Clash at Lloyd Noble Center: Oklahoma Sooners to Host UCF Knights in Women's Basketball Showdown

As the Oklahoma Sooners prepare to host the UCF Knights at the Lloyd Noble Center, fans are eager for what promises to be an exhilarating Women's Basketball game. The Sooners' performance this season has been a roller coaster of highs and lows, but they have shown resilience and skill that could very well tip the scales in their favor for the upcoming match.


UCF Knights VS Oklahoma Sooners

Looking back at their recent games, it's clear that OKLA has both strengths and vulnerabilities. On December 9th against UNLV Lady Rebels, despite a valiant effort, they fell short with a score of 76-92. Their shooting from beyond the arc was less than stellar at 29 percent, and free throw accuracy was alarmingly low at just 46 percent. However, they did manage to outperform UNLV in assists with 22 compared to UNLV's 12.


In contrast, on December 2nd against Grambling State Lady Tigers, OKLA showcased their offensive prowess by racking up an impressive score of 103 points while maintaining a solid field goal percentage of approximately 47 percent. Their defensive game was also on point with seven blocks and ten steals contributing to their dominant victory.


However, when facing ranked teams like Tennessee Lady Volunteers on November 25th where OKLA scored only slightly lower than TENN with a final score of 73-76; it becomes evident that consistency is something the team needs to work on. Despite showing great speed and agility which resulted in fast break points totaling up to an impressive number of thirty-one against TENN – one of their highest this season – turnovers remain an issue.


The key takeaway for OKLA is capitalizing on their ability to assist effectively while tightening up defense against fast breaks from teams like UCF Knights who are known for quick transitions. With home-court advantage and having demonstrated strong offensive capabilities especially in terms of points off turnovers which stood at twenty-three during their game against Grambling State; there is reason for optimism among Sooner fans.


The upcoming game scheduled for December 30th will be pivotal as it could set the tone for future performances by OKLA as they continue through this season’s challenges. Fans can catch all the action live from Norman’s own Lloyd Noble Center or tune into local broadcasts if available – tip-off is set for sharp at noon local time (7 PM GMT).
