OU softball and its fans might still be going nuts about the walk-off victory in the SEC Tournament semifinal.

Nobody would blame anybody, but their recovery time just got cut a bit. It will be No. 1 OU vs. No. 2 Texas A&M at noon Saturday for the championship. Originally scheduled for 4 p.m. on ESPN, it has been moved because of expected storms in the Athens, Ga., area. And it’s now on SEC Network.

The SEC could not have asked for anything more. The No. 1-ranked Sooners and second-ranked Aggies, who have not played each other this season.

Not only a battle for the conference tournament championship, but perhaps a contest for the overall No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

The NCAA Selection Show is set for 6 p.m. Sunday.

OU is coming off making the biggest comeback in SEC Tournament history. The Sooners trailed 6-1 in the third inning. But it ended with freshman Gabbie Garcia blasting a three-run walk-off home run for the 8-6 victory against Arkansas.

OU also set the SEC Tournament record with six home runs in the game. OU had five solo shots before Garcia punctuated the thriller.

Texas A&M? The Aggies have been dang-near untouchable in earning their spot in the championship.

A&M walloped South Carolina 12-4 on Thursday. That was nothing, however, compared to what the Aggies did against rival Texas.

No. 2 vs. No. 3 turned into a massacre. A&M destroyed the Longhorns 14-2 in five innings to earn the right to play the Sooners.

The path couldn’t have worked out better for Patty Gasso and company. Playing LSU and Texas A&M means OU will now have played all the top teams in the SEC.

The Sooners took out the Tigers 4-1 in the quarterfinal. Now? Time to see what OU does vs. A&M.

A championship, after all, everybody cannot wait to watch.
