Following a thrilling overtime win in the Bedlam game, highlighted by Javian McCollum’s buzzer-beating three-pointer, the Sooners have an impressive 86.5% chance of making the NCAA Tournament, according to Torvik’s TourneyCast. In Joe Lunardi’s Bracketology, they are positioned as an 8-seed, boasting a 19-8 record, and securing one more win is likely to solidify their at-large bid. This week poses a challenging two-game stretch for the Sooners, commencing with a faceoff against No. 8 Iowa State (21-6, 10-4), who have had a remarkable season. The game is scheduled at Hilton Coliseum at 7:00 (ESPN+) on Wednesday night. Winning in Ames has proven to be a formidable challenge this season, with no team accomplishing it so far. Despite the tough task ahead, the exhilarating victory over the weekend and standout performances from McCollum, Otega Oweh, and Rivaldo Soares should instill confidence in the Sooners as they approach this crucial matchup.
