Tech is 2-2 all-time against Oklahoma, having last played against the Sooners in a 1995 preseason National Invitation Tournament game at the Georgia Dome. The Jackets won that matchup 83-72.

A year earlier, Tech bested Oklahoma 89-85 in the Rainbow Classic in Honolulu. The Jackets’ only trips to Norman, Oklahoma, came in 1985 and 1982, and both were losses.

Oklahoma joins Cincinnati, Georgia and Northwestern (in Milwaukee) as part of Tech’s nonconference schedule for the next season.
