Preseason

Coaching Change

On March 14, 2011, Oklahoma fired Jeff Capel, after the Sooners had back-to-back losing seasons for the first time since 1967. Capel led the Sooners to a 17-36 record since Blake Griffin left for the NBA.[2] Overall, Capel was 96-69 in five seasons. Capel received a $1.75 million buyout from Oklahoma.[3] On April 2, 2011, it was announced that Lon Kruger would leave UNLV to become the Sooners new coach. Kruger will be paid about $2.2 million annually.[4]

Preseason Poll

The Sooners were picked to finish 9th in conference play.[5]
