For the second consecutive season, Oklahoma is 10-0 heading into the Jumpman Invitational.Last season, the Sooners lost in the event to begin a slide that ultimately left them out of the NCAA Tournament.But heading into this season’s event, where 14th-ranked Oklahoma will take on No. 24 Michigan on Wednesday in Charlotte, N.C., Porter Moser’s team is hoping to keep its momentum rather than squandering it.Freshman Jeremiah Fears is a big reason why this season’s Sooners have a chance to take a step forward.Fears is averaging 16.7 points, 4.7 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 2.4 steals.”He has that gear to him,” Moser said of Fears. “It’s very hard to switch with Fears because he’s got that gear.”After turning the ball over an average of 4.4 times per game over the first five games, Fears has averaged just 3.2 turnovers per game over the last five.Wednesday’s game will be just the second for the Sooners against a ranked opponent.Oklahoma beat then-No. 24 Arizona 82-77 on Nov. 28 behind a season-high 26 points from Fears.The Sooners are coming off an 80-65 win over Oklahoma State on Saturday.”You talk about getting to the ball, being aggressive to the basketball, deflecting basketball, I mean, they’re tough,” Michigan coach Dusty May said of Oklahoma. “They have a very good system on both sides of the ball. They play aggressive. They play with physicality. They have great self-awareness or team awareness where they play to their strengths.”The Sooners’ leading scorer is Jalon Moore, who is averaging 17.5 points per game.Oklahoma is among the top-tier teams when it comes to steals, averaging 10.2 per game, led by Fears.Michigan (8-2), meanwhile, ranks near the bottom of Division I with 15.3 turnovers per game.
