No. 19 OKLAHOMA 85, WEBER STATE 51
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma set an NCAA Division I record by scoring 39 straight points in a rout of Weber State.
The Sooners were led by Jordan Woodard and Ryan Spangler, who each scored 15 points.
Oklahoma (8-3) broke the previous record for a scoring run against a Division I opponent of 37 points, set by Utah State vs. Idaho on Feb. 15, 2006. Oklahoma's run turned a 10-4 lead into a 49-4 margin.
The Sooners shot 68.8 percent from the field while building a 51-12 halftime lead. They finished the game shooting 58.1 percent.
The 12 points allowed by Oklahoma were the fewest the Sooners had given up in a half since allowing Texas A&M 10 points in the first half on March 1, 2008. Weber State (4-6) scored eight of those points in the final 1:52 of the half.
The Wildcats shot 13.6 percent (3 of 22) from the field in the first half and 25.5 percent for the game.

Ohio State fell behind early against No. 24 North Carolina on Saturday and lost 82-74 — similar to the scenario in a 64-55 loss to No. 5 Louisville on Dec. 2. But the Buckeyes never trailed against overmatched Miami.
LJ Livingston Jr. had 17 points and Geovonie McKnight 10 for the RedHawks (3-8), who have lost seven of eight.

Freshman Johnathan Motley had 19 points for the Bears (10-1), who moved into the Top 25 earlier Monday. His two free throws with 42 seconds left in the first half put Baylor ahead to stay after Southern (3-10) used a 12-0 run to take the lead.
Adrian Rodgers had 26 points for the Jaguars, who scored the most points against Baylor this season.
Baylor's last field goal of the game was Motley's tip-in with 6:09 left for a 59-51 lead. But the Bears made 11 of their 12 free throws the rest of the way.

No. 25 TCU 80, GRAMBLING STATE 39
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Kyan Anderson scored 17 points and TCU beat Grambling State in the Horned Frogs' first game as a ranked team in almost 16 years.
