THE STARTING FIVE
- The Sooners dominate in the paint, averaging 44.0 paint points per game (PPPG), the third most in the nation, while holding opponents to just 22.9 PPPG. They shoot 57.1% on 2-point attempts, sixth nationally and second in the SEC. Leading the charge is All-American center Raegan Beers, who scores 12.1 of her 17.3 points per game inside the paint. OU’s paint dominance is further fueled by 15.4 offensive rebounds per game (17th NCAA), generating 15.2 second-chance points per contest (10th NCAA).
- OU is excelling on both ends of the court, standing as one of just six teams nationally to rank in the top 20 in scoring offense (88.5 PPG, 4th), shooting percentage (47.9%, 15th), opponent shooting percentage (35.5%, 17th), and rebounding margin (+15.9, 3rd). Notably, four of the last five NCAA champions were ranked in the top 20 of each category when they lifted the trophy.
- In the latest ESPN bracketology on Jan. 14, Oklahoma was tabbed as a No. 4 seed, which would provide hosting duties in the tournament for the second time of the Baranczyk era (2022). Of Oklahoma’s 29 regular season opponents, 14 are in the latest bracket on ESPN, including four from its non-conference slate (UNLV [W], Duke [L], Louisville [W] and Michigan [W]).
- If the Sooners score 70 points on Thursday, they’ll tie a program record for consecutive games of 70+ points, matching the mark set by Baranczyk’s teams over the first 18 games of her Oklahoma tenure.
- The Sooners head into Thursday’s game ranked No. 12 in the latest NET rankings and No. 13 in the AP poll. Oklahoma has appeared in every AP poll this season, beginning the year at No. 10 and climbing as high as No. 8. The team is currently riding a streak of 19 consecutive weeks in the AP poll – the fourth-longest streak in program history and the longest since a 40-week run from 2015 to 2017.
LAST TIME OUT
Raegan Beers scored 16 points and added six rebounds, and No. 10 Oklahoma rolled past Texas A&M 77-62 on Sunday. The Sooners (14-3, 2-2 SEC) bounced back from a loss to Mississippi State on Thursday to claim their first home SEC win in their first season in the conference.
SERIES HISTORY
Thursday features a renewed rivalry as former Big 12 foes Oklahoma and Missouri meet for the 60th time. The Sooners hold a narrow edge in the all-time series, leading 30-29. OU has dominated in Norman with a 16-9 record, while Missouri has the advantage in Columbia at 14-10 and at neutral sites, leading 6-4.
Oklahoma enters the matchup on a six-game winning streak in the series. The Sooners’ last win came on March 8, 2012, with a 70-59 victory in Kansas City, Missouri’s last game in the Big 12.
UP NEXT
The Sooners head to Columbia to take on No. 2 South Carolina on Sunday at 2 p.m. CT (3 p.m. ET). The game will air nationally on ESPN with Courtney Lyle and Carolyn Peck on the call.
The contest is Oklahoma’s sixth top-25 matchup of the season. The Gamecocks are the defending national champions and have won 67 straight games at Colonial Life Arena and 51 straight regular season SEC games.

American Idol Crowns Missouri Native Winner of Season 24
American Idol‘s latest installment has come to end. After a notable season that brought contestants to Hawaii and featured a tribute to Taylor Swift, Season 24 wrapped with a three-hour long episode that saw hopefuls Jordan McCullough, Hannah Harper, and Keyla Richardson compete for the final spot.
In the end, Missouri native Harper took the crown. In the first round of the finale, Alicia Keys stepped in as a guest mentor for contestants, and Harper performed a bluegrass rendition of the Grammy winner’s chart-topping hit, “No One.” In the second turn, Harper sang a song she wrote herself, titled “Married Into This Town,” and reprised “String Cheese,” another song she penned and memorably sang for her audition, for the last round.
During a previous interview with Music Mayhem, Harper said that she grew up playing “bluegrass gospel music in churches every single weekend from age nine until I was 16.” She was drawn to singers like Dolly Parton and Shania Twain, who impacted her approach to music.
“I was raised super conservative, and so I knew of Dolly Parton, and we didn’t listen to a bunch of her music, but she was definitely somebody that I was drawn to. So extravagant. It’s so fun. And she’s such a good showman,” Harper said. “But I was a big Shania Twain fan, like early ‘90s Shania. That was the one tape that we had on, on the regular that my mom let me listen to.”
This year’s season saw judges Lionel Richie, Carrie Underwood, and Luke Bryan relocate the famous “Hollywood Week” for contestants who make it past auditions — trading Los Angeles for Nashville. There was also a special Ohana round in Hawaii that brought 30 finalists before an “industry” panel that included Kelly Sutton, the first female full-time host of the Grand Ole Opry, and Cheryl Porter, a vocal coach and Broadway star, and Rolling Stone‘s own Co-Editor-in-Chief, Shirley Halperin.
Halperin wrote about the experience, while detailing how the show has evolved since its debut over two decades ago. “Each hopeful brought their A game and looked fabulous doing it. How were we to choose? As it turned out, the ones who took the biggest risk — by performing an original song — had an edge,” Halperin noted. “As for our panel, we discussed the contestants’ ages and how they handled the stress of competing. We took note of their backstories, and were inspired by them. We recognized unique voices and range. But in the end, we favored musicianship over potential.”

Judge denies Missouri AG’s bid to immediately halt 7-OH kratom sales by American Shaman
A Jackson County judge on Friday denied Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway’s attempt to immediately stop Kansas City-based CBD American Shaman and several affiliated companies from selling kratom products.
The motion for a temporary restraining order, which was filed alongside the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, took particular aim at the more potent 7-OH products, which Hanaway argues are “hazardous opioids” banned by state and federal law.
Jackson County Circuit Judge Charles McKenzie’s ruling Friday stated there are “competing affidavits” from experts on both sides of the argument, following a hearing on the motion earlier this week.
“The court cannot find, based on the oral argument of the parties, the respective competing affidavits presented and the pleadings, whether the plaintiff is likely to succeed on the merits at this juncture in the proceedings in order for the court to grant relief in the form of a temporary restraining order,” McKenzie’s order states.
Hanaway’s argument was backed by sworn statements from an undercover narcotics officer with the highway patrol who said 7-OH is being used to cut fentanyl and a woman whose brother died from a kratom overdose.
Her office also submitted an FDA report that points to 7-OH as “a potent opioid that poses an emerging public health threat” and states health data showing synthetic 7-OH was involved in at least 197 Missouri deaths.
American Shaman submitted statements of its own from five toxicology and addiction experts, who largely said there wasn’t enough evidence to show that 7-OH and kratom posed a public health risk. One who researched narcotics said she had never heard of 7-OH being used to cut fentanyl.
Company owner Vince Sanders’ statement detailed how he came up with the idea to create 7-OH products, which now have an “enormous” demand, particularly among people who need pain management.
Sanders could not be reached for comment about the ruling on Friday.
McKenzie denied a temporary restraining order “without prejudice,” meaning that he would like to see more evidence.
“It is because of this finding that the court determines it necessary to hold an additional hearing,” he wrote, “where it can consider the parties’ respective positions with the potential of testimonial evidence and other properly introduced evidence, all as more fully developed by the parties, in order to further analyze these issues.”
The judge will consider “other injunctive relief sought in the pleadings at a future hearing to consider the issues,” the order states.
Hanaway filed a similar lawsuit Thursday against Relax Relief Rejuvenate Trading LLC, and its owners Dustin Robinson and Ajaykumar Patel.
The group received a warning letter from the FDA for producing 7-OH products last year, similar to one received by Shaman Botanicals.
“This is another step in our ongoing crackdown on kratom manufacturers who flout the law and try to justify endangering Missourians in the name of profit,” Hanaway said in a press release Thursday.
“Our mission is to safeguard Missourians from unregulated and addictive substances, and we will continue to pursue every legal tool available to protect public health and safety.”
