Patrick Murphy has been talking about this series for over a year, and it's finally here. Alabama softball will host the Oklahoma Sooners this weekend at Rhoads Stadium for the first time as an SEC opponent.

It will be the first meeting between the two teams at Rhoads since 2015 super regionals. The Sooners are second in the national rankings and SEC softball standings, but Oklahoma has dropped one conference series to Tennessee.

No. 22 Alabama only has one SEC series win, but has at least one win over SEC team it has played so far. This weekend has big implications in the conference and also for postseason seeding.

All three games of this series will be airing on national television with the series running Saturday-Monday instead of the traditional weekend series.
