Oklahoma trailed by one to two possessions most of the second half, but with about three and a half minutes left in the game one sequence summed up the Sooners 7th loss in the last eight games.
After allowing the Oklahoma State Cowboys to score four straight points and push the lead up to nine, 51-42, the Oklahoma Sooners cut into that lead with a Tanner Groves layup. Then the defense forced a Kalib Boone missed jumper, leading to what seemed to be an easy Jacob Groves lay-in, but Keylan Boone blocked the shot, leading to a fast break Rondel Walker triple that pushed the OSU lead up to double-digits, 54-44.
