NORMAN – University of Oklahoma men's basketball head coach Porter Moser announced the Sooners' 2022-23 non-conference schedule Wednesday.
OU will play seven non-conference games at Lloyd Noble Center and a total of13 games against out-of-conference opponents.
"Once again, our non-conference schedule is one of the best in the country," said Moser. "We play 18 Big 12 games and then add Arkansas, Florida, Alabama and Villanova out of league play, making our schedule elite."
OU opens its slate of games with an exhibition against Oklahoma City University on Tuesday, Oct. 25 at Lloyd Noble Center.
The Sooners play four consecutive home contests to begin the regular season.
OU opens the 2022 season against Sam Houston State Monday, Nov. 7 and concludes the week with a contest against Arkansas-Pine Bluff Friday, Nov. 11. The Sooners are 5-0 all-time against Sam Houston State

OU then hosts UNC Wilmington Tuesday, Nov. 15 and South Alabama Friday, Nov. 18. The Sooners hold a 2-1 mark against USA and will face UNCW for the first time.
"Last year the students made a huge difference in making Lloyd Noble Center a great college basketball venue," said Moser. "I look to further my efforts with the students and show them how important they are to our OU basketball family. They bring an energy to the building and their presence impacts our program. Our home non-conference schedule will provide an excellent opportunity to see our 2022-23 team."
