Two free throws by Nash and three by Russell sandwiched around a driving layup by At this point KU was content to sit on the ball while hoping to win it at the free throw line if necessary. As it turned out it was necessary and, in an area where this year was not consistent this year, it paid off. The Sooners led only three more times through the innings, and their time coming with 13.5 showing when OU guard John Gorman hit from the corner.
