As a double-digit lead slipped away in the second half Saturday, a sweep at the hands of the Oklahoma State Cowboys looked like it would become the latest disappointment for an Oklahoma Sooners men’s basketball team trudging towards the end of the season. Instead, OU regrouped regrouped in overtime to pull out a 66-62 victory in the Bedlam rivalry at Lloyd Noble Center.
OU ran its overall record to 15-14 overall and 5-11 in Big 12 play. OSU now sits at 13-15, with a 6-10 record in conference games.
The Sooners benefited from a balanced scoring effort that saw five players finish the game with at least 10 points.
