Before their first meeting this season, on Jan. 30 in Norman, Oklahoma had won seven consecutive games against its in-state rival and nine out of the last 10.
The Cowboys, however, snapped a 12-game losing streak in Norman with a 68-66 win on a three-point bomb by OSU’s three-ball artist Phil Forte with 11 seconds to go that erased a one-point Sooner lead and seized victory from the jaws of defeat.
Oklahoma also has had recent success in Stillwater, where the Sooners have won the last three times they have played at Gallagher-Iba Arena. OU won 74-72 there last season.
