The Oklahoma men’s basketball team tips off exhibition play at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Lloyd Noble Center against Northeastern State.
The Sooners are coming off a 14-18 year, but return four of their five starters from the 2010-11 season.
Junior forward Andrew Fitzgerald is the team’s leading returning scorer. Fitzgerald averaged 12.6 points and five rebounds per game last season.
The game against Northeastern State will be coach Lon Kruger’s first look at his team against another program since being named men’s basketball coach in April.
“It’s an opportunity to get in front of people for the first time in a game setting,” Kruger said. “We’ll see what we can transfer from practice to the game.”
The Sooners play their second and final exhibition game against Washburn at 2 p.m. Sunday.
Oklahoma begins regular-season play at 7 p.m. Nov. 11 against Idaho State.
