Postgame Notes

Dec. 16, 2007

• Oklahoma trailed Michigan State 28-17 in the first half. It was the fewest points scored by Oklahoma in a first half since trailing Texas 29-17 in the first half of their matchup on Jan. 10, 2004, a span of 129 games. OU lost that game with Texas, 63-58.

• OU's 24.5 percent (8-of-34) field goal shooting was its worst first-half performance this season. Previously, OU's worst first-half shooting came against Tennessee when the Sooners made just 34.4 percent (11-of-32) of their field goal attempts.

• OU trailed by 11 at the half, but opened the second period with a 12-3 run in the first three minutes to close the gap to 31-29. Michigan State used two timeouts during that span. During the run, OU was 6-for-6 from the field and forced three Spartan turnovers.

• Oklahoma made its first nine field goals of the second half.
