Oklahoma basketball owned the headlines this weekend with back-to-back Bedlam triumphs over arch-rival Oklahoma State. In a high-stakes showdown at Paycom Center, the No. 9 Sooners women's team demolished the No. 23 Cowgirls 92-70, marking their 10th straight win and extending dominance in the series to seven straight.
The men's team piled on the pain hours later, handing OSU its first loss of the season in an 85-76 thriller. These victories cap a scorching stretch for OU, proving they're not just surviving the post-Big 12 era—they're thriving.
Women's Sooners Light Up Paycom Center
Raegan Beers stole the show with a
double-double of 22 points and 12 rebounds, fueling Oklahoma's explosive offense. Sahara Williams chipped in 18 points, while Aaliyah Chavez and Zya Vann each dropped 15—all five starters hit double figures.
The Sooners shot a blistering
51.3% from the field and poured in their eighth straight game of 90+ points. They sealed it with a
30-point third quarter, erupting for 13-of-21 shooting and 10 assists to build a 72-56 lead.
This Bedlam clash carried extra weight as the first since OU bolted to the SEC. The Sooners (11-1) now eye a perfect December, hosting North Carolina Central on Dec. 22.
Men's Sooners Seal Bedlam Sweep
Not to be outdone, the OU men grinded out an
85-76 win over the previously undefeated Cowboys. A
clutch 6-0 closing run flipped momentum, boosting the Sooners to 7-3 on the season.
Details on standout performers remain sparse post-game, but the victory stung for OSU, who now lick their wounds after media sessions aired raw frustrations.
What Bedlam Means in 2025
These wins aren't just bragging rights—they signal OU's resurgence. The women's streak is historic, blending elite shooting with unselfish play. For the men, it's a statement against a top-25 caliber foe.
Rivalry games like this keep Oklahoma hoops buzzing, even without annual matchups. Expect ripple effects: boosted recruiting, national buzz, and pressure on OSU to rebound.
