NORMAN — No. 14 Oklahoma (3-0) will welcome a record-number of elementary school students to the Lloyd Noble Center on Friday morning when it hosts Oral Roberts (2-2) for its annual Field Trip Day game. Tip is set for 10:30 a.m. CT on SEC Network+ with Chad McKee and Pooh Williamson on the call. Brian Brinkley and Carolyn Baker will call the action on the Sooner Sports Radio Network, with Danny Gonzales calling for Los Sooners.Ā 

Oklahoma has won seven straight Field Trip Day games, including five under Jennie Baranczyk by an average margin of 35.0 points. That stretch includes a 66-point win over Western Carolina in 2024, the fourth-largest margin of victory in Lloyd Noble Center history. A record 8,039 students are registered for Friday's game, surpassing last season's mark of 8,030.

FIELD TRIP DAY FAN INFO

Admission is free for all non-school fans. Please arrive early and enter through the north doors, as student grouping may slow other entrances. Regular season ticket locations will not be available.

LAST TIME OUT

No. 14 Oklahoma (3-0) defeated San Jose State (0-2), 98-44, on Tuesday night at the Lloyd Noble Center in Norman, marking the Sooners' fifth 3-0 start in six seasons under head coach Jennie Baranczyk. The 54-point margin of victory was tied for the seventh-largest under the sixth-year head coach and second-largest of the season, trailing a 57-point win on Sunday against Morgan State.

Oklahoma has scored at least 90 points in each of its first three games for the first time since the 2014-15 season. The program record for consecutive 90-point games to open a season is six, set in 1989-90. A fourth straight 90-point outing on Friday would give OU the second-longest such streak to open a season in program history.
