The Oklahoma Sooners have found themselves in a bit of a skid as the season came to a close against their bitter rivals. The team lost their final four games by a combined 17 points.
Following their last win over Iowa State, Lon Kruger’s team has been on the wrong side of these close games. In the Big 12 Tournament, the Sooners will face off with those same Cyclones. The Baylor Bears jumped to No. 2 while the West Virginia Mountaineers fell four spots to No. 9 to round out the top 10. After a slow start the Kansas Jayhawks jumped back to No. 12 in the latest update. Oklahoma State is now at No. 14 and Texas at No. 16 once again.
Oklahoma dropped to No. 24 in the latest edition of the Ferris Mowers Coaches poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.
