a struggling LSU 82-79 on Saturday at Lloyd Noble Center. OU led by six at halftime and as many as 13 early in the second half. The Sooners were even in control in the final 30 seconds with a five-point lead.
But as has become routine under Moser, especially this season, the Sooners choked away a game late and never got a good look at the end when down two at home.
We might have just seen the Porter Moser era come to an end in the span of about 25 seconds.

Oklahoma led bottom-feeder LSU by 5 with 24 seconds left. On their home floor. And lose.
A collapse of epic proportions. #Sooners
The Noble Family is going to ask for its name to be taken off the stadium at this point.

It was a game that should have been one of OU's easiest conference wins of the season. LSU entered the contest with only one SEC win and at 12-12 overall while on a seven-game losing streak.
Instead, it's the Sooners' losing streak that continued, now at four games. The first three were to ranked teams, icluding a pair of top-5 squads in the sam week, but even those were frustrating performances for Sooner Nation to witness.
OU's average margin of defeat in the first three games of its losing streak was 23.3. The Sooners, 0-6 against ranked SEC teams, have lost by an average of 17.8 points against such opponents. Only one ranked SEC team has beaten OU by less than double digits this season.
Those blowouts, now capped with an abysmal loss to LSU, should pop the Sooners' NCAA Tournament bubble. Unless OU accomplishes a miraculous turnaround with five more ranked teams ahead, it will be the fourth time in four years under Moser that OU misses the NCAA Tournament.

Sooner Nation has been exclaiming for Moser's job most of SEC play, but now with no postseason in the future, fans are wondering why even wait? Considering the Sooners are averaging a blowout against ranked teams, would it make a difference if Moser is or isn't leading OU during its next trip to play No. 3 Florida?
Sooner Nation does not want another game of the Porter Moser era.
Porter Moser cannot be allowed to take this team to Gainesville.

Not going to suddenly get any better, but why wait.
New levels of ineptitude
Porter Moser should not make the trip to Gainesville @soonerad

Porter Moser's buyout no longer matters. That loss is irredeemable.

LSU hadn't won a game in a month, but came back from a 13-point lead, owned the last 2 minutes, made two 4-point plays, forced a miracle turnover on an inbounds pass and won.
Joe C. now has but one option.
For those wondering, Porter Moser's buyout would reportedly be about $6.5 million. But I'm not sure Sooner Nation cares what the price is to move on.

If Joe Castiglione doesn’t fire Porter Moser tomorrow, its completely evident he does not give af about our basketball program. @soonerad

Just now catching up with what happened with OU basketball today. If Porter Moser still has a job on Monday, I really don't know what we're doing. Don't talk to me about facilities or NIL. This guy's teams consistently find ways to lose games they should win.

That’s just a poorly coached, undisciplined OU basketball team.

Porter Moser has to be gone.
Oklahoma collapses and loses at home to LSU 82-79.

Cam Carter led the Tigers with 29.
Porter Moser, you consistently start well only to blow your NCAA Tournament spot in conference play. You are a fraud. pic.twitter.com/sKYjdk1Lbf
