Oklahoma got through the first 22 games of the year with a 12-10 record. In the seven games since, the Sooners are just 2-5, however. The losses in that time have come versus West Virginia, Baylor, Kansas, Texas and Texas Tech.

ANDREW’S FREE PICK
I’m going to stick with Kansas State. This should be a good matchup regardless however, so you could easily make a case for the Sooners. Kansas State posted a comeback victory versus Oklahoma State in their last outing, but they didn’t start particularly well. The Wildcats are on a three-game win streak right now, however the team’s last loss came at Lloyd Noble Center in a 79-65 result back on February 14 versus Oklahoma. The Sooners shot a nice 51 percent from the floor in that one and hit 11-of-23 (47.8 percent) from 3-point range. Oklahoma is coming off a big road win over Iowa State, so the Wildcats will have their hands full in this rematch. I like Kansas State to play better at home and power out the cover, though. It’ll be a fun one to watch.
