Oklahoma Plays Country Roads After Defeating WVU
After Oklahoma defeated WVU 77-63, the Sooners wrapped up the night by playing “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” OU queued up John Denver’s version of the song following the final buzzer of the game.

Unless the two meet in the conference tournament, Wednesday will be the last time that West Virginia and Oklahoma matchup together in the Big 12. Since WVU entered the conference, OU leads the series 15-9. At one point, the Sooners won seven games in a row between February 2020 and February 2023.
Oklahoma is 10-2 when playing the Mountaineers in Norman.
OU will depart to the SEC with Texas this upcoming summer as the Big 12 welcomes four departing Pac-12 schools in Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah.
