2010 Big 12/Pac-10 Hardwood Series Set

April 28, 2010

NORMAN, Okla. - The Big 12 and Pac-10 Conferences have announced the dates and matchups for the 2010 Big 12/Pac-10 Hardwood Series in men's basketball. Oklahoma will play at Arizona on Sunday, Dec. 5.

The Sooners are 5-1 all-time against an Arizona program that has competed in 25 of the last 26 NCAA Tournaments. Last year, OU beat the Wildcats 79-62 in Norman.

The majority of the Big 12/Pac-10 Hardwood Series' games are scheduled for December 2-5, with three taking place outside the four-day series window. The matchups mirror the ones that took place in the fall of 2009, with the road team from a year ago hosting this season.

The Big 12 held a 9-3 advantage in Hardwood Series contests last season and leads the three-year series, 20-16. In 2009, the 12 contests drew more than 110,000 fans. In the three years of the event, more than 355,000 fans have come through the turnstiles.

The Big 12/Pac-10 Hardwood Series will be in its fourth year after starting competition during the 2007-08 season. Additional components of the 2010 series, including the start times and television broadcast information, will be announced at a later date.
