Big 12 Basketball Know the Foe Wrap-up
When coach Mark Pope's inaugural Big 12 team opened its season on Nov. 6, the expectations for most outside of the program were low. The Cougars were coming off of a 19-15 campaign that included a 6th place finish in the West Coast Conference and zero postseason opportunities. The prognostication for the BYU basketball team's first season in what is widely considered America's premier college basketball league was bleak. Of the 14 schools, the Cougars were projected to finish 13th. Most fans would have settled for an NIT berth and a couple of notable upsets.

Know the Big 12 Basketball Foe: BYU to face dangerous Sooners squad
The Oklahoma Sooners fell out of the A.P Top 25 with their recent road loss to UCF in Orlando. With losses in 3 of their last 4 games this drop in the polls makes sense. However, the realty is that Oklahoma is a likely tournament team with a roster capable of beating almost any team in the country. A win in Norman for the BYU Basketball team would be of the Quad 1 variety and would certainly give them boost in not only the polls, but also on their NCAA Tournament resume. With their own NCAA Tournament hopes in potential danger the Sooner's are in a must win situation prior Tuesday's clash. Here is what Cougar fans can look for in the matchup.
