Oklahoma is returning 10 players from its 01-02 roster and four of them are starters. Oklahoma is also coming off a 1-4 season taht included a Final Four appearance. Leading the team will be senior All American candidate Hollis Price. Price averaged 16.5 ppg, 3.1 rebounds, 2.5 ass, and 1 steal pg. Rounding out the other four solid starters are Ebi Ere (big 12 newcomer of the year last year) 14.6 ppg, 5.8 rebounds, 1.6 ass, and 1 steal pg; Senior PG Quannas White (Big 12 All-Newcomer Team last season) led the team in assists in 27 of 36 games including 19 of 21 final games. He avg 7.6 ppg, 4.7 ass, and 1.3 steals per game and shot .408 from 3 pt range.; Jabahri Brown is a jr center who avg 4.8 ppg, 5.7 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 1.2 steals pg.; OU's 5th starter is freshman Kevin Bookout who was recruited as the nations 10th best high school senior. He avg 30.6 ppg, 16.2 rebounds and 4 blocked shots and 3.1 steals pg in highschool, he also shot .843 from the field and .706 from 3 pt range.
Alabama won its two exibition games by a combined 4 points! They beat EA Sports 97-94 and beat Athletes in Action 72-71. Alabama also returns 4 starters. *Running behind with work so I have to wrap this up... now. Oklahoma is 3-0 vs Alabama. Other notes... : Oklahoma has won 16 of its last 17 season opening games and are 8-0 in season openers under Kelvin Sampson and there smallest margin of victory in those 8 games was 11 points (vs Coppin state in 94). Look for 3 guard sets from both teams and with good 3 point shooting and free throws in the last 2 minutes to make it go over (I hope
)
GL TO ALL.... questions and comments welcome...
