The Texas Longhorns defeated the No. 11 Oklahoma Sooners with a decisive 75-60 score in Norman. Dylan Disu stood out with a double-double, while Max Abmas and Chendall Weaver played crucial roles, with Abmas leading the scoring and Weaver serving as the X-factor. Despite a close game where Texas led 55-52 with 10:59 left and Oklahoma briefly led after a 7-0 run, Texas pulled away with a 10-0 run and a 69-58 lead with 4:52 left in the second half. Jalon Moore's energetic dunks and a personal 5-0 run were highlights for Oklahoma, but they couldn't prevent their first home loss. Following a win over Baylor, Texas achieved back-to-back victories against ranked opponents and extended their winning streak over Oklahoma to six, including five consecutive wins in Norman. Texas now holds a 14-5 overall record and a 3-3 conference record as they head into their next game against No. 21 BYU.
Oklahoma’s offense was just flat-out not good for literally half of the game against Texas. Sooners were 4-of-17 during the first 10 minutes. They were 3-of-15 during the final 10. That’s 21.8% for half of the night. Result: 15-point home loss.
No. 11 Oklahoma faded down the stretch, missing 12 of its final 15 shots against rival Texas in a 75-60 loss at home. More from the #Sooners first home loss of the year: https://t.co/JVzDZOjMOW https://t.co/91FiwyAXWe
UT's 6th straight win over OU - and 5th straight in Norman! After wins over #9 Baylor and #11 OU in a 4-day span, Horns (14-5, 3-3) take some momentum to #21 BYU Saturday. #HookEm https://t.co/4Qz7CuiXBW
Texas deserves a ton of credit for beating Baylor and OU back-to-back. Horns came out energized tonight, held Sooners to 2 second-chance points and was a plus-16 on the glass. Well done.

FINAL: Texas 75, No. 11 Oklahoma 60. In Norman. Max Abmas and Dylan Disu the leaders, but Chendall Weaver was the X-factor tonight. Crucial back-to-back wins for the Longhorns after beating Baylor. They've stabilized since losing 3 of 4 and staring at a six-game gauntlet.
Final | Texas 75, Oklahoma 60 Sooners had moments in this one but Texas + Max Abmas owned the night and completely took the air out of this crowd in the second half. Offense/shooting was rough tonight. Sooners have lots of figuring out to do on in these high-level Big 12 games.
73-58 Texas 2:57 | Dylan. Disu. The Pflugerville product has taken over this game in the last few minutes, picking up a double-double in the process. Longhorns have extended their lead to 15 over the No. 11 team in the country in their gym.
Timeout, Texas | 69-58 Texas 4:52 2H | Big buckets from Disu down the stretch, and the Longhorns have a double-digit lead to protect over the last five minutes.
65-54 Texas 7:50 2H | Longhorns on a 10-0 run since the 11:00 mark. Weaver, Abmas, Hunter, and Disu all contributing on offense and defense.
Texas up eight at Oklahoma with 8:28 to play. Would be the Sooners' second straight win over a ranked foe but long way to go in Norman.
55-52 Texas 10:59 | It's another tight Big 12 game. No team has held a lead larger than double-digits, and this one is going to be a possession-by-possession war over the final 11 minutes. OU with three free throws out of the break.

18-14 Texas 1H | Game of droughts became a game of streaks. OU's Jalon Moore goes on a personal 5-0 run after the Sooner timeout to make it a four-point game. A couple of turnovers from Chris Johnson helped the Oklahoma cause. Horns shooting 50% from the floor, but are 1-for-5…
I actually heard him say that. That pair of Jalon Moore slams are the two best things that have happened for the Sooners tonight and they've got OU right back in this one down 18-14. https://t.co/Y7BB86ECif

Jalon Moore doing his damnedest to keep Oklahoma afloat right now. He gets a block, then a filthy dunk on a Texas defender. Then another fast break dunk, plus the foul. Oklahoma trails 18-14 with about 8 minutes left in the first half.
Jalon Moore said shut up Chapman Massive dunk OU gets a steal and then he yams another one home through context and makes the FT. 18-14 Texas https://t.co/pV3s7tjvcy
Jalon Moore = Sooners energizer. Those dunks just lit this LNC crowd up.
