The Oklahoma Sooners fell for the second time away from home on Wednesday night. This time to the TCU Horned Frogs.
The Sooners turned the ball over 14 times and TCU got them into early foul trouble and led by as many as 17 points before OU cut the final deficit to nine. There weren’t many bright spots for the Sooners but one was the play of [autotag]Milos Uzan[/autotag].
Uzan finished with 13 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds on 6 of 12 (50%) from the field. He also took care of the ball only turning it over one time. Uzan has seemed to find himself these last five games.
He’s averaging 9.6 points and 5.4 assists on 48.7% from the field and 35.3 percent from three during that stretch. In the 10 games before that, he averaged 8.4 points and 4.1 assists on 37% from the field and 24.3% from 3.
Porter Moser was asked before the TCU game about the recent play of Uzan. “I’ve seen it in the last three weeks,” Moser said. “He’s just, he’s Los now. The balls got eyes. He’s finding the right guys. When that happens, then your shot feels better. I just think he’s really coming into his own. He’s such a strength of seeing the ball and getting the ball where it goes. I just see his confidence growing and growing and that’s a great sign for us.”
The Sooners hope that confidence continues to grow because if they want to make any noise in the conference, they are going to need Uzan, [autotag]Javian McCollum[/autotag] and [autotag]Otega Oweh[/autotag] to lead the way.
