Oklahoma men's basketball cracks AP Top 25 after pair of Big 12 wins
NORMAN — The OU men's basketball team is No. 25 in the AP poll and tied for No. 21 in the coaches poll, which were both released on Monday.
After falling out of both polls last week, OU (18-6, 6-5 Big 12) rebounded with a pair of Big 12 wins. It earned an 82-66 home win over then-No. 21 BYU on Tuesday and a 66-62 home win over OSU on Saturday.
With the OU women's basketball team also ranked No. 23 in the AP poll, it marks the first time both Sooners programs have been ranked in the same week since 2016.
Next up for OU men's basketball is a road game against No. 12 Baylor at 8 p.m. Tuesday. Here's a complete look at the AP and coaches polls.
