Oklahoma vs Texas: Red River Rivalry

0:00On March 7th, Oklahoma Sooners wrap up their regular season this Saturday with a big primetime clash against the Texas Longhorns in the Red River. Rivalry The Sooners sit at 16 wins and 14 losses overall. 6 and 11 in conference, while Texas is 18 and 12, 9 and 8 in. Lee Play A win could keep Oklahoma's slim NCAA tournament hopes alive after a strong recent stretch. The Sooners have won five of their last seven games, playing their best basketball of the year. Their defenses tightened up over the past month, and the offense is clicking thanks to sharp guard play from guys like Nigel Pack, Xavier Brown, and Dayton Forsythe. It's given them a fighting chance heading into the finale on the road in Austin. Texas has had a solid first year under new coach Sean Miller, locked in for the big dance with nine conference victories. But they got hit hard by Arkansas in their last game, so they'll be hungry to bounce back. Historically, Oklahoma leads the series 58 games to 50, though the Longhorns took the earlier match of this season, 79-2.
