It is unclear exactly how far back the Oklahoma team dates but it seems the team was formed in the mid-90's.

However, this trend did not continue with the Oklahoma team barely placing in the top ten at the [[NCT]] from 2000-2003. The team placed in the middle of the pack at the ICT during this period.
