This win ended a two-game losing streak and highlighted the team’s resilience, especially after losing Sam Godwin to injury in the first half. citeturn0news12

Fears, who reclassified to join Oklahoma at 18, has been a standout this season. Standing at 6’4″, he has impressed with his scoring efficiency, playmaking abilities, and defensive skills, positioning himself as a potential NBA draft prospect. citeturn0news18
