Men's Hoops Falls to Texas
January 23, 2024 | Men's Basketball
NORMAN – No. 11/13 Oklahoma men's basketball dropped its first home contest on Tuesday, falling to Texas 75-60 at Lloyd Noble Center.
Junior Jalon Moore led the Sooners with 15 points on 7-for-13 shooting. Moore provided a much-needed spark for OU in the first half, slamming home a pair of thunderous dunks. The Birmingham, Ala., product scored nine points in the opening frame and opened the final 20 minutes with an acrobatic layup.
Texas raced out to an 18-9 start before Moore's back-to-back dunks sparked a 16-2 Oklahoma run. Sophomore Otega Oweh capped the spurt with a fastbreak layup.
Texas punched back, tying the contest at 28 with 2:57 left after back-to-back 3-pointers. The Sooners entered halftime up 33-32.
Moore opened the second frame with a layup before UT answered with a layup of its own. The two programs traded threes and Oweh put the Sooners up 39-37 after a made free throw. Texas strung together a 10-0 run and led 47-39 with 16:23 remaining.
Junior Javian McCollum stopped the scoring spurt with a 3-pointer. After Texas' Kadin Shedrick buried two free throws, Oklahoma scored six unanswered points and narrowed the UT advantage to 49-48.
Both programs traded layups before Texas pushed its lead back to two after Dylan Disu made one of his two free throw attempts. Moore evened the score at 52-all with 12:05 left.
Texas found its offensive rhythm and pushed its lead to double digits over the next four minutes.
Oweh finished with 10 points. Uzan and McCollum each finished with nine points and four assists.
