How Butler stunned Oklahoma: Dawgs show fight behind Chuck Harris, freshmen heroics

Butler changed defenses and maybe its season.

The Bulldogs, trailing by 13 points midway through the second half, went on a late 11-0 run to force overtime and closed OT on an 8-0 run to beat Oklahoma 66-62 in college basketball Tuesday night at Norman, Okla.

On a team featuring so many seniors, underclassmen Chuck Harris, Simas Lukosius and DJ Hughes allowed Butler (6-3) to end a five-game road losing streak dating to last season.

Harris scored 26 points, featuring 4-of-7 on 3-pointers. His floater pushed Butler ahead 52-49 with 22 seconds left in regulation, and his 3-pointer gave Butler the lead for good 63-62 with 35 seconds left in OT.
