The game was actually much closer than the final eight-point victory margin indicated. Four points was the largest lead by either team until Oklahoma built a five-point lead, 41-36, four minutes into the second half and Texas Tech went ahead by six points, 62-56, with just over two minutes remained in the game.
With 19 points, OU’s Brady Manek logged his fifth game in the last six scoring 18 points or more. Austin Reaves added 16 more for the Sooners. For the second straight game, the duo combined for more than 50 percent of Oklahoma’s points.
