Oklahoma Falls in Road Battle to Wichita
December 14, 2019 | Men's Basketball
WICHITA, Kan. - Oklahoma fell in a road battle to Wichita State on Saturday, 80-75, at INTRUST Bank Arena.
Erik Stevenson scored 16 points and grabbed seven rebounds to lead Wichita State
A late three-point basket by Tyson Etienne gave the Shockers the lead, 67-66, and the Shockers were able to hold on, limiting the Sooners to 37.3% shooting from the field.
Wichita State relied on the three-ball early, knocking down four shots from beyond the arc in the first ten minutes to open a 14-8 lead. Trading run-for-run, a 9-0 Sooner stretch gave Oklahoma the edge before a 6-0 answer handed the 20-15 lead back to Wichita State.
Though the Shockers limited leading scorer and Wichita State transfer Austin Reaves to four first-half points, the Sooners took a 37-33 lead into the locker room, fueled by a 15-point opening half by Kristian Doolittle.
Doolittle lead the way for the Sooners, finishing with 22 points on an 8-of-22 effort as De'Vion Harmon added 14 for Oklahoma.
The Sooners weathered a 12-0 run by Wichita State midway through the second half and cut the deficit to 75-72 with under a minute remaining but were unable to complete the comeback.
Next up, the Sooners end a five-game road stint as they take on Creighton in Omaha on Dec. 17.
