OSU SERIES
- OSU leads all-time series 142-134 since 1942. Oklahoma State won last year's series, 2-1, and has won eight of the 15 Big 12 series since 1997. OSU also won last week in Stillwater, 6-1. The third straight year to meet in a non-conference game on a campus site.
- Since Big 12 play began, the winner in Tulsa has gone on to win the series in 11 of the 15 chances.
- OU is 11-10 in games played in Tulsa (1991-present).
- The Sooners won nine of the first 10 meetings in Tulsa, but have lost nine of the last 11. Won in 2009 and 2010.
- Eight of the Big 12 regular season series have been decided in the third game where OU is 5-3 (lost last year).
- Since the series shifted to its current setting (game one in Tulsa and games two and three in OKC) in 1991, OU is 16-23 in games played in Oklahoma City.
- Each team has won 13 games during the regular season at Redhawks Field since it opened in 1998.
- Since 1997, 35 of the 55 games have been decided by three runs or less (OU leads 20-15). Eighteen of those games were one-run decisions where OU is 10-8.
- Sunny Golloway has coached in 53 Bedlam games as an assistant coach and head coach (OU is 23-30 in those games). Golloway is 11-14 as OU head coach (2005-2012)
- The 2012 series marks the sixth straight season that at least one of the teams is ranked in the top 25. The 2006 season is the last time both teams entered a three- game set ranked (No. 8 OU vs. No. 24 OSU).
Don't know what to expect this weekend guys. All I know that this is a big series with 4th place up for grabs. IMO, this is a must win.
