No. 25 Oklahoma 77, No. 23 Texas 65: Isaiah Cousins had a career-high 24 points as the host Sooners finished the regular-season sweep of the Longhorns.

Buddy Hield hit 4-of-7 3-pointers and finished with 17 points and eight rebounds for Oklahoma (21-8, 10-6 Big 12), which pulled into a third-place tie in the conference with the Longhorns. Ryan Spangler added five points and 10 rebounds.

Cameron Ridley led Texas (21-8, 10-6) with 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting and 14 rebounds. Jonathan Holmes added 11 points and Isaiah Taylor had 10 as the Longhorns outrebounded Oklahoma 40-32.

Hield, Frank Booker and Je'lon Hornbeak hit consecutive 3-pointers during a 17-4 run and Tyler Neal capped the scoring spree with a four-point play for a 21-12 Oklahoma lead with 9 1/2 minutes left in the first half. Texas answered with six straight points and got within four late but Cousins hit a 3-pointer in the final minute to give the Sooners a 32-25 halftime lead.

Hield hit three 3s in a span of just over two minutes to push the lead to 50-35 early in the second half. Cameron Clark's two-handed dunk off Hield's alley-oop gave the Sooners another 15-point lead with just over seven minutes left and Oklahoma coasted from there.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Oklahoma swept rivals Texas and Oklahoma State in the same year for the first time in the 18-year history of the Big 12 Conference. ... Hield has made at least three 3-pointers in 12 of Oklahoma's 16 conference games. ... Texas closes the regular season against last-place Texas Christian and at ninth-place Texas Tech while Oklahoma hosts sixth-place West Virginia and travels to TCU.
