It’s a top-25 matchup between Oklahoma and Alabama, only it’s not football. The No. 24 Oklahoma basketball Sooners host No. 9 Alabama on Saturday.
This is one of nine games being played on Saturday between the Big 12 and Southeastern Conference as part of the eighth annual Big 12/SEC Challenge. The scheduled battle between Texas and Kentucky has been cancelled because of COVID concerns within the Texas program.
