In the latest edition of the Ferris Mowers Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll, Oklahoma missed the final cut after their second-round exit from the NCAA tournament. The season ended after a loss to the eventual runner-up of the entire tournament drawing a matchup with Gonzaga. New head coach Porter Moser‘s old team finished inside the top 15 at No. 12 with a 26-5 record. They were eliminated in the Sweet 16.
The rest of the Big 12 Conference was well represented following the NCAA tournament coming to a close. The Baylor Bears come in at No. 1 after defeating Gonzaga in the National Championship game. Kansas was the second-highest school coming in at No. 16. West Virginia, Oklahoma State, Texas, and Texas Tech make up the six conference schools to make the list.
