March Madness has dwindled down to the Sweet 16 and one of four matchups on Thursday will see Texas A&M battle Oklahoma live from California.
The Aggies toppled Green Bay, 92-65, on Mar. 18 and followed it up with a thrilling 92-88 overtime victory over UNI on Sunday to advance this far. Alex Caruso picked up 25 points in the latest win. Caruso averages a team-best 3.5 rebounds per game, while Danuel House paves the way with 21 points per game.
The Sooners overcame CSU Bakersfield, 82-68 on Mar. 18 and followed it up with an 85-81 win over VCU on Sunday to advance to the Sweet 16. Buddy Hield led the way with a 36-point effort against VCU and has averaged a team-leading 31. 5 points per game thus far.
Texas A&M is riding high after coming back from a 12-point deficit with 44 seconds left to come from behind and defeat UNI in overtime.
"That's not something I think I'm going to ever forget," said Alex Caruso of the history-making feat, according to ESPN.
The huge victory and momentum swing didn't go unnoticed by Oklahoma, who will try not to cough up any big leads if it gets them tonight.
"It was crazy," Hield said via ESPN. "What they did was remarkable and I respect their fight. When we play them, if we get a big lead, we can't take that lead for granted because we know they're capable of making a run."
The winner of this game will meet the winner of the other West bracket matchup between Oregon and Duke in the Elite Eight.
