Moser Returns to OU, Arena Plans in Motion

0:00On March 18th, University of Oklahoma men's basketball coach, Porter Moser, is coming back for the 2026-27 season. Athletic director Roger Denny made the announcement over the weekend, right after the Sooners wrapped up their year. They missed the NCAA tournament by just one win, but showed real grit down the stretch. The team hit a rough patch early in conference play, dropping nine straight after an opening win. Things flipped late, though, with eight victories in their final 11 games and a run to the SEC quarterfinals. That turnaround caught a lot of eyes amid all the speculation about Moser's job. Fans and insiders have been calling for a change through the middle of the season. Denny, who's only been in the role for a month, shut that down quick. He pointed straight at resource gaps across the program, not the coaching on the floor. Denny says the decision to keep Moser was locked in before the SEC tournament even started. Now the focus shifts to beefing up support, especially with a new arena planned north of campus. Officials promise a full commitment to get things aligned.
