With seven league losses, Oklahoma’s hopes for post-season play may be fading.

OU lost to Iowa State in Norman Monday night, 74-75. The Sooners have lost five of their last seven Big 12 games and dropped to 3-7 in the league. That means OU would have to go 6-2 the rest of the way to get to 9-9 in the Big 12. A  .500 mark in the Big 12 is many times the standard to get in the NCAA Tournament.

Oklahoma has a solid nonconference record and their schedule is rated as one of the toughest in the nation.

On Saturday, OU faded in the second half and fell at West Virginia, 71-79. It was only the second Big 12 win for the Mountaineers (10-12, 2-7), who are at the bottom of league standings.

Brady Manek led the Sooners with 18 points, Aaron Calixte added 17 and Kristian Doolittle pulled 12 rebounds.

OU’s Christian James struggled from the field last week, going a combined 3 of 19 from the field against Baylor and West Virginia. He was just 1 of 10 from the field, missing all four of his 3-pointers, but was 8 of 8 from the foul line.
