World News – US – OU Basketball: 3 takeaways from Sooners’ 105-66 UTSA routers

OU forwarded Texas-San Antonio 105-66 Thursday night at the Lloyd Noble Center and received a much-needed vote to start the season.

Manek was on fire and scored the best eight 3-point points of his career with 29 points. He also grabbed five rebounds.

Manek opened the second half with three straight 3s. And he went on from there whether there was a UTSA defender on his face or not.

OU created 17 of 34 3-pointers. Tulsa Booker T. . Washington-based product Trey Phipps scored four hits on its college debut. De’Vion Harmon – who finished with 22 points – hit three. Umoja Gibson met two.

But this Sooners win was more important than the usual season opener against a medium-sized opponent.

After an eight-day delay due to COVID-19 positive testing and contact tracing, OU had to enter the field of play before the Big 12 game opened at the TCU on Sunday.

OU was without second striker Victor Iwuakor (as announced on Tuesday), Redshirt Freshman Center Rick Issanza and Freshman Guard Josh O’Garro. That left nine scholarship holders, all of whom saw time on the ground.

Overall, it was a great night for Kruger, who came in with concern about the conditioning of the Sooners as the training schedule had gotten out of hand in the past few weeks.

Then, before jumping, stretching his long arm and diving across Germany, Kuath launched a Kingston product.

It was the big man’s second strong dunk of the night, the other came on a fast break with a nice pass from Phipps in the first half.
