Javian McCollum - Leads team in scoring McCollum logged 23 points (9-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Thursday's 88-72 victory over Central Arkansas.
Impact McCollum had scored just 23 total in his previous two games but rebounded Thursday, shooting over 50% from the floor while draining five threes in his season-high scoring effort. McCollum is just one of two Sooners to be averaging double-figures in scoring, slotting in just behind fellow guard Otega Oweh at 15.0 points per contest. McCollum has scored at least 14 points in nine out of 12 games this season.

Sam Godwin - Collects season-high 14 points Godwin totaled 14 points (4-6 FG, 6-8 FT) and seven rebounds over 22 minutes during Thursday's 88-72 victory over Central Arkansas.
Impact Godwin started his 11th game for the Sooners and played more than half the game for just the fifth time this season. In the process, he tallied a season-high in points while more than half of his rebounds came on the offensive end. As a guard-oriented team, Oklahoma is a bit thin up front with Godwin joining fellow forwards Jalon Moore and John Hugley as the only three bigs seeing consistent playing time. With the Big 12 season about to unfold and the abundance of quality big men within the conference, strong play from all three will be vital to the sustainability of the Sooners' success.

Milos Uzan - Mass production Uzan totaled 17 points (8-12 FG, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, one block and four steals over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 72-51 victory over Providence.
Impact Uzan had not recorded more than 10 points or five rebounds in any contest up to this point but exploded for an unexpected double-double to go along with four swipes on the defensive end. The sophomore guard did come up empty in the assists department after having averaged seven in his previous three games, but more than made up for it with this surprising performance from the field. It's worth monitoring Uzan who played a season-high 34 minutes, but it's more likely he'll revert to his modest offensive role in future games, having averaged 7.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 29 minutes per game coming into the contest.

Otega Oweh - Scores 20 in big win Oweh contributed 20 points (9-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 25 minutes during Thursday's 107-86 win over UAPB.
Impact The sophomore wing shot a season-best 81.8% from the floor en route to his second 20-point effort of the season. Oweh is averaging 15.7 points 4.7 boards and 2.3 steals on 46-for-67 (68.7%) shooting this season.
NOVEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
John Hugley - Steps up in starting role Hugley ended Thursday's 107-86 win over UAPB with 15 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 19 minutes.
Impact It was the first start of the season for Hugley, who despite merely matching his season average in minutes responded with a double double. Hugley has been an impressive per-minute producer for the Sooners this year, averaging 12.0 points and 6.1 boards in just over 19 minutes per game, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the minutes begin to uptick as the season progresses.
NOVEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
John Hugley - Steps into starting five Hugley is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
Impact Hugley will enter the starting lineup for the first time this season, sending Sam Godwin to the bench. The 6-10 transfer from Pittsburgh has certainly been more impactful than Godwin when on the floor, averaging 11.5 points and 5.5 rebounds in 19.2 minutes per contest thus far. Hugley showed great promise as a redshirt freshman during the 2021-22 campaign, averaging 14.8 minutes and 7.9 rebounds in just under 30 minutes per game and this could be a sign of greater things to come should head coach Porter Moser start to let him loose.
