AUSTIN, Texas (AP) \u2014 Nijel Pack scored 23 points, Xzayvier Brown added 21 points, and Oklahoma beat Texas 88-85 in overtime in the final regular season game of the season for the two Southeastern Conference sides.<\/p>\n
Pack was 7 of 14 from the field and 3 of 7 behind the arc. He scored nine points during a 14-2 second-half run that turned a tie game into a 12-point lead for the Sooners (17-14, 7-11) with fewer than seven minutes remaining. Brown was 8-of-18 shooting with four steals and led with 12 in the first half. Tae Davis added 14 points and nine rebounds.<\/p>\n
The Longhorns (18-13, 9-9) held a 40-36 lead at halftime. They were led by Jordan Pope\u2019s 30 points on an inefficient 8-of-25 shooting but was 7 of 18 from behind the arc. Dailyn Swain added 18 points, seven rebounds, eight assists and three steals. Tramon Mark had 17 points. Matas Vokietaitis had 14 points and six rebounds.<\/p>\n
The Sooners led by six with 36 seconds to go in regulation, but fouled Mark twice, including on a 3-point attempt that followed a turnover. Mark made all five free throws to make it a one-point game with 15 seconds left.<\/p>\n
A pair of free throws from Davis put the Sooners up three. But Brown fouled Pope on a 3-point attempt, and Pope made all three free throws to tie the game and send it to overtime.<\/p>\n
Pope had five in overtime and Mark three for the Longhorns, but Derrion Reid\u2019s five points for the Sooners, including a 3-pointer with 11 seconds left, put the game out of reach.<\/p>\n
Texas lost four of their final five games to finish as the No. 10 seed in the SEC tournament.<\/p>\n
