Key moment
After Ohiaeri’s 3-pointer cut Oklahoma’s lead to 11 with 6:55
left in the first half, the Sooners used an 11-2 run to extend
their lead and take the Blue Demons out of their rhythm, as they
missed nine of 10 shots during the spurt.
Key stat

DePaul to just 27.9% shooting, including 4 of 17 (23.5%) from
