Providence Friars Notes
Josh Oduro totaled 10 points (3-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block across 27 minutes during Saturday’s 84-69 win over Rhode Island. Oduro was inefficient, but he nonetheless contributed to Providence’s well-balanced attack — which featured all five starters hitting double-digit scoring. Ranking in the top-250 qualifiers nationwide in offensive rating and two-point field-goal percentage, Oduro is a bounce-back candidate Tuesday against Oklahoma.
Oklahoma Sooners Notes
Jalon Moore logged 19 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 22 minutes during Thursday’s 107-86 victory over UAPB. The junior power forward contributed on both ends of the floor, cleaning up the glass with four offensive rebounds while adding a couple of blocks and a steal on the defensive end to go along with his season high in points and rebounds. In six games, Moore is averaging 10.7 points, 4.7 boards and 1.5 blocks in 20.8 minutes per game.
