Oklahoma’s Late‑Season Surge
Oklahoma, back in the tournament for the first time since 2022, arrives with a 6‑1 postseason slate. The Sooners peaked at the right moment, rattling off four straight victories over Georgia Tech and Kansas to secure their spot.
What’s at Stake
The winner of the Alabama‑Oklahoma contest will advance to meet the champion of the Georgia‑Texas showdown on Monday, June 15 at 6 p.m. ET, while the loser will tumble into the elimination bracket and face the other eliminated team at 1 p.m. ET.

The game will be televised on ESPN and will also be available through the ESPN app and various streaming platforms, including Fubo. Fans can tune in via the Fubo.tv service, which carries the network’s live feed.
