Three newcomers and two seniors look like they will be the starting five for Oklahoma.

Oklahoma’s men’s basketball team will play in its second and final exhibition Wednesday at 7 p.m. Freshman Je’lon Hornbeak and Isaiah Cousins, along with junior transfer Amath M’baye will join seniors Steven Pledger and Romero Osby when the Sooners take on Central Oklahoma at McCasland Field House.

Oklahoma beat Washburn in it’s first exhibition game last Friday. Before their second game, The Oklahoman caught up with the men’s basketball team to talk about exhibition games and the newcomers.

On Washburn’s rebounding: Yeah, they got some loose balls that we didn’t get. We just have to be a little bit more aggressive as a group. Just be more conscious as the shot goes up and more conscious of the ball going in.

On guys being confused on who was going to rebound it:  Could be a combination of things. Partly that. And just not thinking all five guys. We’re not to that point where we really naturally figure that. I think we’re going to be an okay rebounding team but that’s an area we have to work on. It’s not a real big group.
