11. Oklahoma Sooners - 10-0

After a big win over Arkansas, Oklahoma's surprise unbeaten start continued as one of the last few teams in NCAA Basketball without a loss. Their lone opponent of the week was against Green Bay, one of the worst teams in the sport for the past couple of years, though they've been much better to start this year.

That being said, the Horizon League program still wasn't a real match for Coach Porter Moser and the Sooners. It started close but the game quickly got out of reach, with the Big 12 team running up the score for an 81-47 win.

Rivaldo Soares led the team with 13 pts off the bench, while Otega Oweh was the lone starter with 10+ points for the Sooners with 12. Javian McCollum was more of a distributor in this game, dishing out eight assists, along with nine points. As a team, Oklahoma shot 52% from the field and allowed just 30% on Green Bay's side.

The lone game for the Sooners this upcoming week is arguably their toughest to date of the season, taking on North Carolina in a neutral site battle. After losing to Kentucky in the CBS Sports Classic, look for the Heels to be highly motivated to give Oklahoma a loss.
