After securing a 69-65 win over fourth-seeded No. 12 Kentucky, the Sooners are looking to continue their winning streak and earn a spot in the final. All four teams in the semifinals are ranked in the top 10 of the AP poll, making the competition fierce. Led by standout players Raegan Beers and Payton Verhulst, Oklahoma has been on a roll, scoring an average of 81.7 points per game over their last nine matches.
