Impact Harkless has now come off the bench in each of the last three games in favor of Jacob Groves after starting the first 19 games of the season. This was easily the most productive Harkless has been in a sixth-man role. It's unclear how coach Porter Moser will elect to play this situation the rest of the season.

Only sees four minutes Harkless registered no counting stats across four minutes during Wednesday's 72-62 win over West Virginia.

Impact It was a surprise to see Harkless removed from the starting lineup prior to Wednesday's game and then to see him play just four minutes raises even more questions.

JANUARY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Notches 13 points in win Harkless racked up 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three steals across 34 minutes during Saturday's 79-66 victory over Iowa State.

Impact Harkless has been a solid contributor this season for the Sooners, averaging 10.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.3 three-pointers, and 1.1 steals per contest. Harkless will look to keep pushing in Tuesday's game against rival Texas.

The senior is now averaging 10.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.1 three-pointers. Harkless will look to take advantage of a couple more cupcake opponents before OU gets into conference play.
