Oklahoma Basketball vs Alcorn State Game Not Broadcasted Due to Scheduling Conflicts
Despite the excitement surrounding the No. 21-ranked Oklahoma men’s basketball team as they take on Alcorn State today, fans may be disappointed to hear that the game will not be broadcasted on traditional television channels. Instead, the game will be available for streaming exclusively on SEC Network+.
The game, scheduled for 7 p.m. CST from Lloyd Noble Center in Norman, will be streamed on ESPN+ and SEC Network+, meaning it will not be available on more widely-accessible TV channels like ESPN, ESPN2, or ESPNU. This is due to the fact that SEC Network+ and ESPN+ are often used for games that don’t have national broadcasting rights, which includes matchups involving smaller or non-conference opponents like Alcorn State.
While Oklahoma has been performing well this season, with an undefeated record so far, the decision to limit broadcast options is an unfortunate result of network scheduling and rights allocation. Fans hoping to watch the game on cable will need to turn to online streaming platforms to catch the action.
Game Details:
- Opponent: Oklahoma vs Alcorn State
- Time: 7 p.m. CST, Saturday, Dec. 7
- Broadcast: Available exclusively on ESPN+ and SEC Network+ (not available on TV networks like ESPN, ESPN2, or ESPNU).
While it’s disappointing that the game will not be aired on traditional TV channels, fans can still follow the game through the streaming options provided. Be sure to check your streaming services and make necessary arrangements to catch the Sooners in action.
