• Entering the game at the 14:43 mark of the first half, Longar Longar returned to action after missing the previous two games with a broken bone in his lower right leg. The senior finished with six points and five rebounds in 27 minutes of action.
• OU improved to 107-77 all-time against the Cyclones and 59-21 in games played in Norman. Oklahoma has won nine of the last 13 contests between the two squads and the last six played at Lloyd Noble Center.
