Three things to know about OU vs. UCF
► Jordan Goldwire is known for his defense, but he continues to impress with his scoring. The 6-foot-3 guard only scored more than 10 points in four of his 24 game appearances last season at Duke, but he has done so three times through OU's first six contests.
► OU has struggled with ball control at times this season, and that plays into one of UCF's strengths. The Knights force an average of 15.5 turnovers per game, which they convert into 19.5 points per contest.
► This is the second all-time meeting between OU and UCF. The Sooners earned a narrow 53-52 win over the Knights on Dec. 21, 2019.
