Junior forward Jalon Moore and senior wing Rivaldo Soares also contribute to the team's success. Oklahoma is ranked 37th overall by KenPom and is projected to be a 9-seed in the NCAA Tournament. There are some injuries to be aware of, with Javian McCollum questionable due to a shoulder injury. Oklahoma has a power ranking of 268, ranking 125th in offense and 65th in defense. Offensively, they shoot well from the field and free throw line, but struggle with three-point shooting. Defensively, they excel at defending the three-pointer but struggle with free throws.
