The Sooners beat the Red Raiders in a pretty uneventful game. OU has won five straight. They have started out conference play at 3-0.

Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger on OU’s improved second half play: “We had better shots and more efficiency in the second half. We had some offensive boards that kept us from doing what they wanted to do defensively. For the most part just better movement on the offensive end.”

Texas Tech forward Dejan Kravic on what he thought happened in the second half: “In the second half they just got whatever they wanted in the post. They just really showed toughness in the second half.”

Oklahoma freshman Buddy Hield on playing 36 minutes: “I feel great, I always feel great. I could go again if I wanted to. Just to help them on the court. It was good to be a spark for the team, keep playing defense and be an energy guy on the floor and keep working every single play.”
