The Oklahoma Sooners (14-7, 9-6) are set to get right back to action on Monday night against Bedlam rival Oklahoma State (16-6, 9-6) in a rematch of their overtime epic on Saturday afternoon in Norman.
It doesn’t happen often in college basketball that two teams face one another in back-to-back games, let alone in-state rivals at a pivotal point in the season. If the Sooners want to find a way to make up for their loss in the first meeting, they will have to find a way to slow down Cowboys’ star Cade Cunningham.
On Saturday, Cunningham exploded for 40 points and was seemingly unstoppable down the home stretch of regulation and in the overtime period. Without much time to to find a way to keep him at bay, Lon Kruger and company will need to do just that this time around to try and get the road win.
What has been an incredible season for Oklahoma has hit its biggest rough patch at a pivotal time in the final days of the regular season. The Sooners have just two more games, including this one, to get things back on track before the Big 12 Tournament and selection Sunday.
For what is quite possibly the biggest game of Oklahoma’s season, here is everything you need to know:
