Oklahoma (16-10, 6-7) has dropped two-straight games against No. 3 Kansas and No. 1 Baylor, despite playing well for the majority of both matchups. With a key matchup against Oklahoma State in Stillwater on Saturday, the Sooners have to take care of teams they should beat to find themselves in the Big Dance.
According to Bracket Matrix, Oklahoma would be the last nine-seed to get into the NCAA Tournament. The three other nine-seeds being Florida, Southern Cal, and Witchita State. The Sooners the Shockers earlier this season, losing 80-75 on the road.
Other Big 12 schools to make the Tournament include Baylor and Kansas as the top two seeds in the entire tournament, West Virginia as a four-seed, and Texas Tech as an eight-seed.
Following Saturday’s Bedlam matchup, Oklahoma plays host to Texas Tech next Tuesday before closing out February with a trip to Morgantown, West Virginia next Saturday.
The Sooners can solidify their case to be in the big dance over the next two weeks as they still hold their own destiny.
