The Oklahoma Sooners continued their impressive late-season run with an 80-64 victory over the Missouri Tigers on senior night. Led by Jadon Jones' 13 points on perfect shooting, the Sooners played stifling defense in the first half to build a lead they would not relinquish.

Why it matters

Oklahoma has quietly been one of the hottest teams in the country over the last few weeks, winning five of their last seven games. This victory over a red-hot Missouri squad keeps the Sooners' slim NCAA Tournament hopes alive as they head into the regular season finale against Texas.

The details

Oklahoma jumped out to a 35-26 halftime lead by holding Missouri to just 26 first-half points and shooting 54.5% from three-point range. The Sooners extended their lead in the second half, at one point leading by as much as 22 points, before Missouri made a late push that ultimately fell short. Oklahoma shot an impressive 62.2% from the field and 54.5% from deep for the game.

  • The game was played on Tuesday, March 4, 2026.
  • Oklahoma will travel to Austin to face Texas in the regular season finale on Saturday, March 7, 2026.

What’s next

To make a push for the NCAA Tournament it remains unlikely, but Oklahoma would likely need a win in Austin and around three wins next week in Nashville.

The takeaway

Oklahoma's late-season surge has kept their slim NCAA Tournament hopes alive, as they continue to prove they are one of the hottest teams in the country over the past few weeks. A win over rival Texas in the regular season finale could give the Sooners the momentum they need heading into the conference tournament.
