OU announces Bedlam basketball doubleheader at Paycom Center

The University of Oklahoma announced on Thursday a partnership with Oklahoma State University and Paycom Center that sets up a Bedlam basketball doubleheader this December. 

The doubleheader will feature a men’s and women's non-conference game with OSU in the Oklahoma City Thunder’s Paycom Center on Dec. 13.

Following OU’s move to the Southeastern Conference, the Bedlam series seemed to come to an end. However, the in-state rivals faced off in basketball, baseball and softball last season.

OU and OSU have met at least once every season since 1927 in men’s basketball and squared off annually since 1975 in women’s basketball.

Last season, Porter Moser’s squad defeated the Cowboys 80-65, bringing the all-time Bedlam series to 144-106 in the Sooners’ favor. The OU women’s team leads the all-time series 69-47, with the last win coming in 2024 under head coach Jennie Baranczyk.

Fans can attend both games with a single ticket. OU season ticket holders will receive an email with pre-sale details, while students will get ticket information following the start of the fall semester.

General public tickets will go on sale through Ticketmaster on Friday, Aug. 1, at 10 a.m.
