Circle this game.....
The game on November 18th against East Carolina, in Myrtle Beach, will be an interesting early test. It's a "transfer trap", with a team that usually sucks but took advantage of the transfer portal.
They are big and will be a great early test for Oklahoma.
Couple of notes:
PG: Triston Newton (6'5'' 190 - Sophomore)
Averaged 9 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game as a true freshman.

Led the Pirates in 3-point field goal percentage, free throw percentage, total assists (114), assists per game, total steals (37) and steals per game (1.7)
SG: Wynston Tabbs - (6'2'' 195 - RS Sophomore)
Transfer from Boston College. High level player against P5 competition. Averaging 13.9 points, 3.9 points and 2.7 assists per game as a freshman at BC. Scored 18 against NCST, 24 against Minnesota, 23 against ST Johns, 15 against Louisville, 16 against Rhode Island, etc.

PF: Vance Jackson - (6'9'' 230 - Senior)

Transfer from South Carolina. Started 12 games at South Carolina as a sophomore. Averaged 5 points and 4 rebounds per game. Scored in double figures 7 times. 22 and 4 against Georgia, 10 and 7 against Alabama, 13 and 3 against Vanderbilt, 6 and 5 against Kentucky, 8 and 2 against Mississippi State, 9 and 8 against Virginia... Nothing spectacular, but a good experienced guy in the paint who has years playing against high level competition.

Couple of notes:
- They return all 5 starters (who won't be starting this year)
- They lost 8 games by 6 points or less
- They got some good transfers from Boston College, New Mexico, and South Carolina
- They are a very big team...
