Oklahoma (16-8, 6-5) put together their first consecutive wins since beating Kansas State and Texas to open Big 12 play, beating Iowa State (10-14, 3-8) 90-61.
The Cyclones hung with the Sooners for a full half before Oklahoma stepped on the gas to open the final 20 minutes, opening up a 29 point lead in the final period of play.
DOO WHAT YOU DOO
Kristian Doolittle had a solid performance, yet again finishing with his second-straight 20+ point performance. The senior finished the night with 20 points, six rebounds, and two assists to follow up his dominant 27-point game against then-ranked No. 13 West Virginia last Saturday. With outstanding back-to-back efforts, Doolittle should be feeling good heading into Phog Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday.

Williams was a sparkplug in the second half, scoring all of his 14 points in the final 20-minutes. Over the past month, Williams has shown that he can be an x-factor as March quickly approaches.
STARTERS HAD AN APPETITE
For the first time all season, all five Oklahoma starters scored in double-digits. Austin Reaves and Jamal Bieniemy both finished with 12-points, Williams with 14-points, Brady Manek had 18-points while Doolittle led the way with 20-points.
The Sooners head up to play Kansas at 11 a.m. on Saturday on ESPN.
