NORMAN, Okla. -- Tommy Mason-Griffin scored 24 points, Cade Davis added 20 points and 10 rebounds for the second double-double of his career and Oklahoma beat No. 9 Texas 80-71 on Saturday in a game dedicated to the memory of late Sooners star Wayman Tisdale.
The Longhorns (19-4, 5-3 Big 12) cut a 19-point, second-half deficit to five in the final 2 minutes but were hampered the whole game by the same free-throw shooting woes that have been an Achilles' heel all season.
Texas made just 10 of its 27 foul shots and were 4 of 11 in the second half.
Freshman Avery Bradley scored 21 points to lead the Longhorns, who have lost four of six since being ranked No. 1 for the first time in school history. Damion James added 12 points and Gary Johnson had 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Oklahoma (13-9, 4-4) used a 3-point onslaught to build a 19-point lead just after halftime but had to hold on from there.

No. 1 Kansas 75, Nebraska 64: LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Cole Aldrich scored six points during a 16-1 run and Kansas used a big second half to stretch its home winning streak to 55 games.
The Jayhawks (22-1, 8-0 Big 12), who now lead the conference by three games in the loss column, led almost the entire first half Saturday before Nebraska charged out after the break on a 10-2 tear.
When Jorge Brian Diaz worked inside for a bucket that gave the Cornhuskers a 43-39 lead, Kansas called a timeout and Sherron Collins followed with a 3-pointer. A turnover gave the ball back to Kansas and Aldrich had a putback to start the take-charge run.

No. 10 Kansas St. 79, Iowa St. 75: AMES -- Denis Clemente scored a season-high 30 points, including six 3-pointers, and Kansas State won its fourth straight road game.
Kansas State (19-4, 6-3) opened the second half with a 17-4 run, turning a six-point deficit into a 48-39 lead in less than 5 minutes. Iowa State got as close as 60-56 before an 8-0 run by the Wildcats secured the victory.

Texas Tech 81, Oklahoma State 74: LUBBOCK -- John Roberson scored a season-high 28 points to lead Texas Tech.
The win halted a two-game skid for the Red Raiders (15-7, 3-5 Big 12) and extended the Cowboys' losing streak to three.
The Red Raiders started the second half with a 13-4 run to go up 48-30 with about 15 minutes remaining. They had no turnovers in the first 10 minutes.

The Tigers (17-6, 5-3 Big 12) led 42-39 at the break before pulling away early in the second half.
Ahead 43-33, they went on a 14-4 run aided by consecutive 3-pointers from Denmon and English that pushed the lead to 57-37 with 14:40 to go.
