Sooners scoring attack in a win over the host Cowboys.
Buddy Hield added 15 points -
12 In the second half - for Oklahoma (14-7, 5-4 Big 12),
while Ryan Spangler chipped in with 13 points, nine rebounds and a
team-high six assists. TaShawn Thomas recorded 12 points and eight

(14-7, 4-5) with 15 points, but only four after
halftime. Le'Bryan Nash finished with 12 points while Anthony Hickey
added 10 points and eight rebounds in a losing effort.
The Cowboys led 9-2, but lost Nash to his second foul less
than five minutes into the game. Oklahoma State maintained its
advantage, going up 22-10 on Hickey's jumper with less than nine
minutes to go, but the Cowboys were held to just three free throws
over the final 4:32 of the half as the Sooners cut the lead to seven
at the break.
Oklahoma came out fast in the
second half, opening with a 15-6 run to take its first lead on Hield's 3-pointer with less than 15 minutes to play. The Cowboys
got the lead back on Tavarius Shine's 3-pointer with just over 13
minutes to go, but the Sooners held them to just five points over the
next 10 minutes, building a 10-point advantage, and Oklahoma State
could never get closer than four the rest of the way.
