2. Oklahoma

Record: 4-0 (1.000)

Average Margin of Victory: 8.0 points

Texas has dominated the rival Sooners on the hardwood in the last few seasons. Not only has Terry won all four of his meetings against head coach Porter Moser and the Sooners in the last two years, but Texas also boasts a seven-game winning streak in the Red River Rivalry on the hardwood.

Moser has struggled mightily against the Longhorns during his time as Oklahoma's head coach in the last few seasons. He's 0-6 against the Longhorns at Oklahoma since the 2021-22 season.

The last time Oklahoma beat Texas was by a narrow one-point margin of victory in a matchup in Austin in conference play during the 2020-21 season.

You have to go back pre-COVID-19 pandemic to find the last time that the Sooners topped the Longhorns by a margin of over one point.

What was so impressive about Terry and the Longhorns' wins against the Sooners this past season was the margins of victory in two contests. Texas bludgeoned Oklahoma by a combined 29-point margin in the two meetings between these two teams during the 2023-24 regular season.

Both of Texas's victories against Oklahoma in the season that was were by double digits, including an upset 15-point win for the Longhorns in Norman on Jan. 23.

Terry also led the Longhorns to two clutch victories by narrower margins in their sweep of Oklahoma during the 2022-23 regular season. Texas's win over Oklahoma on Feb. 18, 2023 in overtime was part of a crazy eight-game home winning streak the Longhorns built in Big 12 play to end the 2022-23 regular season.

That eight-game home winning streak in Big 12 play a couple of seasons ago played a big role in helping Texas finish second in the conference standings. It also helped the Longhorns get a favorable path to win the Big 12 Tournament crown in 2023.
