The Oklahoma Sooners traveled to Lubbock in desperate need of a win. Taking on the Texas Tech Red Raiders, who also started 0-2 in conference play, Oklahoma would have to bring their best in one of the better home environments in the Big 12.
After a sluggish start, that had Oklahoma down by seven at the midway point of the first half, the Sooners began to come to life. The Sooners rallied and ended the first half with a one-point lead over Tech.
The two sides traded buckets for the first three minutes of the second half, and then the Sooners took over.
Tied at 27, Oklahoma went on a 14-4 run over the next seven minutes of game time to take a 41-31 lead with roughly 10 minutes to play. During the run, they hit four three-pointers, getting two from Milos Uzan, one from Grant Sherfield, and one from C.J. Noland.
Though the Red Raiders were able to force overtime behind a fantastic run from former Sooners guard De’Vion Harmon, it was Jalen Hill and the Sooners who took over in overtime to pick up the win.
Now at 10-5 and 1-2 in Big 12 play, the Sooners get set for another big-time road matchup, this time with the Kansas Jayhawks in Lawrence.
Here’s a look back at the game in fantastic still images.
