OU basketball snubbed from NCAA Tournament is 'absolute insanity': Social media reacts
The OU men’s basketball team did not make the NCAA Tournament.
The Sooners were revealed as the first team to miss the cut during Selection Sunday. They fell short despite being ranked as the No. 46 team in the NET rankings.
OU has yet to make the NCAA Tournament under Porter Moser, who's in his third season as the team's head coach.
Here's what people on social media had to say about OU (20-12, 8-10 Big 12) not making the cut:

Social media reactions to OU men's basketball not making the NCAA Tournament
@OU_MBBall devastated by three key injuries last month of the season & couldn’t overcome losses to mostly ranked @Big12Conference teams. Horrendous luck. Nothing more.

20 wins in the hardest conference in America. Zero quad 2–4 losses.
That be said, can’t lose 6 of your last 8 games and expect to be in. Just kick in the stomach for Oklahoma.— Jeffery Ashby (@Jaajr_2122) March 17, 2024
On another note, absolute insanity that OU missed the cut. Unbelievable. I’m sick.

Me looking around for a team from Oklahoma in the tournament. The state was terrible as a whole this year. pic.twitter.com/Jgb1KXInkM

Last year, #OKState was the first team out. This year, it’s the #Sooners.
That’s rough.— Jacob Unruh (@jacobunruh) March 17, 2024

Oklahoma plenty good enough to have been an NCAA tournament team, but the Sooners lost 6 of 8 and finished 8-10 in their conference. There's just not a lot to complain about, it's called the bubble for a reason. But it's a big bummer after the start to the season they had.

Oklahoma fans will spend the entire day whining about why we should be in instead of realizing it should never be this close. Porter can’t get it done in the NIL era.

I still don't see how firing Porter Moser is the answer. He took a team picked to finish at the bottom of the toughest conference in the country and won 20 games. If not for injuries he probably adds 1-2 games to that total and at that point OU is safely in the tourney.

Filling out a bracket is way less fun when you can’t pick your team to make an irrationally deep run in the tournament.
