It has been a week full of postponements and cancellations due to the severe winter weather slamming the region right now. Oklahoma basketball had their game against Texas postponed twice before being pushed a third time to a later date. Sooners baseball is now going down a similar path.
After already having their home series against Southern canceled and replaced by a set with Wichita State in Round Rock, Texas, the games with the Shockers have now been called off as well leaving the team currently without an opponent for opening weekend.
Oklahoma and Wichita State were going to play a three-game, two-day set down south beginning on Saturday. Now, it is an open space on the slate in the middle of the week with not much time to set up something new.

However, the Sooners do plan to look for a new opponent for the weekend if they can. Sooners Wire will provide updates on if the team can find a team to take on for the weekend when they become available. As it currently stands, Oklahoma will have opening weekend off, but we will see if it stays that way.
