No. 9 seed Oklahoma will face No. 1 seed Virginia at 6:45 p.m. Sunday. Here’s how the Sooners and Cavaliers match up.

POINT GUARD

OU: Jamal Bieniemy, 6-4, Fr., Katy, Texas

Virginia: Kihei Clark, 5-9, Fr., Woodland Hills, California

Edge: Oklahoma. Bieniemy should have the upper hand in the battle of freshman point guards. Bieniemy and Clark do similar things for their teams — facilitate rather than score. Both played in 33 games, and both earned the starting point guard job midway through the season. Bieniemy’s edge comes as a 40 percent 3-point shooter while boasting a better assist-to-turnover rate.
