2. Oklahoma Sooners

Date: Jan. 30

Final Score: 68-66

Location: Lloyd Noble Center, Norman, OK

Current Opponent Record: 8-14 (Big 12)

This victory is more about overcoming the road block that has been the Oklahoma Sooners and Lloyd Noble Center, which really bested the Cowboys for the last decade. Moreover, this game was by far the most exciting finish of any game on the schedule this season.

Forte hit a game-winning three-pointer with less than 10 seconds remaining on the clock. OU followed that by air-balling a shot to seal the victory for the Pokes.

Overall, it’s been a rough year for Lon Kruger and the Sooners. Yet, the Cowboys needed this victory to win in Norman for the first time since 2004. It also snapped a seven-game losing streak to the Sooners.

Evans led the Cowboys in scoring with 24 points, while also stealing the ball three times. And Waters III gave the Pokes a huge boost off the bench with 11 points and two rebounds on his way to being named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week last week.

It will be interesting to see what happens in the next Bedlam meeting which takes place at Gallagher-Iba Arena on Feb. 18.
