No. 3 seed Oklahoma will begin its NCAA Tournament journey on Saturday afternoon, hosting No. 14 seed Florida Gulf Coast in a first-round battle at Lloyd Noble Center. The Sooners, who earned the right to play at home for the opening rounds, will look to fend off an FGCU squad riding a wave of momentum.
Before OU and FGCU take the court, No. 6 seed Iowa faces No. 11 seed Murray State in the other first-round contest in Norman. The winners of both matchups will square off in the second round on Monday.
This meeting marks a familiar showdown, as the Sooners and Eagles clashed in the same stage of the tournament last year. Oklahoma narrowly edged FGCU 73-70 in Bloomington before falling to Indiana in the next round.
Heading into this year's tournament, the Sooners (25-7) have been in fine form, winning nine of their last 10 games. However, FGCU (30-3) enters as one of the hottest teams in the country, boasting a 23-game winning streak and having dropped just one game since mid-December.
