One of college basketball’s four remaining undefeated teams will put its perfect record on the line Wednesday night when No. 7 Oklahoma takes on No. 11 North Carolina.
The Sooners began the year unranked — not receiving a single vote in the AP poll — but they have since rattled off 10 straight victories. Four of those came against high-major opponents, while seven were by at least 20 points. Oklahoma is powered by the dynamic backcourt of Otega Oweh (14.9 points per game) and Siena transfer Javian McCollum (14.3 points per game).
The Tar Heels enter the matchup on a two-game losing streak, having dropped back-to-back games to No. 5 UConn and No. 14 Kentucky. Senior guard RJ Davis has been a bright spot. He scored 26 and 27 points, respectively, in those losses, and he is now averaging 21.6 points per game.
Though fifth-year center Armando Bacot is averaging a double-double, the Tar Heels have struggled both on the glass and in the paint. In the last two losses, UConn and Kentucky combined to out-rebound North Carolina by 21.
Both teams were victorious in last year’s Jumpman Invitational with Oklahoma downing Florida and North Carolina outlasting Michigan.
