While it is the first time this season that the two in-state rivals will meet on the hardwood, it will be the 232nd time the two Big 12 schools have squared off in the history of the rivalry. The Sooners have played no other team more times in basketball than they have the OSU Cowboys.
While Bedlam can be as unpredictable as any longtime rivalry series, at this particular point this season Monday night’s matchup features two teams that are trending in very opposite directions.
Lon Kruger’s Sooners were absolutely obliterated on Saturday, losing at home by 32 points to the Florida Gators in the Big 12-SEC Basketball Challenge.
