Sooners No. 2 Seed in Kansas City
OU opens NCAA Tournament play Thursday night against Morgan State.
NORMAN, Okla. -- Jeff Capel's University of Oklahoma men's basketball team (27-5) is slated as a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament and will take on No. 15 seed Morgan State (23-11) on Thursday in Kansas City, Mo., as part of the South Regional. The Sooners and Bears will tip at approximately 8:40 p.m. CT.
If OU wins its first-round game, it will play Saturday against the winner of Thursday's 6:10 p.m. contest between No. 7 seed Clemson (23-8) and No. 10 seed Michigan (20-13). Games will be played at Sprint Center.
The Sooners, who finished in second place in the Big 12 Conference with a 13-3 mark, are making their 26th NCAA Tournament appearance and 13th in the last 15 years.
"Hopefully it keeps us a little more fresh," said Capel of not having to travel far to nearby Kansas City. "But our guys should be real excited, excited to have an opportunity to still play. A lot of people would love to be in our spot right now. We should be excited and hopefully we play that way."
