Sooner Men's Basketball: Big Game @ Ames vs Iowa State @ 7 PM
Posted: Wed Feb 28, 2024 9:18 am
With four Big 12 conference games left for the Oklahoma Sooners Men's Basketball Team, the Sooners travel north to Ames, IA, for a Wednesday night's game at 7 PM against the Iowa State Cyclones. The Sooners sit in 8th place with their 7-7 conference record in the Big 12 and their 19-8 record overall. The Cyclones are in 2nd Place in the Big 12 with a 10-4 conference record and a 21-6 overall record. OU is ranked RV37 and RV31 in the AP and Coaches Polls and holds a NET ranking of #40. Iowa State is ranked 8 and 6 in the AP and Coaches Polls and holds a #8 NET ranking.
The two teams played earlier in the season in Norman with OU winning the first conference game of the season 71-63 behind strong shooting with 10 three's made by the Sooners as McCollum, Uzan, Darthard and Godwin scoring in double figures and Soares pulling down 9 rebounds in the game.
Tonight's game is big because there are only 4 games left in the Big 12 schedule for the Sooners. It is largely felt that 20 wins unlocks the pathway to the NCAA Tourney for the Sooners. The Sooners have tonight's game with Iowa State, Saturday's game with Houston (#1 Team in the country and Big 12), Cincinnati (5-10 in Big 12) and then on the road at Texas (7-8 in Big 12). With a win, OU secures that 20th win and they move into a tie for 5th with 3 other teams in the conference. With a loss, OU moves to 19-9 and into a time for toe for 8th with 2 other teams in the conference. In the background, the seeding in the Big 12 Tourney is in play also.
The 7 PM CST, Big 12 conference contest will air on the Sooner Sports Radio Network (KRXO 107.7 FM The Franchise in Oklahoma City; KTBZ 1430 AM in Tulsa; Varsity Radio App) with Toby Rowland and Kevin Henry announcing and be broadcast by ESPN+ with Shawn Kenney (PxP) and Jess Settles (analyst) on the call.
