Oklahoma Sooners Basketball History

Overall

The Sooners played their first season in 1908. From 1908-1980 the Sooners won their conference nine times and made the NCAA Tournament four times. The 40s were good for the Sooners. They won the conference five times. They didn’t make the tournament a single time from 1947 until 1979.

Billy Tubbs became head coach in 1980. His first two seasons at the helm were very forgettable. However, in 1982, the Sooners’ eventual all-time leading scorer Wayman Tisdale burst onto the scene. Tisdale is the most decorated player to ever attend Oklahoma. During his time with the Sooners, he was a three time all American, three time Big Eight Player of the Year, and leads the Sooners in career points. Tisdale helped lead the Sooners to multiple Big Eight Championships and multiple Tournament appearances. In the 1984-1985 the Sooners finished 31-6 overall and a 13-1 conference record. They went on to win the Big Eight and made it to the Elite Eight round of the NCAA Tournament.

The 1987-1988 season was perhaps the Sooners best season under Tubbs. They finished with a 12-2 conference record and won the Big Eight again. Additionally, they finished with 32 overall wins and made the National Championship. Unfortunately, they fell to Kansas in the National Championship. Tubbs’ last season was the 1993-1994 season and he finished his career at Oklahoma with a 333–132 overall record.

Sampson, National Coach of the Year

Kelvin Sampson became head coach in 1995. Sampson was named National Coach of the Year by the AP after leading the Sooners to a 23-9 overall record in his first year. After the 1995-1996 season, the Sooners moved to the Big 12. The Sooners lost 11 games in each of their first three seasons in the Big 12. Fortunately, the Sooners made the Tournament in each of their first three seasons.

The Sooners had a masterful run from 2000-2002. They had an 84-19 combined record over those three seasons. Additionally, they won three straight Big 12 Championships and had three straight trips to the NCAA Tournament. The 2001-2002 season ended with the Sooners losing in the Final Four. The 2002-2003 season ended with the Sooners losing in the Elite Eight. Sampson left for Indiana in 2006, and finished with a 280–108 overall record.

Jeff Capel III coached the Sooners from 2006-2011. The Sooners managed to make the Tournament twice under Capel. Their 2008-2009 season was Capel’s best. They shot out to a 12-0 record led by All-American Blake Griffin. The season ended with them finishing 30-6 and getting to the Elite Eight. Griffin went on to be drafted 1st overall by the Los Angeles Clippers. After a couple of rough seasons, Capel was fired in 2011.

Lon Kruger was hired in 2011. After an underwhelming start in 2011. The Sooners went on to make the NCAA Tournament four seasons in a row from 2012-2013 through 2015-2016. The first three all resulted in first round exits. However, the Sooners made it to the Final Four round of the 2015-2016 NCAA Tournament. They went on to the tournament three more times under Kruger but never made it past the Round of 32. He coached multiple NBA players like Indiana Pacers guard Buddy Hield and Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young. Kruger retired after the 2020-2021 season. He finished his career at Oklahoma with a 195–128 overall record and a 90-89 conference record.

Porter Moser is the current coach at the University of Oklahoma. In his first season at the helm, the Sooners finished 19-13 and made the second round of the NIT. He currently holds a 28-19 overall record.
