Clash at Lloyd Noble Center: Oklahoma Sooners to Host South Alabama Jaguars in Men's Basketball

As the Oklahoma Sooners prepare to host the South Alabama Jaguars at the Lloyd Noble Center, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent performance trends. The Sooners have shown a strong game in their past matchups, with an impressive victory over UNC Wilmington Seahawks where they scored 74 points and demonstrated a robust defense with five blocks and three steals. Their shooting was particularly effective, hitting over half of their field goals and maintaining a free throw percentage of 75 percent.

However, consistency has been an issue for the Sooners. In another recent game against Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions, while they secured a win with 66 points, turnovers were problematic as they matched the number of assists at ten each. Despite this challenge, they managed to keep up their two-point shooting accuracy above 59 percent.

The most concerning performance came against Sam Houston State Bearkats where the Sooners fell short by one point in a low-scoring affair. Turnovers were once again a significant concern as they lost possession twenty-one times compared to only six assists.

Looking ahead to the upcoming game against South Alabama Jaguars, it is crucial for Oklahoma to tighten up ball control and maintain their defensive prowess that has served them well in previous games. The home advantage at Lloyd Noble Center should also play into their hands; however, it will be essential for them not only to rely on this but also focus on reducing errors that have cost them valuable points in past games.

Fans can catch all the action from Norman on November 19th at 1:00 AM local time via ESPN+. With both teams looking to assert dominance early in the season, this matchup promises some exciting basketball as each team battles for victory on Oklahoma's home court.
