NORMAN — B.J. Edwards and Derrion Reid combined for 35 points in leading Oklahoma to an 84-57 win over Mississippi Valley State Friday evening at McCasland Field House. The Sooners improved to 4-0 at the venue (the home of OU Basketball from 1928-75) under head coach Porter Moser.

Edwards knocked down a career-best four 3-point field goals and finished with 18 points, five rebounds, four assists and two steals. The Sooners were +35 in his 26+ minutes of action.

Reid added 17 points, five rebounds and two steals, while going 8-of-14 from the field. He was also +35 over nearly 28 minutes of action.

Oklahoma had plenty of production throughout the lineup as Dayton Forsythe contributed nine points on 3-of-5 shooting from 3-point, Duke Brennan added nine points, Quincy Wadley chipped in eight points, seven rebounds, four assists and two steals and the guard tandem of Xzayvier Brown and Pop Isaacs combined for 13 assists.

Mississippi Valley State was led by Tymias Williams who posted 19 points, nine rebounds, three steals and two blocks. OU limited the Delta Devils to 3-of-18 (.167) shooting from beyond the arc, while also forcing 17 turnovers.

HOW IT HAPPENED
Forsythe snapped an OU string of six consecutive misses from 3-point range with a transition three at the 12:54 mark to give the Sooners a 9-4 lead. OU used stifling defense to put together a 13-1 run over a span of 5:13 to extend the lead to 19-5 at the under eight media timeout.

Edwards hit his third 3-pointer of the half to give the Sooners their largest lead at 36-16 with 1:10 remaining. Mississippi Valley State hit a pair of threes late in the half to enter the break trailing 38-22. Reid and Edwards combined for 17 of the Sooners 19 points over the final 6:29 of the first half.

Mississippi Valley State scored the first six points of the second half to trim the deficit but could not get any closer as Oklahoma responded and pushed the lead back to 20 with an 11-4 run that included 3-pointers by Khani Rooths, Isaacs and Wadley. Wadley's 3-point field goal with 8:44 remaining gave the Sooners a 58-38 advantage.

OU continued to stretch the lead with Rooths' dunk off a feed from Wadley capped a 19-4 run that extended the margin to 79-47 with 2:31 remaining. Yaak Yaak scored his first career points as a Sooner on a dunk with 1:28 remaining before MVSU scored the final six points for an 84-57 final.

The Sooners posted a .548 field goal percentage (17-of-31) in the second half, including a 7-of-17 (.412) effort from three-point range.

SHARING THE BALL AT McCASLAND
Oklahoma finished the game with 25 assists; it's most since recording 26 assists in a 107-86 win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Nov. 30, 2023. That game was also played at McCasland Field House.

OU guards (Brown, Isaacs, Edwards, Wadley and Forsythe) combined 24 of the 25 assists, while committing just seven turnovers.
