Men's Basketball Falls in OT at Colorado, 94-87

In a game that will be remembered for OU's remarkable second-half comeback, it was Colorado that came away with a 94-87 overtime win in a key contest in Boulder on Wednesday.

The Sooners, down 60-43 midway through the second half and still trailing by 11 with five minutes left in regulation, rode the hot hands of Jason Detrick and Jaison Williams and took a 75-74 lead with 25 seconds to go on two Detrick free throws.

CU's David Harrison immediately answered with a field goal to put the Buffs back up by one before Detrick nailed a 6-footer in the lane with nine seconds left. A Williams foul on Jason Obazuaye with two seconds left sent the CU guard to the free throw line where he made the first shot and missed the second to force overtime.

With Lawrence McKenzie and De'Angelo Alexander already fouled out, and with Jabahri Brown on the bench with an injured hand and Johnnie Gilbert laboring through illness (he did not play in the first half), the Buffs scored the first five points of the extra session and never trailed again. Detrick scored eight of his game- and career-high 35 points in overtime, to no avail, as OU dropped to 16-8 overall and 6-7 in Big 12 action. Colorado improved to 16-8 and 8-5.

Williams scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half, 11 of them during the Sooners' 34-17 run over the final 10 minutes of regulation. Freshmen guards McKenzie and Drew Lavender both went 3-for-6 from three-point range and finished with 11 points each. Fellow freshman Brandon Foust played a career-high 23 minutes and pulled down a team- and career-high seven rebounds.

Oklahoma set a Coors Events Center record for a Big 12 game with a season-high 13 three-pointers on 26 attempts. Five Sooners made at least one trey and four made at least two. Williams led the way with a 4-for-7 effort from beyond the arc. OU also shot a season-high .900 from the free throw line (18-for-20).

OU's guards scored 79 of the team's 87 points (91 percent). Its starting guard trio of Detrick, Lavender and McKenzie combined for 57 points.

Harrison led six Buffs in double figures with 21 points and also grabbed 15 rebounds for his 11th double-double of the year. Colorado outrebounded Oklahoma 44-37.

The Sooners will travel to Kansas to face the 20th-ranked Jayhawks on Sunday at 1 p.m. CST. The game will be televised nationally by CBS.
