• OU held its opponent below its season scoring average (at time of competition) for the 20th time in 23 games this season. TCU entered today's contest averaging 69.8 points. On the year, the Sooners are holding their opponents to an average of 17.2 points below their season average in points.

• Oklahoma led 11-2 but fell behind 28-21 before ending the first half on a 10-0 run to lead 31-28 at halftime. The Sooners outscored the Horned Frogs 9-2 to start the second half to go up 40-30.

• Junior forward Ryan Spangler tied career highs with 21 points and 4 blocked shots in 32 minutes of play.
