Just as we all expected: YOUR 🫵🏼 Miami Heat are the team to snap the Hornets’ six-game winning streak (during which Charlotte won each game by 15-plus points)

Oklahoma All-SEC third baseman Nelly McEnroe-Marinas will miss the remainder of the season due to a torn ACL she sustained Sunday.

So, what's next for the Sooners at third?

'We knew we had it in us': How Oklahoma basketball turned around a season on the brink A month ago, Oklahoma lost nine straight games and was on the verge of disaster. Now the Sooners, winners of five of their last seven ahead of Saturday's regular-season finale against Texas, have played their way into the NCAA Tournament bubble discussion with faint hopes of making the postseason.

A month ago, Oklahoma was mired in a nine-game skid, its season on the brink.

Now, entering Saturday's regular-season finale at Texas, the Sooners have played their way into the bubble discussions -- with faint hopes of earning an at-large bid.

Kalshi employees "kind of understand that without the tweets and the streamers and all of the social-media stuff that the traders do for them, usually just for free, their marketing would be a lot harder," said Jack Campion, 20, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Kalshi affiliate.
In September, Kalshi briefly signed up a 15-year-old videogame streamer who goes by vertid online to promote its brand on X as an affiliate.
A week later, Kalshi ended the partnership.
"Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minors rn," a Kalshi employee wrote to the user in messages reviewed by the Journal. "Kinda sad tbh."

Beat Texas and win two in Nashville (currently would be against Miss State and Mizzou), and they’d firmly be in the discussion for one of the last at-large bids. Non-zero chance, but a chance nonetheless

Jadon Jones saves best for last in final home game at Oklahoma Veteran guard Jadon Jones had his best game at OU in an 80-64 win against Missouri, notching season highs in points (13) and rebounds (eight). The sixth-year senior is playing his best stretch as a Sooner late in the year as the team tries to play its way onto the NCAA Tournament bubble.

Jadon Jones admittedly never thought he'd be playing at this level, in the SEC.

But he is, and now he's playing his best stretch as a Sooner. The former Long Beach State transfer, who missed last season due to a back injury had 13 and eight -- his best game at Oklahoma -- in a win vs. Missouri.

Oklahoma has trailed for just 1:54 TOTAL over its last three games.

Tonight, the Sooners trailed for just 39 seconds (all in the opening minutes of the first half) against Missouri.

Takeaways: Oklahoma hammers Missouri in home finale, keeps slim postseason hopes afloat Oklahoma kept its slim NCAA Tournament hopes alive with an impressive 80-64 win against Missouri on Tuesday night at the Lloyd Noble Center.

Belief can be a powerful tool. Ask Nijel Pack and Oklahoma.

The Sooners, left for dead a month ago, are managing to keep their slim postseason hopes afloat -- this time with a commanding 80-64 (Quad 1) win against Missouri in the home finale at the LNC.

Halftime here at the LNC, where Oklahoma and Missouri just played one of the halves of all time.

The teams combined for 19 turnovers and just 6-of-14 from the FT line.

But Oklahoma went 6-of-11 from deep, while Missouri was 1-of-9.

Sooners lead, 35-26.

The Dolphins could do a lot worse than trying to get Kyler for the vet minimum.

Besides, if it doesn’t work out (as every QB in the post-Marino era has), he can always pivot to the Marlins.

COMMIT: Oklahoma lands 2027 4-star linebacker Cooper Witten Class of 2027 four-star linebacker Cooper Witten, the son of OU tight ends coach Jason Witten, commits to Oklahoma

Big recruiting win for Oklahoma, as it picks up a commitment from linebacker Cooper Witten — the son of new Sooners tight ends coach Jason Witten and the No. 1 linebacker in the 2027 class.

Oklahoma’s Aaliyah Chavez — who tied the conference record for SEC Freshman of the Week honors this season — was somehow not named the SEC Freshman of the Year.

Still, the OU guard earned All-Freshman and second-team All-SEC honors.

OU hoops has 'biased belief' it can still make postseason but must beat Missouri in home finale Oklahoma has a non-zero chance of making the NCAA Tournament, despite its earlier nine-game skid, but must beat Missouri in the home finale at the Lloyd Noble Center on Tuesday to keep that hope alive...

Oklahoma heads into its home finale tomorrow against Missouri with a slim -- yet nonzero -- chance of making the NCAA Tournament.

With no margin for error, OU enters March with a "biased belief" that it has plenty more ahead of it this month.

"If we don’t believe it, it’s never going to happen."

2026 college basketball coaching carousel hot seat list: The power-conference jobs that could flip this March The past two years saw 29 high-majors change coaches. This cycle won't be as busy, but there's still some unavoidable change on the way

The bosses asked me to write up an overview of the 2026 coaching carousel.

We've still got a lot of fogginess, but I think this is a fair assessment of the hot seat as of this week. My over/under for high-major job changes: 10.5.

Certainly possible we get a surprise pop in the next 10-15 days.

No. 5 Oklahoma softball hit five more home runs Sunday to cap a perfect home-opening weekend with a 9-1 run-rule win against Southeastern Louisiana.

Six run-rule wins in as many games at home.

Sooners now with 86 HRs on the season. I believe UCLA, with 60, has the second most in the country.

The number of times this season I’ve seen college players turn it over on an inbound because they don’t realize they can’t run the baseline (which the refs will tell you before they give you the ball!) has been astonishing

Takeaways: Oklahoma basketball beats LSU for 2nd straight win, keeps glimmer of hope intact Oklahoma won its second game in a row, 83-67, on the road at LSU. The Sooners got big-time performances from their guards and kept their narrow, urgent path to the NCAA Tournament intact -- for now.

Oklahoma basketball won its second straight game, beating LSU on the road 83-67 for a late-season Q1 win.

The Sooners' unlikely, narrow and "urgent" path to an NCAA Tournament bid remain intact -- but there's still lots of work to do (beat Missouri and Texas, win a couple in the SEC Tournament).
