Jan. 16, 2010

• Oklahoma (11-6, 2-1) posted a 66-61 win over Missouri (14-3, 2-1) on Saturday at Lloyd Noble Center. The victory snapped Missouri's nine-game winning streak.

• OU improved to 112-94 all-time against MU and to 64-21 against the Tigers in Norman. The Sooners have won 13 of the last 19 meetings.

• Junior Cade Davis recorded his first career double-double for OU, finishing with 15 points and a career-high 11 rebounds (previous career high was four on seven occasions). Davis, who became ill this morning, received IV treatment before the game and at halftime.

• Senior forward Ryan Wright scored a career-high 12 points and tied a career high with eight boards (his most in an OU uniform). Wright's five field goals were also a career high and his 27 minutes were his second most of the season.

• Guard Willie Warren finished with a game-high 21 points, his most since scoring 26 against UTEP in the All-College Classic in Oklahoma City on Dec. 21. The sophomore also had four rebounds and five assists.

• Freshman guard Steven Pledger scored 10 points and established career highs with five rebounds and two blocked shots.

• Missouri scored the game's first 10 points before a Pledger 3-pointer put the Sooners on the board at 14:00 mark of the first half.

• The Sooners responded to the 10-0 deficit with a 12-2 run to knot the score at 12-12. Missouri led 32-27 at halftime.

• Trailing 44-38 midway through the second half, OU outscored the Tigers 28-17 the rest of the game. A Warren free throw on a 3-point play with 6:59 left put the Sooners ahead for good.

• Tommy Mason-Griffin committed seven turnovers, the most of his career, after totaling two turnovers over the previous four games combined. The Sooners tallied a total of 20 turnovers on the day, their most since giving the ball away 22 times last March at Missouri.

• MU committed 11 turnovers to OU's 20, but the Sooners posted a 9-7 advantage in the points-off-turnovers category.

• After shooting .563 from the free throw line over the previous three games, the Sooners posted a .824 figure today (14-17). Leading the way was Warren, who was 8-for-8 from the charity stripe. The sophomore was 5-for-10 against Oklahoma State on Monday.

• Senior guard Tony Crocker sustained an early ankle injury and played just five minutes on the afternoon (two minutes in first half). Crocker has started 112 of his 119 career games (including the last 83).

• After limiting Oklahoma State to a .275 field goal mark Monday, the Sooners held Missouri to .359 field goal shooting today. In its 11 wins, OU is giving up just 62.5 points a game and is holding opponents to .386 shooting from the field.

• The Sooners improved to 9-0 at home this year and have won 29 of their last 30 games at Lloyd Noble Center.
