Oklahoma softball seeks bounce-back in Big 12 tournament
The Oklahoma Sooner softball team enters the 2024 Big 12 Tournament this week as a 2 seed behind the Texas Longhorns. It’s the first time OU isn’t at the top in 12 years.
But the Sooners still have a chance to earn the top overall seed in the NCAA Tournament if they can win the Big 12 Tournament this week.
It hasn’t been as clear a run to this point for Patty Gasso’s team, which lost a three-game series at Texas and a three-game series at home against the Oklahoma State Cowgirls. Everybody in the world of NCAA softball knows the Sooners can flip the switch, however, and run past any and every team they face.
Oklahoma won Game 3 at home against Oklahoma State last week by a score of 8-2 to secure the 2 seed in Oklahoma City. The top of the Big 12 standings features three of the top four teams in the country: the Sooners, Cowgirls and Longhorns.

Oklahoma is sandwiched between their two rivals at No. 2. Texas is No.1 and Oklahoma State is No. 3.
