No. 25 Oklahoma 74, Texas Tech 65: Jordan Woodard posted 15 points and eight assists as the Sooners led wire-to-wire against the host Red Raiders.

Woodard made all three of his 3-point attempts as the freshman guard finished 5-of-9 overall to help Oklahoma (16-4, 5-2 Big 12) win its third straight game. Buddy Hield had 18 points, including 4-of-7 from behind the arc, and Cameron Clark chipped in 17 points for the Sooners.

Jordan Tolbert and Jaye Crockett led the Red Raiders (10-10, 2-5) with 14 points apiece. Alex Foster helped out off the bench with eight points and eight boards.

Woodard had a layup and a 3-pointer during an early 12-2 run as Oklahoma began to create some separation. The Sooners only scored three points during the final four minutes of the first half, but they still held a comfortable 38-29 advantage at the break.

The lead grew to 47-34 about four minutes into the second half, but Texas Tech whittled the deficit down to 56-52 on Crockett's dunk with 6 1/2 minutes left. However, Hield made a 3-pointer and Clark had a dunk on the Sooners' next two trips - each basket coming off an offensive rebound - and Oklahoma kept Texas Tech at a safe distance down the stretch.
