The Saints did it again in 2017. Randall took home its third consecutive NCCAA Div. II National Championship.
Coach Mark Berokoff has made Moore one of the toughest places in Oklahoma to win a college basketball game.
Randall (16-10) made it to the national tournament with an at-large bid after falling 104-103 to Manhattan Christian in the regional tournament and was the No. 4 seed.
The Saints then defeated No. 5 Bob Jones, 90-73, in the quarterfinal and top-seeded Grace, the team it beat in 2016 title game, 85-82, in overtime in the semifinal.
