They’ve got a couple of tough matchups upcoming against Kansas and Texas, but if Oklahoma can keep their shooting touch going, they’ll be in a great spot to pick up their first regular season title in more than a decade.

If there’s an area in which the Oklahoma Sooners can improve over their final four games is on the defensive end of the floor. They might lead the conference in scoring but are also last in the Big 12 in scoring defense, allowing 76 points per game. Some of that is due to the pace in which the play. They’ve allowed the most field goal attempts per game but are also sixth in the Big 12 in field goal percentage allowed. Jennie Baranczyk has the Sooners No. 5 in scoring differential this season.
Oklahoma has a chance to make a statement over the next week and a half and earn a top four seed in the NCAA tournament come March Madness.
