After losing nine of their first 10 conference games, the Sooners have turned into a completely different basketball team in February and March. Oklahoma has won seven of its last nine games, carrying some notable momentum into the SEC Tournament. Their win over South Carolina was proof of that.

The Sooners have been the defintion of average for most of the season. Despite their recent hot streak, the program is still ranked ninth in both scoring offense and defense. If there's one thing that Oklahoma excels at, it would be shooting from the three-point line. As a team, the Sooners are shooting over 37 percent from beyond the arc.

Nijel Pack and Xzayvier Brown lead the way in scoring for Oklahoma, with both averaging over 15 points per game. Pack has been especially dominant for the Sooners recently, scoring over 20 points in four of his last five games.
