Oklahoma basketball: Betcha didn’t know these fun facts
It’s looking more and more like the Big 12 will have two No. 1 seeds in this year’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship. Watching the ups and downs of men’s Oklahoma basketball this season, it is a difficult to fathom that the Sooners have actually held the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament five times.
Oklahoma has never won a national championship in men’s basketball, but the Sooners have been runner-up twice (1947 and 1988).
The Sooners have been to the Final Four five times (1939, 1947, 1988, 2002 and 2016). Only Kansas (15) and Oklahoma State (6) of the current Big 12 teams have been to the Final Four more times than OU.
