Sooners turn Bedlam win into NCAA Tournament lifeline as pressure mounts on OSU

ESPN's Joe Lunardi had Okahoma as the last team to sneak into the NCAA Tournament in his latest Bracketology on Tuesday, while OSU was the last team left out with its only loss so far coming to the Sooners, 85-76 on Dec. 23 at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City.
