Oklahoma State and Tulsa's football rivalry continues, with the Cowboys heavily favored in their latest matchup. Oklahoma State has reworked its defense due to injuries, which may give Tulsa's offense an edge. Meanwhile, the Bedlam basketball rivalry between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State will resume on Dec. 14 at Oklahoma City's Paycom Center, despite Oklahoma's move to the SEC. The game, part of the Bedlam Series, now has the People of Oklahoma Oil and Natural Gas as its title sponsor, emphasizing the rivalry's importance to the state. This matchup is especially significant as it will be a major nonconference game for both schools, with Oklahoma State looking to leverage it for NCAA Tournament aspirations.
