As of March 7, 2026, the OU men’s basketball team has a record of 16-14 overall and 6-11 in the SEC. They are set to face Texas at 7:30 p.m. CT, with the game broadcast on SEC Network.

In contrast, the OU women’s basketball team suffered a significant defeat against LSU, losing 112-78 in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals. This loss ended their six-game winning streak and dropped their record against AP Top 25 opponents to 5-7 this season.

Despite the setback, the women’s team finished the regular season ranked No. 7 in the country and is projected to be a No. 4 seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament.

Historically, the OU men’s basketball team is on the fringes of NCAA Tournament projections, seeking to improve their standing with a strong performance against Texas. Meanwhile, the women’s team had a season reminiscent of their inaugural SEC campaign, achieving a commendable record and advancing to the SEC Tournament quarterfinals.

On the football front, OU’s defensive tackle depth is set to be tested in 2026 due to significant player losses. The team has lost two defensive tackles to the NFL Draft and two more to the transfer portal. However, key players Jayden Jackson and David Stone are returning to bolster the defensive line.

As the SEC Tournament Selection Show approaches, airing at 7 p.m. on March 15, 2026, the anticipation builds for both basketball teams. The men’s team hopes to secure their place in the NCAA Tournament, while the women’s team aims to bounce back after their recent defeat.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding David Rowaiye’s status on the team, as he was not listed in a recent social media post but has neither entered the transfer portal nor exhausted his eligibility.
