Oklahoma Looks to Build Momentum Against Georgia After Gritty Road Win
After a season filled with close calls and growing pains, Porter Moser’s Oklahoma Sooners are hoping their latest win is more than just a blip on the radar. Saturday afternoon, they’ll host the Georgia Bulldogs in Norman, looking to string together back-to-back victories for the first time in over a month.
The Sooners (12-12, 2-9 SEC) are coming off a thrilling 92-91 road upset over Vanderbilt - a much-needed jolt for a team that’s been battling through a brutal conference slate. That win marked just their second in SEC play, but it could be a turning point if they can carry that energy into Saturday’s matchup.
Georgia (17-7, 5-6 SEC), led by head coach Mike White, enters the contest licking its wounds after a tough 86-66 home loss to Florida. The Bulldogs have been up and down in conference play, showing flashes of potential but struggling to find consistency. That makes Saturday’s game a critical one for both programs - one trying to climb out of the cellar, the other trying to stay afloat in the middle of the pack.
Tipoff Time, TV Info, and How to Watch

Sooners’ Season So Far: A Rollercoaster Ride
The 2025-26 season has been anything but predictable for Oklahoma. They started off strong in non-conference play, notching impressive wins over teams like Marquette and Wake Forest. The offense was humming - scoring over 100 points three times before the calendar flipped to January.
But once SEC play began, the road got a lot bumpier. The Sooners dropped nine of their first ten conference games, including heartbreakers against Alabama (83-81) and Missouri (88-87 in overtime). Despite the losses, there have been signs of growth - particularly on the offensive end, where Oklahoma has shown it can score with just about anyone.
The win over Vanderbilt was emblematic of that. The Sooners showed resilience, poise, and just enough defense in crunch time to escape Nashville with a victory. Now, they’ll try to replicate that formula at home.
Georgia’s Recent Form
Georgia, meanwhile, has had a streaky stretch of its own. The Bulldogs have dropped two of their last three, including that 20-point loss to Florida.
When they’re clicking, Georgia is capable of pushing the pace and putting up points in bunches. But defensive lapses and cold shooting stretches have plagued them at times, especially on the road.
What’s at Stake
For Oklahoma, this is about building momentum and salvaging what’s left of the conference schedule. With tough matchups still ahead - including road games at Tennessee and Texas - every win matters, not just for postseason hopes, but for the development of a young roster still learning how to close out games.
For Georgia, this is a chance to stabilize and avoid sliding deeper into the middle of the SEC standings. A road win in Norman would be a statement, and one that could help them build a case for March.
What’s Next for Oklahoma
After Saturday’s game, the Sooners hit the road again for a Wednesday night showdown at Tennessee. Then it’s back home for a pair of key matchups against Texas A&M and Auburn before finishing the season with three of their last four games on the road.
Here’s a look at the remainder of OU’s schedule (all times CST):
- Feb. 14 vs. Georgia, 2:30 p.m.
- Feb. 18 at Tennessee, 6 p.m.
- Feb. 21 vs.
Texas A&M, 7:30 p.m.
- Feb. 24 vs.
Auburn, 8 p.m.
- Feb. 28 at LSU, 5 p.m.
- Mar. 3 vs. Missouri, 6 p.m.
- Mar. 7 at Texas, 7:30 p.m.
With just seven games left, there’s still time for the Sooners to make noise - but it starts with taking care of business at home against Georgia.
