Sooners Set to Clash with Horned Frogs in Kansas City Showdown
As the Oklahoma Sooners prepare to face off against the TCU Horned Frogs, fans are eagerly anticipating what promises to be a thrilling encounter at the T-Mobile Center. The upcoming game, scheduled for March 9th, will see the Sooners looking to capitalize on their impressive performance from the previous season.
Last season's analytics reveal a team that was highly efficient from the charity stripe and within two-point range, boasting a perfect free throw and two-point percentage. Their true shooting percentage also stood at an impeccable hundred percent. This level of accuracy suggests that Oklahoma has honed its ability to score reliably when opportunities present themselves.
The Sooners also demonstrated strong teamwork with an average of 20.7 assists per game, indicating their capability of moving the ball effectively to create scoring chances. With an average of 84 points per game last season, they've shown they can put up significant numbers on the scoreboard.
Rebounding was another area where Oklahoma excelled; pulling down nearly 40 rebounds per game is no small feat and speaks volumes about their control over possession and second-chance points.
However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for Oklahoma; averaging over 20 personal fouls and more than 16 turnovers per game are areas they'll need to tighten up if they want to maintain control against TCU.
Defensively speaking, with almost four blocks and eight steals per contest last year, Oklahoma proved capable of disrupting opponents' plays—a trend they will surely aim to continue in this matchup.
