Oklahoma’s Lincoln Riley showed up to the Thunder game on Tuesday

Oklahoma Sooners football head coach Lincoln Riley was among those in attendance for the Thunder and Los Angeles Lakers game on Tuesday night at Chesapeake Energy Arena.

The second-year coach posted a picture on Twitter with several others from a box suite inside of the arena as the Thunder rolled to a 119-103 win over the Lakers.

Riley has become one of the top head coaches in the country after leading the Sooners to two straight appearances in the College Football Playoff. Oklahoma is 24-4 under Riley.

Of course, Riley and his group witnessed Russell Westbrook record just the second game in NBA history with at least 20 points, rebounds and assists — Westbrook had 20 points, 20 rebounds and 21 assists.

After two successful years at Oklahoma, the program recently made him one of the top 10 highest-paid coaches in college football after raising his annual salary to a reported $6 million.
