ThuneTakes: How high could Oklahoma climb in NCAA tournament seeding? OUInsider's Parker Thune takes a look at where the Sooners could be seeded when March Madness rolls around

Stays in strong form Reaves had 16 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds and eight assists across 35 minutes in Saturday's 79-72 victory over Iowa State.

Impact Reaves last took the court when he put up 23 points against Texas on Jan. 26 -- his best scoring output since back on Dec. 6. He then missed back-to-back games due to COVID-19 protocols, but was back and productive as if nothing had ever happened. As Oklahoma charges up the rankings, look for Reaves to continue to be a driving factor in the team's success.
