Postgame Notes

• Oklahoma snapped a six-game losing streak and posted its eighth straight home win in the Bedlam series with a 77-64 victory over Oklahoma State. It was OU's largest margin of victory over OSU since the 2002-03 season.

• The Sooners' .468 field goal mark was their second best in the last nine games. They held the Cowboys to a .367 shooting performance, the lowest figure by an OU opponent in 10 games.

• OU held a 30-12 halftime lead, limiting the Cowboys to just four field goals on 34 possessions. OSU was 4-for-24 from the field in the first half and 1-for-7 from 3-point range. The second half told a different story, as OSU scored 52 points on .500 field goal and .500 3-point (12-for-24) 3-point shooting.

• OSU's 12 points in the first 20 minutes marked the program's fewest ever in a half of Big 12 play. Its previous low was 16 in the first half of a 1999 game against the Sooners.

• Oklahoma State used a 27-12 run over the first seven minutes of the second half to cut OU's 18-point halftime lead to three (42-39). The Sooners responded with a 16-3 run over the next five minutes to go back up by 16 (58-42). OU stretched its advantage to 20 before settling for the 13-point win.

• The Sooners outrebounded the Cowboys 47-32 and limited OSU to just six offensive rebounds on 38 missed field goal attempts.

• Junior guard Steven Pledger went 3-for-4 from 3-point range and led OU with 17 points. He was 6-for-8 from the field and added four rebounds, two assists and two blocks. Pledger moved into sole possession of fifth place on the OU career 3-pointers list with 173. He needs just 27 points to reach 1,000 for his career.

• Junior forward Romero Osby recorded his seventh double-double of the season (first in eight games) with 16 points and 13 rebounds. He hit eight of his 15 field goal attempts and added two blocks and a steal on defense.

• Junior point guard Sam Grooms scored 10 points, giving him three double-digit efforts in the last five outings (he scored fewer than 10 points in each of the 10 previous games). Grooms added four rebounds and six assists. It was his 10th straight game with at least five handouts. On the year, Grooms leads the Big 12 with his 6.1 assists per game and 3.1 assist-to-turnover ratio.

• Sophomore guard Cameron Clark scored in double figures for the third straight game, finishing with 14 points on 6-for-12 shooting. Clark, who also pulled down five rebounds, is averaging 13.7 points the last three outings after averaging 5.7 the previous seven.

• Senior forward C.J. Washington turned in one of his most effective games of the season, tallying four points (4-for-4 free throws), eight rebounds, two blocks and two steals in a season-high 22 minutes off the bench. His eight boards were his most ever in a Big 12 game.

• Sophomore guard Tyler Neal hit two 3-pointers for the third straight game after registering none the previous eight outings. He finished with nine points and is averaging 9.0 over the past three contests.

• OSU senior guard Keiton Page scored 26 of his game-high 29 points in the second half. All nine of his field goal makes came from behind the arc. He was 1-for-7 in the first half and 8-for-10 in the second.
