The Sooners are making only their fifth trip to college basketball’s coveted center court: the Final Four. Their most recent Final Four appearance was in 2002, when an OU team led by Aaron McGhee, Hollis Price and Ebi Ere was paired with the Indiana Hoosiers.
Oklahoma advanced as the No. 2 seed in the West Region (the same as they were this season). Indiana was the No. 5 seed out of the South Region.
The Sooners took a 34-30 lead into halftime, but were unable to hold off Indiana in the second half, despite 22 points by McGhee and 15 from Ere, as Oklahoma fell to the lower-seeded Hoosiers by a final score of 72-63.
