Oklahoma vs. Gonzaga (10:30 p.m. ET)
Mark Few brought back two key pieces from last season’s team, Graham Ike and Braden Huff, while adding transfers Tyson Grant-Foster, Adam Miller, and Jalen Warley. Steele Venters is also back fully healthy for Gonzaga. Venters transferred to Gonzaga in 2023 but missed the last two seasons after suffering a torn ACL and an Achilles injury. Last season, Gonzaga made it to the Round of 32, the first time they didn’t make it to at least the Sweet 16 since 2014.
Oklahoma lost its top seven players who led the team in minutes per game in 2024-25. Sooners Head Coach Porter Moser added eight players this offseason, four freshmen and four transfers. Oklahoma had the No. 11 transfer class, featuring Derrion Reid, Xzavier Brown, Nijel Pack, and Tae Davis. In their first game, Oklahoma had three players with 16 points: Mohamed Wague, Pack, and Brown.
Gonzaga has won their last three games against Oklahoma by at least 12 points and has dominated this matchup lately. The Bulldogs have one of the best home-court advantages in the sport, as they had the second-best scoring margin (24.4) on their home floor last season.
