Oklahoma basketball: Cyclones rage while Sooners fade away

The Oklahoma basketball team kept things close in the first half, but couldn’t keep pace with the home team in Ames in a 71-68 loss Monday night.

The comes after the Sooners picked up back-to-back wins against TCU and Texas, but also marks their sixth loss in nine tries in Big 12 play.

The Sooners hit the locker room for halftime at the Hilton arena trailing just 37-36, but went cold from the floor in the second half as they failed to hit a 3-pointer after the break.

The loss drops the Sooners to 17-11 overall with a 5-10 conference record, good enough for eighth in the Big 12 currently.
