Oklahoma 64, Texas A&M 54: Romero Osby scored 19 points and the Sooners rode double-digit point totals from four players to a win over the Aggies in the Oklahoma City All-College Classic.
Osby shot 5-of-9 from the field, knocked down all nine of his free throw attempts and added seven rebounds for Oklahoma (7-2), which took a 28-27 lead into halftime.
Neither team established much in the way of offensive flow in the first half, with the Aggies (7-2) struggling through a 14-minute stretch in which they made just two of their 10 field goal tries. Elston Turner led Texas A&M with 17 points and Ray Turner added 12, but it was Oklahoma's scoring depth that made the difference.
Junior guard Cameron Clark pitched in 17 points for the Sooners - his first double-digit effort of the season - and Buddy Hield came off of the bench to contribute 12. Oklahoma's reserves outscored Texas A&M's 33-13.
After a 6-0 Aggie run tied the game at 41-41 with 12:06 to play, the Sooners answered with eight straight points as part of a 15-3 run that put the game away. Steven Pledger rounded out OU's key scorers, adding 10 points and nabbing a game-high three steals.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The Sooners are 30-10 all-time against the Aggies, winning for just the second time in the last eight meetings... 19 Texas A&M turnovers led to 20 points for Oklahoma... Led by Osby's perfect 9-for-9 effort, the Sooners were stellar from the free throw line, finishing the game 18-for-19.
