The Big 12 conference sees intense matchups with Texas Tech facing TCU and Oklahoma playing against Kansas State. TCU secures its third consecutive win, causing Texas Tech to drop out of 1st place in the conference. Meanwhile, Oklahoma dominates Kansas State, leading 35-19 at halftime and ultimately winning 73-53. The victory ends Oklahoma's two-game skid and brings them back to a .500 record in the conference. With every Big 12 team having at least two conference losses, the competition remains fierce.
Not yet four weeks into league play, and every Big 12 team has at least two conference losses; 11 of 14 teams have at least three losses.
K-State drops its third consecutive game and is now 4-4 in league; OU goes wire-to-wire on the road, stops a two-game slide and improves to 4-4. https://t.co/jA7k4SGFES
Jalon Moore hits a career high. Javian McCollum bounces back big on the road. And the Sooners end the skid at two games with a needed win at K-State. Wasn't always pretty but OU will head to UCF Saturday at 16-5 and back to .500 (4-4) in the conference.
Final score from Bramlage Coliseum: Oklahoma 73, K-State 53. Tough loss for the Wildcats, who have dropped three in a row and now have much work to do as they push for a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
Oklahoma probably won the game with that sequence there. K-State couldn't keep the Sooners off the glass.
TCU (5-3) wins its third in a row as Texas Tech (5-2) drops out of 1st place in the Big 12. Houston (6-2) will take its league lead into the weekend. https://t.co/17boLjfmsc

Jalon Moore was awesome in the first half. Nothing special yet from the Sooners (FT shooting is a real problem) and K-State offered plenty of help, but that'll do for Porter Moser and Co. Tonight was about OU leaving Manhattan with a win and the Sooners are halfway there.

Oklahoma leads Kansas State 35-19 at halftime. The Wildcats are probably lucky to only be down 16.
Oddly enough I'm way more impressed with OU's last four minutes than I was the first 8 mins that Kansas State didn't score. Important to finish the half here. Fucked up, I know.
That certainly doesn’t feel like you take advantage of Kansas State going scoreless for the first eight minutes. Strange. Lol.
Oklahoma 8, Kansas State 0 with 11:49 to go in the first half. https://t.co/ix3Vj3mGCp
K-State hasn’t scored in the first eight minutes. OU has eight points in eight minutes. https://t.co/ZwxjFEBDIM
Iowa down 39-28 at the half but feels like it is fortunate to be that close. Disastrous first half for the Hawkeyes outside of Payton Sandfort's contributions and a 6-0 run to close the half.
Big 12 tonight: Ranked v. ranked as Texas Tech visits TCU; both teams have won two in a row. Ranked Oklahoma at Kansas State; both teams are on two-game skids. Oklahoma State at ranked Kansas; Pokes are coming off their first league win, while KU is 10-0 at home this season.
