Game keys and reconnaissance view: # 13 Texas A&M
On Saturday night, SOONERS provided a 65-62 second victory in Faetavil against Arkansas, improving to 15-4 (2-4). Oklahoma fired the lights in the first half, withdrawing seven triangers before confronting the fight offensively in the second half. In the end, the team of Porter Moser made a defensive stop of the clutch, which led to a dip from Jalon Moore – who played 37 minutes – by winning the SOC.
On Tuesday night at 8:00 pm (Secr Network), Oklahoma continues his trip facing No. 13 Texas A&M (15-5, 4-3). The agias come out of a loss of 70-69 in Texas, setting the stage for the second match between SOONERS and AGGIES.
Here is a breakdown of what it will bring to the table while Oklahoma travels to the college station and what they have to do to play while playing money from home: to play while playing money from home:
Scouting Texas A&M
Oklahoma has already faced Texas A&M once on January 8th, where SOONERS led 18 in the second half before a collapse and late explosion of Zhuric Phelps ultimately led to 80-78 loss. Brycen Goodine presented a hereditary performance with 34 points, including nine triplets, but that was not enough to seal the victory.
While SOONERS have already played Aggies, they have not yet seen the star guard Wade Taylor, who was aside with an injury. Prior to the injury, Taylor was an average of 15.7 points, 4.8 assists and 3.3 rebounds. Since then, he has returned for four SEC matches, an average of 11 points.
Taylor’s return gives Texas A&M an additional dimension that Oklahoma did not have to fight with the last time. After his first meeting, Phelps faced 24 and 21 points of performances, but since then he has cooled, an average of only 11.3 points in his last three games, including 7 points in their loss to Texas. In this game, it was Taylor (15 points, 5-8 3PT) and Obaseki (13 points) wore the crime of Aggies.
One thing that has not changed in almost four weeks since these teams last met is that the agias remain an offensive number one team in the country, boasting an offensive bounce rate of 42.7%.
This is where the agias qualify in various key statistics, including their dominant offensive rebound, impressive protection and more:

Keys for the game
Make them beat you behind the rainbow
Many will have to go exactly for Oklahoma to get out of the college winner on Tuesday night. If you are an Oklahoma, you should make Texas A&M beat you deeply.
In the first game, the ages went 9-23 (39.1%) beyond the arc, with six of these nine triplets coming from Phelps, a career of 26.8% shooter from Deep. As a team, Texas A&M ranks 278th in the country in a three-point shooting rate, fighting long-distance range as a whole. When Kentucky confronted them, the agias only fired 7-30 (23.3%) from a deep loss of 81-69.
Texas A&M found its rhythm against Texas on Saturday, hitting 12-23 (52.5%) from Deep, led by Wade Taylor, who went 5-8. Given that agias are not a great shooting team and also fight protectively against the three (ranking 13th in SEC), if they manage to beat you beyond the rainbow, you just have to live with it.
Great representation from the duo of Moore and Fears
SOONERS will need Moore and Jeremiah fear they shoot all cylinders. This is very achievable as they both have been playing some of their best basketball lately.
Fear comes out of his best play in conferences playing, posting 16 points, five rebounds and three assists with just two turnover. After a section where he made 4+ rpm in three straight games, he has already cleaned it, performing only two turnover in the last two games, although he has played an average of 32.5 minutes per game.
Meanwhile, Moore continues to make a constant contribution. He entered 37 minutes on Saturday, ending with 13 points and six rebounds at 6-14 firing from the pitch. Previously, Moore had 22 points against South Carolina and a 29 -point trip against Texas.
If they were able to repeat the shape they showed in the Arizona game – where fears and Moore combined for 26 and 24 points respectively – SOONERS could have a real shot to pull a disorder.
Continued the success of three points
Texas A&M is well aware of what Oklahoma, although inconsistent, is capable of – more substantially, what Goodine can do. In the first match between the two teams, SOONERS fired an impressive 14-24 (58.3%) of a three-point scope. Goodine, who led the nine fee made threes in this game, goes out of a game in Arkansas, where he hit three triphoners in the first half.
Oklahoma’s three-point shooting remains a force in the last games, with SOONERS hitting 8-17 (47.1%) of Deep in his victory over South Carolina. In the first half against Arkansas, they contacted 7-16 (43.8%) beyond the arc. If they manage to maintain this form of shooting the road against Texas A&M, it will give them a real shot when downloading a disorder.
For SOONERS, it all starts with Gudin, which is a consistent threat of three, especially at great times. However, not only goodine can affect deep. Luke Northweather, who played 13 minutes against Arkansas – four less than Sam Godwin and two more than Mohammed Vague – can also find success beyond the arc. SOONERS will need any part of the perimeter to maintain pressure on Texas A&M and potentially withdraw the disorder.
