Sooners Fall to TCU in Fort Worth
January 10, 2024 | Men's Basketball
FORT WORTH, Texas – No. 9/9 Oklahoma men's basketball dropped its first Big 12 contest 80-71 to RV/RV TCU on Wednesday night at Schollmaier Arena.
The Sooners (13-2, 1-1 Big 12) entered halftime down 40-34 after a TCU layup with under five seconds left. Junior Javian McCollum responded with back-to-back 3-pointers within the first 30 seconds of the second frame.
TCU (12-3, 1-1 Big 12) scored seven unanswered points over the next minute and held a 47-40 advantage with 16:57 remaining. Junior Jalon Moore buried a pair of free throws, bringing the TCU advantage back to five. The two programs traded baskets before TCU pushed its lead to 53-44.
Redshirt junior John Hugley IV scored the next six Oklahoma points, cutting the deficit to 55-50. TCU buried two consecutive 3-pointers and never let its lead dip below eight for the remainder of the contest.
Down 78-61 with 2:33 left, Oklahoma made one final push. The Sooners cut into the TCU lead with three 3-pointers. Sophomore Milos Uzan opened the 9-0 run and McCollum capped it with consecutive triples.
The Horned Frogs stopped the Sooner rally with a fastbreak dunk.
McCollum finished with a team-high 17 points and matched his career high with five made 3-pointers. The Fort Myers, Fla., product added six rebounds and five assists. Uzan recorded his second double-double of the season, finishing with 13 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds.
Hugley IV added 14 points off the bench, and Moore tallied 10 points, six rebounds and two steals.
