Sooners Seek Victory at Schollmaier Against TCU Horned Frogs
As the Oklahoma Sooners prepare to face off against the TCU Horned Frogs at Schollmaier Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation. The Sooners have been on a commendable run, showcasing their prowess on the court with a series of impressive performances that suggest they're more than ready for their upcoming challenge.
In their most recent game on January 6th against the Iowa State Cyclones, OKLA emerged victorious with a score of 71-63. Their offense was firing on all cylinders, boasting a 47 percent field goal percentage and an even more impressive 40 percent from beyond the arc. The team's free throw accuracy was also noteworthy at an 81 percent completion rate. This offensive efficiency combined with their ability to control turnovers – only committing 11 compared to Iowa State's eight – played a crucial role in their win.
Defensively, OKLA has shown they can hold their ground as well. With three blocks and three steals in that game, they've demonstrated an ability to disrupt opponents' plays effectively. Moreover, they outperformed Iowa State in assists (17-9), which is indicative of better ball movement and teamwork.
Looking back further into December games against Monmouth Hawks and Central Arkansas Bears provides additional insights into OKLA's capabilities. Against Monmouth on December 31st, OKLA secured another win with a score of 72-56 while maintaining high shooting percentages across the board: field goals at 48 percent and three-point shots at an impressive 37 percent.
Against Central Arkansas Bears on December 29th, OKLA put up an outstanding performance scoring an emphatic victory by putting up 88 points while shooting over half of their attempts successfully from both two-point range (55 percent) and from downtown (46 percent). Their defensive efforts were just as strong; eight steals contributed significantly to this dominant display.
The consistency shown by Oklahoma Sooners across these games is not something that can be easily overlooked when predicting outcomes for future matchups. While TCU will have home-court advantage come January 10th at Schollmaier Arena in Fort Worth, Texas; it would be unwise to discount the momentum carried by OKLA.
Fans eager to support or witness whether Oklahoma can continue its winning streak should mark their calendars for January 10th when the game tips off at precisely eight o'clock in the evening local time (Central Time Zone). The action will be broadcast nationally on ESPN2 channel number two hundred nine for those who prefer watching from home or elsewhere outside Fort Worth.
