Happy Friday, friends and fans!
The Oklahoma Sooners are one day away from a major top-25 Big 12-SEC Challenge matchup against the Alabama Crimson Tide. If OU extends its winning streak on Saturday, it would be a third straight victory over a top-10 ranked opponent, and the fourth overall in the month of January alone.
Before this highly-anticipated contest tips off, CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm and his latest Bracketology projects Lon Kruger’s squad as a five-seed in this season’s Big Dance. Additionally, ESPN’s Joe Lunardi currently has the Sooners as a six-seed in his most recent update, and also gives Oklahoma greater than an 80 percent chance of making the tourney.
