The Oklahoma Sooners are off to their first 8-0 start since their last trip to the final four during the 2015-2016 season with their 72-51 win over Providence in the Big East-Big 12 battle.
The Sooners had four players in double figures, led by a sensational performance from Javian McCollum. McCollum had 19 points, seven rebounds, four assists, and three steals. It was his sixth consecutive game in double figures and the seventh time this season.
The Sooners are about to embark on a pivotal stretch of game where they’ll face Arkansas in Tulsa at the BOK Center and a top 10 North Carolina squad in the Jumpman Invitational in Charlotte. With five nonconference games remaining, the Sooners have a chance to enter Big 12 play in great shape to make some noise.
Saturday in Tulsa will provide another measuring stick game for Porter Moser’s squad in the early part of the season. Through eight games, they’ve measured up quite well.
