The Sooners are coming off of a 2024-25 season when they ended their NCAA tournament drought. They entered as a No. 9 seed and lost to eight-seed UConn in the first round.
Oklahoma had a 20-14 regular season record last year but went just 6-12 in the SEC.
Their game against Wisconsin this year won't count against that record, but it will be a good preseason warmup for both squads before the real action gets started.
The Badgers and Sooners last played in 2018, when D'Mitrik Trice put up 25 points on 7-of-8 shooting from deep to lead UW to a 78-58 blowout.
