Second weekend of the NCAA Tournament, and OU fans have been conditioned to dive full force into spring football.

Not this year. There will be time for that with Brent Venables and company. But right now? It’s Jennie Baranczyk’s world, and we’re just living in it.

The OU women’s basketball team smoked Iowa in the second round to advance to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2013. And less than 24 hours later? Boom, No. 1-ranked prospect Aaliyah Chavez picked OU over Texas.

The feels, man.

The Sooners go up against UConn on Saturday afternoon.

There is a whole lot more going on in the OU sports world, and let’s get to it. Time for the Unofficial 40 podcast from SoonerScoop.

Murdock summary:

Josh is back from his cruise and in his absence, OU lost a running back battle to Texas A&M for Jonathan Hatton. Where does OU stand at the running back position? Could they be looking to the portal for their next big bruiser out of the backfield? Jennie Baranczyk also pulled off one of the biggest commitments in OU women’s basketball history when Aaliyah Chavez, the nation’s No. 1 player, committed to OU yesterday.

And it seems more and more likely that Porter Moser will return to OU unless some things change quickly. How can OU improve their men’s NIL to truly compete with the big boys? And we’ve got more impressions about the team after another viewing session on Tuesday. We also got to talk to several players after practice. You’ll hear our impressions on the attitude of this team and the development of the offense. OU baseball has won both of its SEC series so far this season but it’s about to get a lot tougher. And softball finally loses their first game of the season. It’s a spring sports jam-packed edition of the Unofficial 40.

All that and all the banter you’ve come to expect from the Unofficial 40 podcast from SoonerScoop.
