Impact Godwin averaged 5.2 points ahead of Oklahoma's Bedlam showdown with Oklahoma State, but he dropped a highly efficient 20 points in a big-time rivalry win. The center's 14 field goals attempted doubled his previous high from this season. It'll be interesting to see if this performance leads him to be a more assertive shot-taker moving forward.

Available against Lindenwood Godwin (concussion) will be available for Oklahoma's game Monday against Lindenwood, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Earlier in November, it was announced that Godwin was expected to be available Monday, so him being ready then should not be surprising. As a regular starter for Oklahoma's 2023-24 team, he averaged 6.8 points and 5.3 rebounds across his 31 games started. Even though Godwin's field goal percentage then was a career low, he still shot almost 60 percent (59.8 to be exact) and achieved career highs through both his aforementioned rates in points and rebounds.

Expected back for season opener Godwin (concussion) is expected to be active during Monday's opener against Lindenwood, Josh Callaway of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact When asked about Godwin's status, head coach Porter Moser said that "if all goes well" Godwin will return to practice Sunday and suit up Monday against Lindenwood. The 6-foot-10 senior started in 31 games with the Sooners last season, averaging 6.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 0.5 blocks on 18.7 minutes per game. If Godwin encounters any setbacks that prevent him from suiting up, his next opportunity to return would come against Northwestern State on Nov. 11.

In concussion protocol Godwin is in concussion protocol, according to Mason Young of The Tulsa World.

Impact Godwin being in concussion protocol could prevent his participation in Oklahoma's first game of the 2024-25 NCAA season. For the Sooners, it is expected to begin Monday against Lindenwood, giving him just over half a week of recovery time available.

Season-high 17 leads Sooners Godwin finished Saturday's 87-85 loss to Houston with 17 points (6-6 FG, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes.

Impact Godwin tallied a season-high 17 to lead five Sooners in double-figures during what was a surprising offensive outburst against the top-rated defensive team in the country. It was a perfect effort from the floor for Godwin, whose only miss on the night came from the line. The senior forward also added seven rebounds in an impressive effort for Oklahoma that came up just short against the top team in the nation. Godwin had not previously topped six points in any game since Jan. 30 and is averaging 5.3 points and 4.9 rebounds in the eight games since.

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.

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.

Productive outing Tuesday Godwin produced 12 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds and one assist over 15 minutes during Tuesday's 79-75 loss to Kansas.

Impact Godwin logged a season high in rebounds while also matching his season high in points during this back-and-forth contest. The 6-foot-10 junior has not taken on a significantly larger role since transferring from Wofford ahead of this season, though his scoring and rebounding have not taken a step back after moving up to the Power-5 level. This production per game has taken a slight dip during his small four-game sample size in conference play (4.5-4.0-1.0), but he's still shooting an extremely efficient 70 percent from the floor overall during this span. Godwin should continue to see consistent playing time behind starting center Tanner Groves.

Adds 10 points in easy win Godwin amassed 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-3 FT) over 14 minutes during Tuesday's 75-53 victory over Kansas City.

Impact Godwin was extremely efficient in his minimal playing time against Kansas City. As a result, the 6-foot-10 junior increased his field-goal efficiency to 75 percent over nine contests in 2022-23. The Wofford transfer had a very limited role behind big men Tanner Groves and Jacob Groves to begin the season, but he's now averaged 9.5 points and 3.8 boards while playing 15.3 minutes across the Sooners' past four games. Godwin will look to notch double-digit points for the fourth time this season against a tough Arkansas opponent Saturday.

Hits the court after all Godwin (undisclosed) posted two points (1-2 FG), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 14 minutes during Wednesday's 89-77 victory over Citadel.

Impact Godwin was not expected to be ready to go for the game against Citadel but he ended up seeing the court for decent minutes as a reserve. Godwin has started most of the games this season for Wofford so him being used as a reserve was probably the coaches trying to ease him back into action after missing a couple of games.

Appears out again Godwin (undisclosed) does not appear to be available for Wednesday's game against The Citadel, Jordan Majewski of SB Nation reports.

Impact It's unclear what kind of issue Godwin is dealing with. This will likely be the third straight game that he has missed.
