Oklahoma State University vs. University of Oklahoma Matchup Set For December 13
Oklahoma City, OK – One of college basketball’s longest running rivalries is returning to downtown Oklahoma City, this time with both men’s and women’s teams. The Oklahoma State Cowboys and Cowgirls will be taking on the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday, December 13, 2025. General public tickets will go on sale through Ticketmaster on Friday, August 1 at 10 am.
Paycom Center hosted a Bedlam men’s basketball game in December 2024, setting a milestone in the matchup tradition on a neutral site and the first matchup between the two schools since OU’s move to the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The Cowboys/Cowgirls and Sooners have played at least once in every season since 1927-28.
“It was an incredible experience for Oklahoma City to fill the arena with both OSU and OU fans in 2024,” said Paycom Center’s General Manager, Chris Semrau. “We are honored to not only continue to host the Bedlam tradition, but also expand it by adding the women’s game.”
Fans will be able to purchase one ticket to include both games. Game times will be released at a later date, pending television assignment.
