Pop Isaacs Scores Season-High 17 as Oklahoma Beats Fairleigh Dickinson Behind Strong Game From Transfer Guard
Isaacs leads Oklahoma scoring
Isaacs made five of his 10 shots, all but one of which came from beyond the arc. His 17 points led all players and marked his best scoring output since joining Oklahoma.
He also recorded five rebounds, three steals and two assists. Before Friday, Isaacs was averaging 11 points, 4.3 assists and three rebounds per game.
Paint scoring remains limited
Oklahoma scored 24 points in the paint, matching Fairleigh Dickinson’s total in that area. The Sooners’ reliance on three-point shooting and difficulty scoring inside continued despite their size and athleticism advantages.
A tougher schedule approaches
Oklahoma will host Campbell on Wednesday in its final game before a more challenging run. The Sooners are set to face Pitt and Purdue at the Fort Myers Tip-Off on Nov. 24 and 26, respectively.
Oklahoma will then host Syracuse in the ACC-SEC Challenge. Before opening SEC play, the team is also scheduled for neutral-site games against Arizona State and Oklahoma State, followed by a road game at SMU on Dec. 22.
