Sooners Fall Short Of Upset Bid

NORMAN, Okla. -- Down 3 with :05 seconds remaining, Oklahoma's Romero Osby misses the second of two free throws. The ball is deflected back to Steven Pledger who has an open 3-point look from the near wing.

Pledger's shot bangs off the front of the rim, sealing a 71-68 win for #4 Missouri.

The missed free throws were a theme for Oklahoma. The Sooners were 9 of 23.

Despite the final second miss, Pledger still led the Sooners with 22 points while Sam Grooms posted a double-double (17 points, 10 rebounds.)

Oklahoma drops to 3-8 in the Big 12 and 13-10 overall.
