The Oklahoma Sooners got off to a sluggish start in their Big 12 regular season finale against the Texas Longhorns. The offense had a couple of cold stretches, and the defense wasn’t up to the challenge in Austin, and the Longhorns completed the Red River sweep of Oklahoma 94-80 on Saturday afternoon.
Javian McCollum returned but didn’t provide much, scoring just five points on 2 of 6 shooting in 26 minutes. Rivaldo Soares stepped up and had a great game with 21 points to lead the way for the Sooners.
The Longhorns shot an astounding 63.6% from the field and 50% from three.
This season, the Texas Longhorns were simply a bad matchup for the Sooners. Oklahoma lost the two games this season by a combined 29 points. Unfortunately, the Sooners will now face the Longhorns in the opening round of the Big 12 tournament, which begins Wednesday.
