Four of those 31 wins have come in the Sooners’ opening two Big 12 series. Both Baylor and Texas Tech, OU’s opponents in its first two conference series of the 2017 season, are ranked in the USA Today College Baseball Top 25. Baylor was ranked 18th last week when the Sooners played them and won two of three at Baylor, and the Red Raiders were the nation’s second-ranked team when they came to Norman over the weekend for the showdown with 18th-ranked Oklahoma.
“I’ve got a good team,” Sooner head coach Pete Hughes told the Oklahoma City Oklahoman after Sunday’s series-deciding win.
