Preview

Oklahoma had the Big 12 regular season title in their grasp until they lost three of five down the stretch. In two of those games, though, they didn't have their star sophomore (and the best player in the country) Blake Griffin. He went out in the Texas game with a concussion and did not play against Kansas.

Oklahoma State finished the season on a strong note—a 7-1 run. Their one loss, though, was a four-point loss to Oklahoma. During that stretch, though, they upset Texas for their only win over a ranked opponent this season.

The Sooners, on the other hand, have gone 4-2 against the Top 25—their two losses being when they played without Griffin.

Oklahoma has been in the top 10 since the beginning of December, including three weeks in the two-spot. Without Griffin, they struggled and dropped to sixth.

In Oklahoma's last game, they faced OSU and managed to right their ship. Can they continue that momentum into tonight's game, or will the Cowboys grab their second win over a Top 25 team this season?
