Oklahoma (16-11, 6-8) are officially on the bubble following a three-game losing streak capped off with a blowout loss to Oklahoma State (14-13, 4-10).
The Sooners’ loss to the Cowboys slid them to an 11-seed via USA TODAY, a play in 12-seed on ESPN, and an average of a 10.92-seed per Bracket Matrix.
With just four games remaining in the regular season, Oklahoma is going to have to win at least three of them to stay inside the bubble.
Hosting Texas Tech in Oklahoma City tomorrow night, heading to No. 19 West Virginia on Saturday before closing the regular season out with Texas at home and TCU on the road, the Sooners have no free games left. There is no room for air if Oklahoma wants to make it to the Big Dance. Lon Kruger’s crew have got to play their best basketball over the next two to two and a half weeks with selection Sunday just under three weeks away.
The Sooners’ gauntlet begins tomorrow night when they play host to Texas Tech at Chesapeake Energy Arena at 8p.m. on ESPN2. The Red Raiders won the first matchup in Lubbock, Texas, beating Oklahoma 69-61.
