NORMAN — Buddy Hield took over once again for Oklahoma.
Hield scored a career-high 33 points to lead the No. 3 Sooners to a 87-74 win over Creighton on Saturday afternoon at Lloyd Noble Center.
The Sooners (8-0) had cruised through much of their non-conference, not trailing in the second half since their season opener at Memphis.
But the Bluejays pushed the Sooners plenty, clawing back from a 14-point first-half deficit to within one with just more than nine minutes remaining.
It was Hield's nine consecutive points during a stretch that lasted about a minute and a half that put the game away.
