Oklahoma vs. Nebraska
Saturday, Jan. 27, 2001
Norman, Okla.- Lloyd Noble Center

  • Ranked 24th in the ESPN/USA Today poll, Oklahoma improved to 15-4 overall and 4-3 in the Big 12 with its 77-66 win against Nebraska. It was OU's third win in a row. Nebraska fell to 9-10 and 2-4.

  • J.R. Raymond tallied a game-high 25 points and led the Sooners in scoring department for the third straight contest. The junior, who was 6-for-11 from three-point range, has made at least five treys in each of the last three games. Sixteen of his 35 three-pointers this year (46 percent) have come in the last three games.

  • Raymond's 20 first-half points tied for the most by a Sooner in a half this year (Aaron McGhee also scored 20 in the opening stanza versus Montana State). All five of his second-half points came from the free throw line.

  • For the first time in his career, Raymond has scored at least 20 points in three straight games. He scored 21 Wednesday versus Texas and 25 last Saturday at Kansas State.

  • Hollis Price registered a game-high seven assists and has led OU in the department in 17 of 19 games this year.

  • OU, which entered the game shooting .729 from the foul line to rank second in the Big 12, made their first 11 free throw attempts today and finished the game 25-for-31 (.806).

  • Aaron McGhee's 20 points were his most since scoring 24 against Texas A&M five games ago. The junior forward began the day averaging a team-high 14.2 points per game on the year but just 6.5 per game over the last four outings.

  • Nolan Johnson entered the game with a streak of 23 consecutive free throw makes and made his first attempt today before missing his second. The senior entered the game with the Big 12's third-best season free throw mark (.887) but was 7-for-10 today.

  • Nebraska committed 15 turnovers today compared to Oklahoma's 12. OU has committed more turnovers than its opponent just twice this year. The Sooners entered the game averaging a league-low 12.9 miscues per game.

  • The Sooners play again Wednesday when they travel to Waco, Texas, to face Baylor at 7 p.m.
