The Madness is set as the UConn Huskies welcome the Oklahoma Sooners in a thrilling 2025 first-round NCAA March Madness Tournament matchup.
UConn is not the team they were last year. The Sooners, led by freshman sensation Jeremiah Fears (17 PPG on the season, 22 PPG for the past 8 games), can potentially beat the back-to-back NCAA Champions right in the first round.

Heading into this 2025 March Madness matchup, Oklahoma's 78.8 points per game outpace UConn’s 77.4, while UConn has a rebounding advantage at 35.6 per game to Oklahoma’s 32.1.
Oklahoma can outscore the Huskies, but if the Huskies lock up Jeremiah Fears, that's game over for the Sooners.
Key Stat | Oklahoma Sooners | UConn Huskies |
PPG | 78.8 | 77.4 |

The reality? The UConn Huskies will most likely win.
But our hot take? There is a chance Oklahoma Sooners might send the Huskies back to the pound. That 78.8 points-per-game and 37% 3-point percentage should bounce UConn’s 35.6 rebounds right off the bracket later tonight.
