Schedule conflicts

Feb. 4, a Wednesday, will be a good litmus test.

Oklahoma City's NBA team will host Allen Iverson, Carmelo Anthony and the Denver Nuggets on Feb. 4 at the Ford Center. That same night, OSU hosts Texas Tech at Gallagher-Iba Arena while OU entertains Texas A&M at Lloyd Noble Center.

There are a few other conflicts, the biggest being a Big Monday Bedlam men's game Jan. 26, the same night the NBA team hosts New Jersey at the Ford Center.

One potential conflict is Jan. 9. The night the NCAA football championship game is being played, Oklahoma City's NBA team hosts the Houston Rockets.

There are a handful of other nights when OU's men's team will play the same night the NBA team is home — Nov. 17 (OU preseason NIT game while NBA team hosts Houston); Dec. 10 (OU hosts Maine when the NBA team hosts Memphis).

OSU has not released its non-conference schedule but an official confirmed the Cowboys have home games scheduled on Nov. 17, Dec. 26 and Jan. 6, and an exhibition game on Nov. 5, when the NBA team has games scheduled at the Ford Center.
