Jalon Moore scored 15 points to lead Oklahoma to a 66-62 win over Oklahoma State on Saturday in Norman, Okla.
The win snapped the Sooners' three-game losing streak to the Cowboys and was Oklahoma's second consecutive win since dropping three of four.
Oklahoma State has lost back-to-back games.
Trailing by three points in the closing moments, Oklahoma State's Javon Small drove the basket instead of looking for an open 3-point shooter.
The Sooners' Rivaldo Soares was trying to foul Small on the perimeter, but when Small drove toward the basket, Soares caught up and stripped the ball away for the steal, effectively sealing the win.
Oklahoma State led by four with five minutes remaining before Oklahoma reeled off a 9-0 run to grab the lead for what proved to be for good.
The Sooners (18-6, 6-5 Big 12) made just two field goals over the last nine minutes and didn't make any over the last three minutes, but managed to hang on.
Small led the Cowboys with 17 points on 5-of-16 shooting. John-Michael Wright added 13 points and Quion Williams chipped in 12 for Oklahoma State (10-14, 2-9).
The Sooners had a season-high nine blocks, including a career-high four by Moore, who also added eight rebounds. Moore was the only Oklahoma player to score in double figures.
The game lived up to the Bedlam moniker, with the Sooners being called for three technical fouls.
Two came in less than a minute early in the second half.
Otega Oweh was called for a technical after he made a basket less than three minutes in.
Less than 20 seconds later, Sam Godwin also picked up his fourth foul, forcing him to the bench.
Not long after, Godwin was given a technical foul from the bench, ending his day.
But the Cowboys couldn't take advantage.
Oklahoma State shot just 30.6 percent from the floor, its second-worst mark of the season.
The Cowboys were a season-worst 16.7 percent (3 of 18) from beyond the arc.
