Three things to know about OU vs. UTSA
► Jalen Hill is coming off a career outing against Northwestern State on Tuesday. The 6-foot-6 junior tallied 15 points, eight rebounds, three assists and three steals, which all at least tied for a career-high. Hill only averaged 17.4 minutes per game last season, but he logged 27 minutes against the Demons and made his seventh career start.
► UTSA is led by Kingston High School alum Jacob Germany. The 6-foot-11 junior racked up 24 points, three rebounds and two blocks during the team's 97-66 win over Trinity. Germany unofficially visited Oklahoma back in 2017, but the former four-star recruit didn't receive a scholarship offer and ultimately committed to UTSA in 2018.
► OU earned a 105-66 win over UTSA when the two teams faced off last season on Dec. 3, 2020. The Sooners boast an all-time record of 4-0 against the Roadrunners, and they've won each contest by an average margin of 24.8 points.
