NORMAN — Lloyd Noble Center was supposed to stage a shooting showcase Tuesday night.
Creighton came to town as the nation’s best three-point shooting team. But the Bluejays were just 7 of 30 from deep and their leading scorers, guards Ty-Shon Alexander and Mitch Ballock, left Norman with little to show for on the stat sheet.
In what has become the norm, it was defense that carried Oklahoma as it beat Creighton 83-70 in front of a crowd of 4,480. The Sooners moved to 10-1 with just one game remaining before Big 12 play begins.
After trailing 10-4 to start the game, the Sooners went on a 20-2 run.
