Oklahoma State’s men’s and women’s basketball programs are set to square off against the University of Oklahoma in a much‑anticipated Bedlam doubleheader at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City on December 12.
Fans who follow the Cowboys will get an early chance to secure seats, with a presale opening on July 27, while the general public can purchase tickets starting August 7.
The men’s squad enters its third year under head coach Steve Lutz, a tenure marked by a recruiting surge that has produced the Big 12’s most coveted transfer portal class, raising expectations for a competitive showing.
Meanwhile, the women’s team is already generating buzz, sitting at No. 8 in the early USA Today top‑25 projections for the 2026‑27 season, and will be looking to extend its recent dominance in the series.
A Milestone Bedlam Doubleheader
The matchup will mark the 100th straight season that the two schools have met in Bedlam basketball, underscoring the longevity of the rivalry, and will be the 252nd overall meeting, the third consecutive edition held in Oklahoma City.
Adding to the narrative, the women’s teams will meet for the 118th time and will share the court with the men’s game for the second year in a row, while the Sooners themselves are listed at No. 23 in the same early rankings.
