Oklahoma (18-15, 7-11 Big 12) was selected as a No. 1 seed in the National Invitational Tournament on Sunday. OU will host Missouri State in its first-round game in Norman.
Oklahoma is a No. 1 seed in the NIT Tournament and will face Missouri State in Norman. #Sooners

The Sooners made the NIT after missing the cut for the NCAA Tournament. OU, listed as the second overall team in the field, could make the NCAA Tournament as a COVID-19 replacement for any team that has to miss its game. Dayton, SMU and Texas A&M comprise the rest of the first four out.
If the Sooners win against the Bears, they will take on the winner of Colorado and St. Bonaventure. Oklahoma is 10-7 in seven all-time appearances in the tournament.
Oklahoma finished seventh in the Big 12 regular season standings and fell in the conference tournament semifinals to No. 14 Texas Tech after defeating No. 3 Baylor in the quarterfinals.Â
OU and Missouri State’s game is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Tuesday, March 15 at the Lloyd Noble Center.
