• Oklahoma shot .581 from the field, .444 from 3-point range (8-for-18) and .833 from the free throw line (15-for-18) in a 73-49 victory over Maryland Eastern Shore to close out its non-conference schedule.

• Oklahoma's .581 field goal mark was its third best of the year and marked the fifth time it shot better than .500 this season. OU has 46 percent or better from the field in seven of its last eight games and has shot under 44 percent twice this year.

• Sophomore guard Steven Pledger scored a game-high 19 points for his eighth game this year in double figures. Pledger upped his team-high scoring average in OU's wins to 15.1 points. He is shooting .440 from 3-point range (22-for-50) in those eight victories. He was 3-for-4 from deep tonight.

• Freshman guard Cameron Clark finished one rebound shy of a second double-double. He racked up 14 points and nine rebounds while adding two blocks (career high) and two assists (tied a career high). He has scored in double figures in four of the last six games and is averaging 13.7 points and 6.2 boards over that six-game stretch.

• Junior forward C.J. Washington came off the bench to record a career-high-tying nine points (second straight game) on 4-for-4 shooting. He added two rebounds and two blocks.

• Sophomore forward Andrew Fitzgerald finished with 11 points on 4-for-6 shooting. It was the 11th time in 14 games and eighth in the last nine he scored in double figures.
