¢ The Sooners need five victories to attain a 10th-straight 20-win season. OU and Kansas are the only Big 12 schools that have won at least 20 games each of the last nine seasons. Oklahoma State has eight 20-win seasons in the last nine years, while Texas is next with seven.

¢ Oklahoma made its 25th consecutive postseason appearance last year (20 NCAA and five NIT), good for the longest current streak among Division I programs.
