The Oklahoma Sooners are making a fourth consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament under the direction of Lon Kruger. Earning a No. 2 seed, the Sooners are paired off with No. 15 seed, the CSU Bakersfield Roadrunners marking their first appearance in the Big Dance since joining the D-I ranks. However, it should be a home crowd for OU as the two collide on Friday inside the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City.
