East Texas A&M stuns Oklahoma with historic road upset to open season, adding to Porter Moser's struggles in Norman
The Sooners were a 28.5-point favorite entering the night. Their loss is the second-largest upset in Division-I history in the past three decades.
On Monday night, East Texas A&M came out on top in a historic upset, defeating Oklahoma 68-64 in the first game of the 2026-27 season. The Lions, who have never before claimed a victory over a power conference opponent, dominated the match from start to finish, with Tyler Hendricks leading the scoring at 22 points. Despite trailing by 28 points at halftime and missing their only field goal of the first half, the Lions made an impressive comeback, led by Mohamed Daikite and Alonzo Dodd's back-to-back 3-pointers.
However, the Sooners, favored by 28.5 points, ultimately secured a narrow win. Oklahoma's coach, Porter Moser, faces an uncertain future as his record with the team stands at 95-75, with no NCAA tournament appearances to his name. With a new athletic director in place, the pressure is on for Moser to turn things around quickly if he hopes to keep his job.
