Lon Kruger's first NCAA Tournament win at Oklahoma won't come easy as his his Sooners prepare to take on the North Dakota State Bison. NDSU is shooting a nation's best .509 from the floor and will bring in four players averaging in double figures in scoring. Of course Kruger is going to answer with four guys of his own who are averaging in double figures and we'll see where the dust settles.
Team Leaders
| Oklahoma | NDSU | |
| Points | Buddy Hield (16.8) | Taylor Braun (18.2) |
| Rebounds | Ryan Spangler (9.4) | Taylor Braun (5.5) |
| Assists | Jordan Woodard (4.7) | Taylor Braun (3.9) |
We'll have our post game recap up immediately following tonight's action, but for now please feel free to sound off here with your thoughts before, during, and after the game.
