Oklahoma basketball has had a hard time getting their new season underway. Each of their first three games of the season were postponed due to COVID-19 issues on the team.
The first of which, a home game against UTSA, has now been officially rescheduled for Thursday night in Norman.

This game was originally set for last Wednesday, Nov. 25th before it had to be called off along with the Sooners’ road trip to take on UCF the following Sunday.
After Oklahoma’s third game of the year against Florida was also postponed, the team was set to have to open their season on the road against a Big 12 opponent in TCU this weekend. The motivation to get the UTSA game rescheduled as soon as possible is not hard to figure out as this provides them an opportunity to get some game reps before diving right into a conference matchup.
It has been a moving target the last week or so, but as of now the Sooners’ season opener is set for this Thursday night at 7:00 p.m. CT at the Lloyd Noble Center in Norman. It may just about finally be basketball time in Oklahoma.
