Oklahoma Basketball: Buddy Hield Takes Over Late as Sooners Stave Off Upset

Over an 11 minute span in the second half with LSU leading No. 1-ranked Oklahoma by 14 points, the Sooners rode the by now all-too-common hot hand of Hield and went on a 28-13 run to take its first lead in the game, 66-65, at the 4:07 mark in the second half.

The OU All-American made seven of his eight treys in the game in the second half, three of them coming in a critical three-minute stretch that seemingly sucked the life out of a fired-up LSU team that had the Sooners on the ropes for a good portion of the contest.
