Oklahoma State, OU Women's Basketball Earn NCAA Tournament Seeds

Oklahoma State University's men's basketball team has earned a No. 4 seed in the NIT Tournament, set to host Wichita State at Gallagher-Iba Arena. After a disappointing exit from the Big 12 Tournament, Coach Steve Lutz expressed hope for postseason play, stating the team deserved another chance to compete. Their inclusion in the NIT is notable as they are the only Big 12 representative in the tournament, despite finishing with a 15-17 record. Meanwhile, the Oklahoma women's basketball team secured a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament and will host first- and second-round games, beginning with a match against Florida Gulf Coast. This marks the Sooners' fourth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance under Coach Jennie Baranczyk, following a successful season that included a strong finish in the SEC. Both teams are poised to make significant impacts in their respective tournaments as they aim for postseason success.
