OKLAHOMA SOONERS NEWS

Jalen Hill - Solid outing despite cold shooting Hill finished with two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 37 minutes during Saturday's 61-50 victory over Iowa State.

Impact Hill logged his worst scoring performance of the season outside of when he failed to put up any points in the season opener versus Sam Houston. The 6-foot-6 senior was still able to salvage Saturday's outing by continuing to crash the boards while also registering once of his more productive defensive performances of the 2022-23 campaign. Hill has now averaged 10.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 0.6 blocks per game this season. He'll look to recover from this disappointing shooting performance when Oklahoma heads to Kansas State on Wednesday.

Milos Uzan - Seven dimes in win Uzan closed with seven points (2-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and seven assists over 34 minutes during Saturday's 61-50 victory over Iowa State.

Impact Uzan posted a season high in assists as the Sooners overcame the Cyclones, the latter of which has now lost nine of their last 13 games. The 6-foot-4 freshman has not been the most explosive scorer this season, but he's posted double-digit points in five of the last eight games. Uzan is also averaging 9.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists while playing 31.0 minutes per game during this span. He'll look to get back above double-digit scoring Wednesday at Kansas State.

Jacob Groves - Leading scorer in win Groves recorded 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt) and five rebounds over 25 minutes during Saturday's 61-50 win over Iowa State.

Impact Groves led all players in this low-scoring win over a stumbling Iowa State squad. This also marked the first time that the senior big man scored in double figures since shifting into a role off the bench over the last seven contests. The 6-foot-9 wing also saw his most extensive playing time since the Dec. 31 loss to Texas. Groves averaged 2.0 points and 1.5 rebounds while playing 10.2 minutes per game across the previous six games, so it's most likely that his fantasy value will return to a minimal level for Oklahoma's last two regular-season games.

Sam Godwin - Records productive outing off bench Godwin logged 12 points (4-6 FG, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and one block in 23 minutes during Saturday's 85-83 OT loss to Texas.

Impact Godwin matched his season high for points and recorded his second-most rebounds of the 2022-23 campaign while also playing a season high in minutes versus Texas. However, this increased playing time was likely due in part to the extended nature of Saturday's overtime defeat. Godwin has now averaged 5.4 points and 3.5 rebounds while playing 13.6 minutes per game across his 27 appearances this season.

Tanner Groves - Provides scoring burst in win Groves supplied 16 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-8 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 79-65 win over Kansas State.

Impact Groves notched one of his better shooting performances of the 2022-23 campaign, as he came up just one point shy of his season-high for points. The 6-foot-10 senior also posted his most field-goal tries of any game this season. However, part of this production could have come due to the early exit of Wildcats starting center David N'Guessan (illness), who was limited to just two minutes Tuesday. Groves has now averaged 9.8 points and 6.8 rebounds per game this season.

C.J. Noland - Steady minutes decline Noland (coach's decision) did not take the court in Tuesday's 79-65 victory over Kansas State.

Impact Noland had a starting role to begin this season and even averaged 18.3 mpg through a 10-game stretch that started Jan. 4. His role has since steadily declined, as the sophomore logged exactly six minutes in each of the two games leading up to Tuesday. With Noland's minutes on the fritz, the extra playing time has gone to Otega Oweh and a re-emerging Joe Bamisile.
