Senior forward Kristian Doolittle got untracked on offense for the first time in several games, scoring a team-high 27 points in leading the Sooners to the victory, only their second win in the last seven games against the Mountaineers. Fourteen of his points came in the opening half.
Doolittle, who was averaging 14.7 points a game coming into Saturday’s game at the Lloyd Noble Center, had not scored in double figures in his last five games.
Trailing 14-9 early in the game, the Sooners uncorked a 17-2 run over an eight-minute stretch, building a 10-point advantage, and never trailed the remainder of the game.
