No. 23 Oklahoma 97, Texas Christian 67: Buddy Hield's 24 points led the way as the visiting Sooners wrapped up the regular season with a comfortable win over the hapless Horned Frogs.
Hield was 8-of-11 from the field and 5-of-8 from behind the arc as the Sooners (23-8, 12-6 Big 12) shot 14-of-30 from long range in winning for the fifth time in six games. Isaiah Cousins and Cameron Clark each contributed 18 points and five rebounds for Oklahoma while Ryan Spangler chipped in 10 points and six boards.
Jarvis Ray (18 points) and Kyan Anderson (17) paced TCU (9-21, 0-18), which became the first Big 12 team to suffer through a winless conference slate since Texas A&M went 0-16 in 2003-04. Karviar Shepherd chipped in 10 points for the Horned Frogs, who still have not won since the calendar turned to 2014.
Oklahoma hung 53 points on the scoreboard in the first half and led by 15 at intermission as Hield nailed a 3-pointer in the waning seconds. Hield opened the second half with another 3-pointer and the Sooners never looked back, leading by as many as 37 on Je'lon Hornbeak's layup that made it 95-58 with less than four minutes remaining.
Cousins, who was 4-of-5 from 3-point range, also added three steals for the Sooners, while Jordan Woodard had six assists and only one turnover. Oklahoma will be the No. 2 seed, behind Kansas, in next week's Big 12 tournament.
GAME NOTEBOOK: TCU made all 13 of its free throws but shot just 4-of-17 from behind the arc. ... Oklahoma's bench outscored its counterparts, 25-14. ... Hield and Cousins added four assists apiece, and the Sooners had 25 as a team.
