OU Sports

University of Oklahoma sports and information.

It's that time

If there’s one season where the popular analogy that a it’s a marathon not a sprint truly applies, it’s baseball. A few games mean little in the scope of a 56-game season or 27-game conference slate. But neither Oklahoma nor Oklahoma State have that luxury. In the eyes of many fans, the Bedlam Series is the season.....more>>

Sooners take series from KSU
Desperation might be Oklahoma’s best medicine.
Facing a must-win game against Kansas State Sunday, the Sooners had what might have been their best performance of the season in a 10-2 romp over the Wildcats at L. Dale Mitchell Park.
The victory lifted OU to 31-21-1 overall and 8-15-1 in the Big 12 Conference. More importantly, it hopped the Sooners past Kansas State (24-27, 8-16) for eighth place in the conference.
OU softball gets a regional
Oklahoma got some good news and some bad news Sunday as the NCAA Tournament's bracket was released.
Sooners get some breaks
Oklahoma hasn’t had many breaks this season.
A ball drops in and a pitch on the corner is called a strike instead of ball and maybe the Sooners wouldn’t have been the Big 12 Conference’s ninth-place team when they faced Kansas State Saturday night at L. Dale Mitchell Park.
Sooners bounced fast
Lindsey Vandever had a tough day behind the plate. The Oklahoma catcher had two throwing errors that scored runners from third base, including one in the seventh inning that proved to be the winning run, and Nebraska upset Oklahoma 6-5 in the Big 12 tournament quarterfinals Saturday at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium.
OU baseball still reeling
Fireworks were going off in the distance, but there was nothing to celebrate Friday night at L. Dale Mitchell Park. Oklahoma’s hope of making a late-season run up the Big 12 Conference standings were dealt another major blow with a 6-4 loss to Kansas State.
Nichol leaving OU
Keith Nichol’s days at Oklahoma appear to be over. Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops confirmed Friday the quarterback has decided to transfer.
“We had a good conversation with Keith and certainly understand his desire to seek an opportunity in another program,” Stoops said in a statement.
How important is Big 12 tourney to OU softball?
Sorry, Sooner fans, but it’s likely the same slight Oklahoma softball received from the NCAA last year is about to happen again.
Last season, the Sooners went into the NCAA Tournament ranked No. 1 in the country and as the tournament’s No. 3 seed, but were sent to Amherst, Mass., for the UMass Regional. After they won in New England, the Sooners returned home to host a Super Regional.
The Long way
Savannah Long has an impressive athletic pedigree.
Her father, Jim, played professional baseball in the California Angels’ organization. He played college ball at Duke and Oklahoma State. Her uncles are Cale and Mike Gundy, former star quarterbacks, turned college football coaches. “It’s been kind of expected that we would be athletes because of the genes we have,” Long said.
Under pressure on diamond
As little as two weeks ago, Oklahoma talked confidently about what it had to do to get into the NCAA Tournament. But with two Big 12 Conference series remaining, college baseball’s Big Dance is no longer a major topic.
