The Bedlam basketball game between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State will be played on December 14th in Oklahoma City, according to Jon Rothstein.
Rothstein shared the news on X on Thursday afternoon.
The two sides have long agreed to want to continue the basketball series, despite Oklahoma leaving the Big 12 for the SEC last month.
Since 1916, Oklahoma has led the all-time series record in men’s basketball with a record of 134–106. The Sooners have won 19 of the last 36 meetings. However, the Cowboys have gone 11–5 against the Sooners since the end of Travis Ford’s tenure as head coach.
The Sooners swept the Cowboys in 2018–2019, giving Oklahoma its seventh Bedlam sweep since 2006, including the 2013–2014, 2014–2015 and 2015–2016 regular season Bedlam series. Oklahoma State has swept three times in that span, during the 2016–2017, 2020–2021 and 2022–2023 regular seasons.
Bedlam Football
On the football field, there’s no indication the Bedlam game will be renewed any time soon.
After beating Oklahoma last season, Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy said, “It won’t happen again in the regular season.” Gundy added that Bedlam would be a great bowl match up in the future and that he would look forward to playing it.
Oklahoma leads the football series 91–20–7, but it was the Cowboys who won two of the last three games in the series.
This season will mark the first time since 1909 that Bedlam will not be played.
