To say CSU Bakersfield has the deck stacked against them in this West Region game is an understatement. They are the 15th seed in the region with Oklahoma being the 2nd seed and on top of that while this game is technically at a neutral site the game is being played in Oklahoma.
This is the first Big Dance ever for the Roadrunners while the Sooners advanced to the Sweet 16 last season.
In their last games of the season CSU Bakersfield beat New Mexico State 57-54 to win the WAC tournament and Oklahoma lost to West Virginia 69-67 in the Big 12 tournament semifinals.

This game is being held at a neutral site at the Chesapeake Energy Arena Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
CSU Bakersfield
While the Roadrunners are the major underdog in this game they come into the Big Dance hot winners of 10 of their last 11 games including their last 6.
Oklahoma ended the season as the 7th ranked teams in the nation and CSU Bakersfield did not face one top 25 team all season. They only faced one team that is in the Big Dance and that is Fresno State, who they lost to 76-68.
The best team that they played this season may have been Big Dance snub St. Mary;s and the Roadrunners were crushed in that game.
The Roadrunners are led by their defense, which ranks a legit 14th in the nation in opponents’ points allowed and their offense only ranks 182nd in points per game.
CSU Bakersfield does not have a big time scorer, but they have 5 players that are averaging in double figures led by C Aly Ahmed. The top 2 scorers for the Roadrunners are frontcourt players, but it is key that they drain the rock from outside.
Dedrick Basile is averaging 14.5 ppg in the 5-game winning streak and he and Damiyne Durham may have to make it rain 3-pointers for CSUB to have any chance to pull off the big upset.
The Roadrunners are 3-0 this season at neutral site games.
Oklahoma
CSU Bakersfield’s D will be tested in this game by the Sooners’ offense, which ranks 24th in the nation in scoring.
They are led by likely Wooden Award winner Buddy Hield he is the 2-time Big 12 Player of the Year and is averaging 25 ppg. The top 3 scorers for Oklahoma are guards, so the Roadrunners will have to play solid perimeter defense in this game.
Oklahoma had won 3 straight games and 5 of their last 6 games before falling to West Virginia.
The top 4 scorers for the Sooners have started the last 100 games together so they have experience and they will not get rattled in this game even facing a solid Roadrunners’ defense.
