What a week it was as the Oklahoma Sooners bounced back from their previous struggles by going 4-0 which included a sweep of the Kansas State Wildcats. That’s moved them to 21-14 overall and 11-4 in the conference which is still tied for first place.
After having the week off, the Sooners return to action with a weekend series against the BYU Cougars. The Cougars come in at 15-18 and are 6-12 in the conference. That puts them second to last in the conference. They won their midweek game after being swept by the Baylor Bears.
Needless to say, this is a series Oklahoma has to at least win if not sweep. So, let’s take a look at how you can watch the game and some key players for both teams.
