Oklahoma Sooners basketball tickets are hotter than they have been since the days that the team was coached by Billy Tubbs and the Big 12 Conference was dominated by three time All-American power forward Wayman Tisdale. The Sooners of Norman, Oklahoma are well known for their powerful football program, but when it comes to basketball, the Oklahoma Sooners are just as tough as any of the other Big 12 powerhouse teams, whether your talking about the Kansas Jayhawks or the Texas Longhorns.
Because they are one of the best NCAA college basketball programs in the country and because the Sooners home arena, the Lloyd Noble Center, has less than 12,000 seats available for each game, finding tickets to an Oklahoma Sooners basketball game is extremely difficult. Although never attaining an NCAA National Championship in basketball, the Sooners do have the distinction of ranking second in most tournament wins without a championship, right behind Illinois of the Big Ten. Their best showing ever was when the Sooners made it to the NCAA Tournament Title Game in 1988, where they lost to a tough Kansas Jayhawks team that they had beaten twice, previously in the season.
Even without a national superstar playing for the Oklahoma Sooners right now, Coach Kelvin Sampson has this team on the winning track as of late. Regularly receiving high rankings in the AP polls, this team is a quiet but dangerous team that is able to win the Big 12 Conference Title on any given year. Even against teams like Texas Tech, the Longhorns, the Jayhawks, the Aggies or in state rivals, the Oklahoma State Cowboys, the Sooners often outplay their opponents and always give their fans an exciting show on the floor. As this program grows stronger and more competitive under Coach Sampson, it will be harder and hard for anyone to find seats to see this amazing team play.
With all this tradition and excellence on the court year after year, you cannot afford to miss out on what will surely be another great year for the Sooners Basketball Team and their fans. There are a lot of Sooners fans in the area and around the country and seats for these games are often sold out months in advance of game day, so the time to get your hands on some Oklahoma Sooners Basketball Tickets is now.
