Sooners Face Arizona State in Phoenix as Tough Road Stretch Continues
NORMAN, OK – The Oklahoma Sooners men’s basketball team (6-2) will face another significant test this Saturday, traveling to Phoenix to take on the Arizona State Sun Devils (6-2) in the Jerry Colangelo Classic. Tip-off is scheduled for 9 p.m. CT at the Mortgage Matchup Center, with the game broadcast on CBS Sports Network.
This game marks the second consecutive road game for the Sooners against a high-major opponent, following their ACC/SEC Challenge victory over Wake Forest on Tuesday. After a somewhat inconsistent start to the season, including losses to Gonzaga and Nebraska, Oklahoma has found its rhythm, securing impressive wins against Marquette and Wake Forest.
Arizona State, coached by Bobby Hurley, presents a formidable challenge. The Sun Devils’ two losses mirror Oklahoma’s in that one loss was to Gonzaga and the other to USC in the Maui Invitational.
This weekend’s contest will be the first time Oklahoma has played in Arizona since 2010, with the two teams holding a 1-1 record in previous matchups.
Following the game against Arizona State, the Sooners will return to Oklahoma to face Oklahoma State in their annual Bedlam game at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City and Kansas City the following Tuesday at the Lloyd Noble Center.
Fans can catch the game on CBS Sports Network, or listen on the Sooner Sports Network (KRXO 107.7 FM in Oklahoma City, KTBZ 1430 AM in Tulsa, Varsity Radio App).
