Oklahoma sends new-look roster to face Northwestern State

Oklahoma lost three starters from last season’s 20-win team, but this Sooners squad might have plenty of depth, as well.After an easy win in its season opener last week, Oklahoma will get another chance to showcase its new roster when it hosts Northwestern State on Monday in Norman, Okla.The Sooners (1-0) enjoyed solid showings from their veterans and newcomers in their 93-60 home win over Lindenwood last Monday.Jalon Moore led all scorers with 22 points, while fellow returning starter Sam Godwin had 11 points and a game-high 15 rebounds.Perhaps more importantly, Oklahoma coach Porter Moser said the duo’s poise helped the rest of the team shed any first-game jitters.”That’s the joy of having retention,” Moser said. “Jalon and Sam, you could see in the shootaround … they were totally sure of what we were doing. I thought they got us out of the gates.”As for the new arrivals, Jeremiah Fears had 16 points, six assists and five rebounds in his freshman debut, and High Point transfer Duke Miles buried 4 of 6 3-pointers and finished with 14 points.”Duke looked like an older guard (Monday),” Moser said. “It was great to see him step in with confidence and (make) those shots. We need it. That’s what we want to do … space (the floor) and continue to use that 3-point line.”
