Prediction
Tanner Groves has generally had a good season in Norman, and he’s played a vital role in keeping this program competitive following a ton of attrition in the wake of Lon Kruger’s retirement. However, he tends to struggle offensively when facing long, athletic bigs. That’s the perfect description of 6’10” center Osun Osunniyi, who averages 3.3 blocks per contest. With that in mind, OU will undoubtedly use Groves to spread the floor and lure Osunniyi out to the perimeter, allowing room for Jalen Hill to cut to the basket and capitalize. It’s been a useful strategy throughout the season, and it’ll likely be a vital part of today’s game.
I’d expect the home crowd to push the Sooners over the top, setting up a matchup with either North Texas or Virginia at the LNC this coming week.
Oklahoma 78, St Bonaventure 70
The crown stays in Norman, so celebrate Jocelyn Alo’s accomplishment with some officially licensed gear.
Oklahoma Sooners softball phenom Jocelyn Alo is officially the HOME RUN QUEEN, holding the all-time record for most career home runs in NCAA History. She takes the distinction from fellow Sooner Lauren Chamberlain, who previously held the record with 95.
Take it away, Plank.

To celebrate the accomplishment, our friends at BreakingT have teamed up with Alo and the University of Oklahoma to bring us some officially licensed gear. The “Home Run Queen” has made this university, this fan base and the sport of softball proud, and this is a great way to show it.
