Oklahoma basketball had their incredible stretch slow down a bit last week after having their winning streak ended by Texas Tech and had an unexpected close call at home to Iowa State.
The loss and shaky win dropped the Sooners dropped in the AP Poll, but they still managed to climb up two spots to No. 12 in the Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.
