TANNER GROVES NEWS

Nears double-double again Groves logged 16 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 30 minutes during Saturday's 62-60 loss to Baylor.

Impact Groves came just one rebound short of notching his third double-double in the past eight games. The 6-foot-10 senior has also accumulated either double-digit points and/or double-digit rebounds in all but two of these eight contests, and he's averaging 9.9 points and 8.5 rebounds while playing 25.4 minutes during this span. Groves should be considered a consistent threat for double-doubles moving forward.

15 points versus Cyclones Groves accumulated 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 63-60 loss to Iowa State.

Impact Groves helped carry the Sooners' low-scoring offense with a team high in field goal attempts during this lax shooting performance for top-scoring guard Grant Sherfield (1-7 FG, 2-2 FT). The senior center also narrowly finished with the team's second-most points behind forward Jalen Hill (16). Groves has now hit a career-high 56.6 percent of his field goal attempts so far this season, which should continue to make him Oklahoma's No. 2 scorer behind Sherfield moving forward.

Sound shooting in loss Groves provided 14 points (6-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds and five assists over 31 minutes during Saturday's 70-66 loss to Villanova.

Impact Groves helped push the Wildcats to the brink, finishing as just one of three Sooners players to score more than six points in this narrow loss. However, the 6-foot-10 senior also committed three turnovers for the fifth time in his eight starts so far this season. Groves also continued to struggle from deep, decreasing his three-point shooting percentage to the lowest mark of his career (28 percent). While he hasn't been great from the charity stripe, converting just 1.5 of his 2.8 free-throw attempts per game, he still ranks second on the team in points per game (11.1) behind guard Grant Sherfield (16.3) and ahead of his brother Jacob Groves (9.3). Oklahoma's next game will come Tuesday against UM-Kansas City.

Continues prolific rebounding Groves closed with seven points (3-3 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals in 31 minutes during Friday's 66-58 win over UAPB.

Impact Groves once again effectively crashed the boards for the Sooners. The 6-foot-10 senior averaged 5.8 rebounds over 34 last season, marking a slight dip in his production from his final campaign at Eastern Washington, where he logged eight boards per game in 2020-21. Groves has now averaged 10 rebounds over two contests to open the 2022-23 season, though he figures to face stronger competition down low once Oklahoma gets through its early non-conference schedule.

Impact Groves' 17 points tied Malik Curry for the game-high. It was also the Eastern Washington transfer's most in a game since Feb. 12 against Kansas. The senior is now averaging 12.3 points, 5.6 points, and 1.2 three-pointers per contest this season. Oklahoma will close out the regular season against Kansas State on Saturday.
