Part 3/6:
As the first half progressed, Oklahoma’s strategy of quick ball movement and sharp cuts generated numerous scoring opportunities. The Sooners capitalized on defensive lapses from Arizona, exploiting mismatches and executing designed plays with precision. A critical moment came when they managed to execute a perfect high-low entry pass, allowing key players to finish strong at the basket.
Despite Oklahoma’s offensive dominance, Arizona showed resilience. Star player Anthony Del Oro tried to rally his teammates and made impressive drives to the basket, demonstrating the capacity to score effectively. However, defensive lapses often led to easier shots for Oklahoma, creating a significant gap in the score.
