Happy Hump Day, friends and fans!
On Tuesday it was revealed that the Oklahoma Sooners men’s basketball team will host the Mississippi State Bulldogs in next season’s Big 12/SEC Challenge. The Norman Transcript’s Joe Buettner has more details.
In the six-year history of the mid-season cross-conference challenge, Oklahoma is 4-2 against its SEC foes, and the Big 12 as a whole leads the overall series with a record of 4-1-1.
Although Mississippi State made it into the NCAA Tournament last March, the Bulldogs were unable to advance past the first round. This matchup should make for quite a compelling litmus test for both squads having to replace key contributors.
