The Oklahoma Sooners won't just experience madness in March during the 2025-26 men's college basketball season.
The SEC on Wednesday released the Sooners' conference opponents for next season. OU will host Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Ole Miss, Missouri, Texas and Texas A&M at Lloyd Noble Center. The Sooners will hit the road to play Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi State, Missouri, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt.
The Sooners will face Texas, Missouri and Texas A&M twice during the regular season.
Dates and times for the SEC matchups will be announced later.
SEC releases OU men's basketball conference opponents
Every SEC game next season at Lloyd Noble Center will be a matchup of 2025 NCAA Tournament squads. The Sooners ended their March Madness drought last season and all nine conference teams they'll host next season also made the NCAA Tournament last season.
That home slate also includes half of the Final Four field with Auburn and national champion Florida coming to Norman. The Gators winning it all capped a historically dominant season for the SEC. A record 14 SEC teams made the NCAA Tournament.
The Sooners went 6-12 in conference play last season in their first year in the SEC. They started hot after going 13-0 during nonconference play but suffered mostly disappointment once they entered the SEC gauntlet. OU needed a late three-game winning streak at the end of the regular season and first game of the SEC Men's Basketball Tournament to sneak into the NCAA Tournament.
To improve and hopefully seriously compete in the SEC in Year 2, Porter Moser has assembled his best transfer portal class yet with the help of new assistant general manager Trae Young.
The OU women's basketball team also got its future SEC opponents the day before the men. The women's slate is just as challenging as the men with six conference opponents included in ESPN's Way-Too-Early Top 25.
