NORMAN — OU men’s basketball released its full 2024-25 schedule on Thursday.
The Sooners will open their regular season at home against Lindenwood at 8 p.m. Monday, Nov. 4.
Head coach Porter Moser’s squad will head to the Bahamas in late November to participate in the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament. OU will open with a matchup against Providence at 4 p.m. CT Wednesday, Nov. 27. The rest of the field includes Arizona, Davidson, Gonzaga, Indiana, Louisville and West Virginia.
The Sooners then return home for a bout with Georgia Tech as part of the SEC/ACC Challenge on Dec. 3. Former OU guard Javian McCollum joined the Yellowjackets via the transfer portal this past offseason.
OU will host Alcorn State at 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7, for a student-only contest at McCasland Field House, the Sooners’ home from 1928-75. The program hosted a game inside the historic venue for the first time since 2012-13 last season and it was a huge success.
