Oklahoma (16-11, 6-8) lost its third consecutive game for the first time all season, giving Oklahoma State (14-3, 4-10) its fourth Big 12 win of the season.
The Sooners lost 83-66 on the road at their in-state rival.
Here are three takeaways from the game.
LOST IN TRANSLATION
Simply put, Oklahoma forgot how to play basketball. The Sooners were sloppy from the 10-minute mark of the first half to the final buzzer. After a hot start and holding a 10-point lead in the first half, Oklahoma fell apart under the raucous crowd inside Gallagher-Iba Arena.
Lack of attention on defense, cheap fouls, poor shot selection… the list goes on and on. The Sooners simply got ran off the court in Stillwater, Okla.
AUSTIN. REAVES.
Just when the Sooners needed him most, Austin Reaves became the hero Oklahoma did not want but needed. With the Sooners on the canvas, Reaves took it upon himself to nearly single-handedly put Oklahoma in the double-bonus.
Putting the team on his back, Reaves did about everything he could to get the Sooners in the game.
NO MANEK MO PROBLEMS
Brady Manek was M.I.A. against the Cowboys. Manek was one of eight from the floor and was scoreless from behind the arc. Despite scoring a career-high against the Pokes in Norman, Manek could not get anything to go tonight. Having the Sooners go the way Manek goes has its upside, but today was the lowest of lows.
Oklahoma looks to rebound from three straight losses on Tuesday when they faceoff against Texas Tech in Oklahoma City.
