Oklahoma men's basketball selected to finish 12th in SEC preseason poll

Oklahoma men's basketball has been projected to finish 12th in the SEC's preseason poll, which was released on October 13, 2026. The Sooners, coached by Porter Moser, will fight to improve their standing after a season in which they recorded 21 wins and were runner-up in the College Basketball Crown Tournament. Florida leads the poll as the favorite to repeat as SEC champion, followed by Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Alabama in the top five. Unlike previous seasons, no Oklahoma players have made the preseason All-SEC teams or were selected for Player of the Year recognitions. The Sooners return Xzayvier Brown and Derrion Reid as their key returning starters.
