Sooner Nation will not have to travel far to witness NCAA Tournament action in-person.
As a top-4 seed, the Oklahoma women's basketball team will host the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament, which will include three games, at Lloyd Noble Center in Norman, Oklahoma.
The Sooners earned the 3-seed and hosting rights in Regional 4. They will welcome the 6-seed Iowa Hawkeyes, 11-seed Murray State Racers and 14-seed Florida Gulf Coast Racers.
After dropping its first two games of its season, Florida Gulf Coast enters the NCAA Tournament with a 30-3 record. The Eagles have won 23 in a row and went 18-0 in the Atlantic Sun Conference, including winning the conference tournament.
Iowa is 22-10 after losing legend Caitlin Clark and longtime head coach Lisa Bluder, while Murray State has a 25-7 record.
The Sooners get Florida Gulf Coast in the first round at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, but action at Lloyd Noble Center will start with Iowa vs. Murray State that morning.
