He played the fewest minutes among players who played for the Sooners today. It wasn’t a bad performance from Godwin.

Soares had an offensive rating of 125 and a usage rate of 14. Sure, it was only five points, but Soares had a really nice game and scored his points in key situations.

He seemed to always make the right play, even though that wasn’t scoring much.

His offensive rating was 51, and his usage rate was 18. Putting his missed late free throw aside, Darthard played a solid game. He drilled a three and played good defense. Darthard just needs to knock down free throws late in the game, especially on the front end of a 1-and-1. Oweh’s game-winner was great, but that could have been avoided if Darthard had made two free throws.
