START HOT

I know I sound like a broken record but the Sooners absolutely need to put a full 40 minutes together. Against the Shockers, Oklahoma was ice cold to start the game and down the stretch. The Sooners need to make shits early and often to gain confidence not just tonight, but for the rest of the season.

GET ON TRACK

Oklahoma has had a slow start to the season, allowing teams that have no business keeping the game close within striking range. The Sooners must put together a win against Creighton, no matter what. With an initial NET ranking at No. 37, the season is set to only get harder for Oklahoma. With a win tonight, no matter how they do it, it will bode well for the Sooners moving forward.

STAY HEALTHY

Obviously something everyone hopes for every game but with Big 12 play right around the corner, Oklahoma can not afford any injuries. Just two games separate the Sooners from the Big 12. As this team continues to mesh, staying healthy with be a major key to playing better.

Oklahoma and Creighton are set to tip-off at 7:30p.m. CT on Fox Sports One.
