Sooners Set to Battle Mountaineers in Morgantown Showdown

As the Oklahoma Sooners prepare to face off against the West Virginia Mountaineers at the WVU Coliseum, fans are eager to see if their team can bounce back from a series of challenging games. The Sooners have shown both resilience and areas for improvement in their recent performances, which will be crucial as they head into this upcoming contest.

In their last game against Southern University Jaguars, the Sooners fell short with a score of 70-79. Despite outscoring the Jaguars in fast break points by double and securing more total rebounds, turnovers proved costly for Oklahoma, with 27 turnovers compared to Southern University's 16. This was a significant increase from their average over previous games and an area that will need tightening up.

The game prior saw the Sooners struggle offensively against North Carolina Tar Heels' defense. Scoring only 52 points, they shot just 26 percent from the field and an abysmal four percent from beyond the arc. However, they did manage to gather more offensive rebounds than North Carolina and turned those into second-chance points.

Against UNLV Lady Rebels earlier in December, Oklahoma showed better form despite a loss of 76-92. They excelled with assists leading to an assist-turnover ratio of 1.22 but were outdone by UNLV's higher shooting efficiency both inside and outside the paint.

As they approach this next game on February 17th at WVU Coliseum in Morgantown at 6:00 PM local time (GMT+0), it is clear that minimizing turnovers will be key for Oklahoma if they wish to secure victory away from home soil.
