Texas vs Oklahoma Stats

Texas Longhorns

The Texas Longhorns are struggling in basketball this season, currently sitting at 0-3 after losing to Texas A&M, Auburn, and Tennessee. Despite the efforts of freshman Tre Johnson and guard Jordan Pope, the team is facing challenges with rebounds and defensive efficiency. Johnson, a potential lottery pick, is leading the team in scoring, while Kaluma has been a strong asset in both scoring and rebounding. Texas ranks 37th overall according to KenPom, with strong offensive numbers but room for improvement on defense. In power rankings, they are ranked 46 with impressive offensive stats such as field goal percentage and three-point shooting. Defensively, the Longhorns need to work on limiting their opponents' field goal percentage and improving their rebounding.

Oklahoma Sooners Analysis

The Oklahoma Sooners basketball team is ranked 43rd overall with a 129th strength of schedule according to KenPom. Despite some notable wins against strong teams, their non-conference net rating was low due to weak opponents and lack of true road games. They have struggled with recent losses, including a defeat against Georgia where they had a halftime lead but ultimately fell short. Jalon Moore leads the team in scoring, shooting efficiency, and rebounding. They rank 22nd in Adjusted Offensive Efficiency and 91st in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency. Offensively, they score an average of 81.3 points per game with solid shooting percentages, while defensively allowing 71.1 points per game. The team struggles with rebounding, ranking 232nd in total rebounding percentage. The Sooners have a power ranking of 211 and are ranked 40th for offense and 178th for defense. They have a 13-3 overall record and are 7-9 against the spread. Overall, the team has shown potential but needs to address weaknesses in their schedule and rebounding to improve their performance.

Texas team on a winning streak faces struggling Sooners in upcoming game

The Texas team has demonstrated exceptional talent, boasting a winning streak of seven consecutive games in this series. Despite recent losses to Auburn and Tennessee, they managed to cover the spread in both instances. Conversely, the Sooners have struggled, failing to cover the spread in their last five games. Noteworthy player Tre Johnson showcased his skills with an impressive 26-point performance against Tennessee's formidable defense, indicating potential for continued success in the upcoming game. Additionally, the team's top three scorers are shooting below 40% from three-point range. With Kaluma expected to deliver a strong performance following a disappointing showing against the Vols, Texas is poised to dominate the boards.
