Jalon Moore Shines for Sooners as Oklahoma Rolls to 3-0 Start
Oklahoma City, OK – Jalon Moore is making headlines early in the season for the Oklahoma Sooners, scoring 21 points in their impressive 85-64 victory over Stetson on Saturday. Moore becomes the first Sooner to achieve three consecutive 20-plus point games to start a season since Buddy Hield in the 2015-16 campaign. With this win, Oklahoma improved to 3-0 and looks ahead to their next matchup against East Texas A&M on Thursday night.
Head coach Porter Moser celebrated his 350th career win on Saturday, and under his leadership, the Sooners are aiming to enhance their record to 26-3 in nonconference home games. Moore’s dynamic play, particularly in fastbreak situations, has become a standout aspect of the team’s performance. His back-to-back dunks in the Stetson game showcased his explosive athleticism. “He’s got to be in everybody’s scouting report for transition,” Moser stated, praising Moore’s relentless energy and ability to outrun defenses.
Moore is currently averaging an impressive 22 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, with fellow teammate Jeremiah Fears contributing 14 points per outing. The Sooners are gearing up for their fourth consecutive home game, seeking to maintain their momentum.
Meanwhile, East Texas A&M heads into the matchup with a 1-4 record, coming off a significant loss to No. 2-ranked Connecticut. The Lions’ leading scorer, Khaliq Abdul-Mateen, averages 11.8 points per game, while Camerin James adds depth as a bench scorer with 7.2 points per game.
As the Sooners prepare for Thursday’s game, fans are eager to see if Moore can continue his impressive start and lead Oklahoma to yet another victory.
