Oklahoma's Surge: Six Wins in Seven Games

Oklahoma's basketball team has turned its season around, winning six of its last seven games after an initial 2-2 start. This impressive streak began recently, heading into a matchup with Stetson. A critical element contributing to their success has been a marked improvement in ball security, with the team committing single-digit turnovers in five of their last seven contests.

Key players are stepping up, with Xzayvier Brown scoring 21 points in a recent win against Kansas City. While the offense averages a strong 85.1 points per game, the team aims for more consistent two-half performances. A recent concern is the ankle injury sustained by reserve guard Dayton Forsythe, who played only two minutes in the last game.

Stetson, their upcoming opponent, enters the game with a 4-8 record after a victory over Rhodes College. Their leading scorer, Jamie Phillips Jr., is averaging 14.8 points and 5.7 rebounds. This game represents a challenge for Stetson as they face their third major conference opponent of the nonconference schedule, having already played Miami and South Carolina.
