The Oklahoma Sooners and No. 14 Texas Tech Red Raiders spilt their regular season matchups, each earning the victory on their home floor. The last time the two teams met, Texas Tech won by 24 points. That February 22 matchup was also the last time Oklahoma lost a basketball game.  Since then, OU has rattled off four straight including an OT win over Oklahoma State,  a win at Kansas State, and their quarterfinal win over the No. 3 Baylor Bears.

Since their drubbing of OU in Lubbock, the Red Raiders dropped games to TCU and Oklahoma State. They were firing on all cylinders in their 31 point win over Iowa State in Tech’s quarterfinals matchup.

According to Joe Lunardi of ESPN, this is a must-win game for Oklahoma’s hopes of making the NCAA tournament, despite Porter Moser’s confidence that the win over Baylor has secured OU a tourney berth.

The mission remains the same regardless of the projections. Each game can make a difference at this point in the season. If Oklahoma can recreate the performance they had in Norman they’ll have a shot to earn another top 15 win and move on to play the winner of Kansas and TCU in the other semifinal of the Big 12 tournament.
